wow, I probably have a lot to say, but as I don't have much time I will say this.
I understand that for some of you, you may FEEL that SMW has expectations for something that may not come thru. I understand that you don't want her to be hurt and disappointed, however, if you believe in God's word, God tells us he hates divorce, and he tells us that God only granted divorce during Moses' time because of the hardness of their hearts, but it was not God's will from the beginning (of creation).
Also, a big portion of receiving answered prayers is based on our faith. Jesus said that if we had the faith of the size of a mustard seed that we could move a mountain.
I believe that it may be in the best interest for those who do not stand for what SMW believes in, to either refrain from discouraging her faith or to not post at all.
When I realized my path, I removed all my family from me. I told my mother, my sister, my mom-n-law, everyone that I would not be speaking to them and that if they wanted to contact me, they could send me an email and I may respond. I knew that I needed to not be distracted from FEELINGS. feelings that my friends and family wanted to keep me from being hurt.
okay, SMW, you know that my marriage was saved by our Lord, and you know yours will be as well. The people of this world cannot have the same understanding, but they just want to help you, they do care for you, so do not feel burdened by their feelings. You know what God has in store for you and that is all you need.
Crissy--
Thank you for being my friend. I was truly blessed the day I found you and cannot wait for the day we meet in real life.
I do not expect people to believe what I believe, but I do mind when people discount my faith, as I am sure they would mind my discounting what they believe in.
You know that my family was not initially supportive of my standing for my marriage. Most of them have since had a change of heart and are behind me 110%. For that I am grateful. It gives me someplace to go without feeling like I have to guard my heart. They do not probe, they are simply there for me an I need that every now and again.
God's plans our not our plans and I feel that His will is that I stand and wait for my husband, no matter how long it takes. So, I will.
Living God's blessings with grace and dignity~ SMW
