Whew! I'm so glad that someone (Craig54) responded about the 70x7. I was ready to get my Bible out and start searching. I wasn't raised once saved always saved but that doesn't matter what does...repentance.
MWG - I have been praying for you and your family. You are so close...I can just taste it for you. I only come here to follow your progress. You and God are an awesome team. Keep up the good work!
Well now maybe your h is thinking. Giving him something to think about. I can only pray MWG that he comes to his senses. I know that this journey has been long and at times disappointing.
Hang in there you are doing good.

Thanks, all, for your posts, prayers, advice, encouragement.
H just left. I was really low key, did my own thing which was in the house doing different things. I did not go outside. Then he came in and watched tv with me and of course, he sat in his recliner chair.
S18 and his friend were out front and I went out there and H was leaving. He said he was coming over on Thursday or Friday and I was like, you are????
Then he leaned over and kissed me a few times, said he loved me and I just started to cry and he was speechless but his eyes were looking emotional.
I was okay, regained my composure and went inside.
I am okay, really, I am.

Thanks for your prayers. I was not raised once saved always saved either which is why I have to think about that.

Yes, he did. He went to Dallas Theological Seminary back around 1979=1980. He became disinterested because he did not like how in each class they would dissect the Word of God and discuss. He would rather read the Bible and feels this is all a person needs.

MWG - you may already know this but when someone runs from God when God has called them into the ministry they can only run so far before God calls them back to that ministry. I can't imagine what your h is going through right now. He is really fighting God right now but you already know who the winner is.
This journey has been long and hard for you and your family but oh, the sweet victory that is just ahead for you. God has been preparing you and your family for a ministry. MWG are you ready to be a minister's wife? Your patience and love through all of this has been amazing and I have wondered why it has been so hard and long on you and your family but once I read that your husband went to seminary the picture became much clearer to me. God may not want your h to go back to a "job" as you and I know it. I don't have to tell you to keep your options open you are a very smart woman and you have probably already figured this out.
Your husband is running and it's not from you or the OW. He's running from God's calling to the ministry and he's scared. You can't blame him for being scared because he's been running for a long time. He needs your prayers and understanding more now than ever.
