thanks honeypot....the encouragement helps me breathe deeply enough to hang in...
I'm glad to know you understand about the confession stuff....I figured it would sound really far out to everyone, but it is very significant to H...and yes, I've thought how tremendously difficult it would be to do that, very, very hard, I guess that's what makes it so huge....
Interesting about the devil....I've never given such things much thought before, but maybe I should have...this past weekend was just so incredibly weird, with all the stuff going out, and H's comment about the devil must be really mad at us, my mom's comment about the devil being at work on me trying to make me give up....never in our life has so much "stuff" just fallen apart all at once....and things that create huge amounts of stress, when stress has been an issue in H's life...I mean, the AC getting taken out (it was 109 degrees here this weekend), water spraying all over the basement and H's treadmill, which is a big stress reliever for H, giving out....just incredible....but I guess God was with us also, because other than I lost my temper w/the company who installed the water tank, we were able to get through it all and didn't turn on each other, at all really.... I pray that H will have strength, that we both will, and I am thanking God that we scheduled vacation now, and went ahead and made arrangements for it. The timing has to be God's grace....
