No--she will not graduate until next year. She is a junior. Her ring dance was last weekend. She decided to go at the last minute and looked absolutely beautiful! She put up pictures of both of us all dressed up on her myspace and we both got a bunch of compliments
Her doctor put her on ADs a couple weeks ago and she is meeting with a counselor at school. The change has been unbelievable. She is actually looking forward to going to the pier to pick up her dad. I am happy to see all that she has accomplished and pray that she will continue to let God help her forgive her dad and move forward.

Thanks for coming to visit me and the compliment! I am hopeful with no expectations. Everyone in his family is planning on being on the pier with me, plus possibly my dad.
The ship is pulling in for its last port call any time now. looks like 4 days in port, and then they head westward toward home. I cannot believe this cruise is almost done. I almost want to go back and start all over again, but be where I am now. I wonder how much more I could have accomplished? Oh well, as Mike says, "it is what it is."
I still feel good about all that has changed in me, as I know I am working toward being the woman, wife, and mother that God wants me to be. A friend asked me today if I was nervous about homecoming. I said a bit, but not as bad as I thought it would be. I think that is because of the no expectations attitude.
Please keep the prayers going. No matter what DH thinks his plans are, God has His own plan and it could kick into high gear anytime.

oh I have missed so much! I'm looking forward to reading it all though. I'm listening to that song right now. I haven't heard it in years! It was a good song, and I can imagine how you would be feeling listening to it.
I'm excited to see your DH face when he sees you, and when he sees what all you've done at home! He's gonna be shocked! I bet you look way more amazing in person!
anyways, just want you to know I haven't disappeared, but been really busy. I coached my first soccer game today. and reading something you wrote, about a teaching on being humble and we ask God why he is having us do something that we don't feel we are capable of doing. well, that's me right now coaching soccer!!! But thank you for that message, I felt that was written just for me.

well, you know me, I always have to throw in my 2 cents.
This is a website I use occasionally, his name is Dr. Walt Stolls and he started out as an MD, then discovered how many other ways God has given us to help the body heal itself. (actually, that's my statement lol) So, here is a link on Gerd, and on parasites.
There is also a forum where you can post questions about your problems if you can't find the answers.
It sounds like you were right about the intestinal problems, about him eating yogurt to help get him balanced. Medicines can be helpful, but many times there are side affects happening that we don't even know about until later, aka the antibiotics. I will pray he receives healing soon. I'm sure that can't be very comfortable for him, poor thing.

Faithful--
I know you, and many others here, are praying for DH and I and I cannot ever express how much it means to me. God will work this out. I am patient and will wait until He gets through to my DH. I know, right now, he has plans to "go away" for most of his leave period when he returns from deployment. I am not dumb, I can pretty much figure out what that means. The kids are going to be so hurt and upset that he is not spending time with them. They talk about what "we" are going to do with Daddy when he gets home. But, that is his problem to work out, not mine. I can only control me.
From his last emails, I am given the impression that DH wants to stay here at the house when he plans to be home. I do not want that--for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that D9's counselor said it was not healthy for the kids. However, God apparently has other plans and has been dealing with me pretty harshly on this. Kind of like being thumped in the back of the head repeatedly. maybe God is planning on working on the mountain from inside our home?? I do not know what His plans are, but I will let DH stay here, within my boundaries--i.e. no contact with OW from the house or around the kids.
I am praying for teh epiphany and so are many others from here and church. With God, anything is possible and miracles happen, especially when the situation lines up with God's will.

It was rough but I know that God is working things out according to His plan. I can be strong in the Lord and wait.

I feel great and I receive enough compliments to know that I have changed a lot these past seven months. Just yesterday, a woman from church greeted me and told me that I get more and more beautiful every week. Makes this 40 year old woman feel great! God has changed me so much during this time frame. those changes are more important to me than the outward appearance, but I do enjoy looking the best I have in a long time.

Glad that the message meant something to you in your situation, too. I am sure you are a great coach, do not sell yourself short! if nothing else, you will lead withquiet determination--something that is inspiring to little kids.
