Hi PH, Glam, NLT, MWG, and others,

After reading the several post on God's perfect timing a thought hit me or maybe God told me, if we knew when God's timing for out sitch was like say it was a week or month away would we then just stop working on ourselves? Would we tell ourselves that we have done enough to finally get our spouse back because we know the clock is finally winding down to the last moments and we are happy that they are home again? Maybe I am just trying to say that if we knew the (WHEN) that we may get lax and not continue to put all the effort God expects us to put into God, ourselves, an our marriage. Maybe the not knowing continues to push us in many ways as God develops or molds us into what he wants US to be and for what he wants us to be as a spouse to our spouse. I think this time also applies to our spouse as he works on them on the other side of our mountain. EVERYONE on here continue to have faith as small as a mustard seed and say to God to move your mountain and throw it into the sea and it will be done. God keeps his word and he will finish what he has started. I know the pain as much as the rest of you. I also get anxious, restless, and discouraged too, but I understand that this all has a purpose. This suffering is part of the molding process, and in the end it is all worth it, time will tell for all of us. We should do our best to stay strong, keep praying, and continue to stand for our marriage. God only expects us to do our best, he knows we will fail part of the time, but to continue to look to HIM.
