Where I focus on charity and prayer

[DifRent]

Ah, Cali... thank you. This was just what I needed to read, a different perspective. Makes perfect sense that the OW is threatened, and it's "them vs. me." Although the instances are fewer as time goes on, every now and then my W says or does something that indicates she might be making a mistake, or that she knows how much I love her, or that she doesn't like it when I'm not around. I am guessing on occasion the OW sees that, too.

I know that time is gift - time to let things unfold between them as they will, time for the manipulations and machinations to come to light. Space will also be a gift... we need it in order for us to possibly see each other with new eyes. I need to focus on creating a better and stronger me too, I know this.

But the other thing I know is that prayer works, and surrendering to God's will brings peace like nothing else. I have been praying, and many, many others have been praying, too. She must feel it somehow. I can see she is becoming increasingly hostile to anything that has to do with God - the attack, the battle, the confusion even within herself is real.

So thanks for calming me down a bit, Cali. I feel strengthened to renew my commitment to staying the DB course.
