hi Hope. I don't think I've posted to you before, but read your response to my long post on FF's thread about hearing the same verse "be still" to prayers. I just wanted to say that I know what you mean about feeling like giving up in the 5 months. This stuff can take forever, and I mean that, it sure seems like forever. I felt like quitting so many many times. I cant count the times. and I would be so angry at H's accusations and nastiness, he was just crazed at times. and that voice would come to my mind....be still...and I would try. And it seems to have helped. Finally, Finally, after nearly 3 years and gallons of tears and so many break-ups and reconcilliations between them...H really does seem to be "done" with monster. So, Hope, if the little voice deep down keeps telling you to keep going, listen to it. God's timeframe is not the same as ours. And, as my mother pointed out to me once, one way that Satan works is to work on US, by making us discouraged to the point of throwing in the towel. That shocked me, I was so aware of how Satan was blinding H, it never occurred to me that he was getting to me as well through the discouragement I felt.
