LoveNoMatterWhat's New Thread

[FaithfulH]

After work I picked up my daughter and went home. When I opened the door, I was totally surprised. There were balloons everywhere and on my kitchen table there was a cake that said "thank you for all you do for me". That was completely unexpected.

LNMW,

Well....not TOTALLY unexpected! I (and I bet you) expected God was still at work in your sitch....even when YOU momementarily lost hope and faith.

I am so happy for you and your family! As we have discussed, this is a long road back.....enjoy the journey! Everybody is healing....maybe even your extended circle of friends and inlaws. This event is one of many that will confirm in EVERYBODY'S hearts why your family should be (will be) back together under one roof. Heck....you're together now....just not living in the same place.

It was such a wonderful night and my ex (won't use the word wife so that new folks don't get confused) looked just beautiful.

I'm glad you used "wife" later in your post. This thread is yours...not ours. Sometimes we may forget a critical part of your sitch....which is why you have to rely on God more than us to direct your path. You never know what bit of our own garbage or past we are bringing into our "advice"....so, never forget to check anything you hear here with the "big man upstairs" (obviously, my advice included) before you act. I hope you don't resort to calling your W your ex...newbies and even some of us old timers be darned! Frankly, this bit of advice has more to do with helping you maintain an attitude of "your marriage IS ALREADY restored in God's eyes....it's just the earthly evidence hasn't quite caught up with that reality".

As I head back to bed for a few hours rest, I am at peace over God's hand in all of our lives....and yours in particular.

In a brief hijack, I will close with one bit of praise in my own life.....I was told by the lead company in my job search that I will be receiving an offer on Monday evening to move to Dallas to join their Headquarter's team...praise GOD! I think I'll go dust off my old thread to share with old friends on the MLC board...

Good night, LNMW...and friends!
