You are thinking of 1 Samuel when David and his men returned from battle to find that the Amalekites had taken their women and children. The men stopped at the Brook Besore to rest before going after their families:

Quote:
1 Samuel 30:8-10 and David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?"
"Pursue them," he answered. "You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue."
David and the six hundred men with him came to the Besor Ravine, where some stayed behind, for two hundred men were too exhausted to cross the ravine. But David and four hundred men continued the pursuit.


How tired must a man be that he cannot go after his family who has been taken by the enemy? One third of these men (200) didn't have the strength to go after their families! Rest up, LonelyD, you are in the 400!! You are definitely in the battle!

BTW, you know that God uses dreams as one means to communicate with us? Correct? Keep a journal! Looking back on my journal I am amazed at all of the clear signs God was giving me that my marriage was going to be restored. Some of them I got immediately....others not so much (I can be thick headed)!

Also, I know AmyC said she didn't go too hard on me....but, I still have the bruises to show for it...LOL! Seriously, I love that woman like a sister...she saved me from my stupidity several (many) times!
