I woke up from a bad dream that he had left again. Woke up crying. I have to remember the things about him that make him who he is. That coming from the home that he came from, our communication problems and the way he treats my kids must seem pretty great to him. I have to remember that he is/was lacking maturity and I have got to stop holding him to some high standard of behavior, and have less expectations of him. He has continued to make the effort to show love in small ways this week, even though I have withdrawn. A relationship can't be as close as we were last weekend 24/7. Satan has been at work again here, pushing us apart because we had gained some ground in the marriage. I have to be resistant to that. I have to act, not react.
"Being at peace with yourself is a direct result of finding peace with God."
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4:7
