Lostgirl at MLC posted this and I wanted to bring it over here to share. It is so insightful, so what I needed to read.
As for my patience and restraint--it comes from the Lord--NOT me. If I solely relied on myself to deal with all this, I would have failed miserably. So all the glory goes to Him. That is who I am working for to restore this marriage--not me or my H, just Him. This has never been about me or what I want--it is what the Lord wants. I just follow His guidance.
I now know why I am working on restoring my marriage, why I must continue on my journey. I'm not doing it for me, otherwise I would have given up long ago. He is giving me the strenth to continue to get back up when I fall, when I think all has been lost, when I want to give up...as long as I listen to the Lord I cannot lose.
