Ladies, it all turned out fine..after two hours of waiting, the Petro showed up with fuel for me...like I said, expensive lesson, but the Lord was with both of us; me and the service guy.
He'd set his cones out into the right lane so he could get his hose, and a truck came along and hit TWO of the cones sending them up into the air...fortunately, neither one of us was in harm's way. It's fine to tell me I am a DUMMY for having done that, I've actually found quite a bit of humor in the situation.
I was told that the NEXT time I got prompted to stop for fuel, I was to NOT ask questions...just do it. LOL!!

Quote:
I have been working on changing the prayer and I think I will add it to my daily prayers soon, but the prayer I will be saying will be more like asking the Father to put a hedge of thorns around my H WHEN he is ready to come back, but in the meantime, to work on H's HEART so that I am in there in his dreams and his thoughts - confusing him, maybe, but in his HEART so his thoughts will follow. Remember, God gives us free will and will not tamper with that.


Exactly right, BUT, you have to ask for HIS will to be done, also to ACCEPT His Will...and be able to let go of the situation so He can work within said situation. The bible has illustrated again and again where God worked within people's HEARTS...not their minds.
Pharoah is a classic example, God hardened Pharoah's heart so His glory would be shown in that particular situation.

The Lord directed me at a certain time to pray for Him to work within my husband's heart, as what is in the mind the heart will follow.

We have to be willing to let go and let God work...In Mila's case, it was TIME for the hedge of thorns prayer...I had gotten that very strongly, as her husband is in a decision making process at this point.
If you do not feel this prayer is correct for your spouse, do not pray it...ask the Lord to direct your prayers in such a way that will help your spouse and you.

God has given me things before to say to people, and it is always with an humble heart that I see them come to pass.
I'm wrong, sometimes, and situations have been such that a decision was made that changed what I'd "seen".

One of the things that has frustrated people in the past when I was here before was, that I would get information for some people, but not for others...I had and have NO control over who gets what and when.

MH, there are times when you are interfering with your husband's journey, and I believe the Lord has shown you that several times, letting you know to leave him alone, so the Lord can work on him.
Sometimes, you feel that you are "helping" the Lord, when you're really not; He does NOT need our help at all...by what you THINK you're doing, you can "tie" His hands and make a situation worse when you take matters in your own hands. He cannot work when you are interfering, so let it all GO, GAL, work on yourself..and leave your husband to God.

He is the ONLY one who knows what is best for your husband, and will direct your prayers in the way they should go...you NEED to listen to Him; and stop arguing with Him about different things...just DO what He tells you to do WHEN He tells you to do it.

You will keep on until you literally "chase" your husband out the door, and he will go on with whatever he decides to do WITHOUT you...this is a warning STRAIGHT from the Lord, and you've gotten this before. You MUST stand back and allow your husband to fall and crack his head if that is what it takes.

The Lord knows I love all of you, and feel for you....I've been there, done that, made my mistakes, followed what He told me to do....sometimes I disobeyed Him...and caused things to take LONGER than they should have IF I'd kept my mouth shut, and just went on with my life....letting the LORD handle it all.

It was WHEN I totally let go of my husband...went on with my life, that I felt him stepping on my heels, coming to catch up with me.

All the while I KNEW that decision belonged to my husband, NOT me...and I was finally willing to wait for that to happen when I let it ALL go...my trust in the Lord grew ever stronger as time went on.

Remember, as each person is different, every MLC/Transition is different..what works for one may not work for another. Most of the time it is trial and error for ALL involved.
