lis, my thread is open to everything and anything, bud.
I have learned that bad things happen to good people all the time. Look at all the innocent victims of crime and war. Children included. It IS because of the free will He gave man. It has been nearly two years for me being a Christian. Former Catholic that was non-practicing. Agnostic actually for several years prior. My sitch is what brought me to Christ.
But your right. Being tested, my faith has waivered as well. A visiting minister one said that we don't WANT to know what is going to happen. What if Mary knew what was going to eventually happen to her son? Could she have followed the path that was chosen for her? Like Jack said, "You can't handle the truth!!"
In the flesh, we can't understand.
So what do we do? We pray that that our spouses can "find" their way back through the fog. And if not, for Him to let us find the path that He wants for us.

Thanks for taking the time to comment (and sorry for starting the lock H4H!).
I do understand the free will side of things. I do know that He wants us to make our own choices which are hopefully the right ones. I guess all we can do is continue to believe (for those that do) and continue to pray.
And act in the way that He would expect us to and want us to...
H4H, I guess this is our cross to bear - let's pray our resurrection comes soon, if that is what is meant to be.

No one ever has, or ever will, escape the consequences of their actions.
I knew you'd understand. I wouldn't say the things I do to anyone but you. Keep praying, h4h. (((((hugs))))))
The problem is that WE have free will too, dub. Struggling and struggling to do what I think is right.
I've gotten to the point that I don't think that I can forgive her anymore. I have told her that I did. Maybe I was just saying that. The thought of what she has done to our family and to me....
I just don't think I can do it anymore. But I will continue to do the rope-a-dope. Take things day by day.
Have to do things that make me and my kids happy. That's all that matters anymore.
That and trying to stay sane

Just make sure that the things that make you happy is not going out with single girls while you are married. Free will, yes. Doing something while mindfully knowing it is wrong is something else. Especially since you got me hovering over your shoulder reminding you EVERY day.
We will always help you back up. Just don't fall on purpose.
