I never posted to you before but I have read your posts to others and always found them useful. Thank you. Your last post above really hit home about the blame game. I also related to your 10/3 and 11/1 posts.
Just wanted to wish you luck. You show great courage. If my W ever decides to give us another chance I know that the hard work will just begin.
Quote: What an amazing testimony to the power of God in one's life once we submit and look at ourselves through HIS eyes...I've learned so much from you, from clear across the country, and it continues.
Ditto you my sister. I've never witnessed the peeling onion like you shared with us. I'll never forget that series of posts you made.
You come back and post here whenever you want to. I'll still be here, fulfilling my purpose. Your sitch IS going to change, there's no doubt about it. May God be with you in everything you do. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray right now for the complete healing of your M, and that you be blessed with strength, courage, and a faith that moves mountains.
This is the beginning not the end.
Love,
COG

I attend a men's prayer group every Friday lunch. Last week the speaker talked about appreciating and being grateful for the struggle. He has a form of MS. He thanked God for taking away the use of his left leg, because it helped him appreciate the strength in his right leg. WOW! What a concept. I started thinking about it and I realized how thankful I was that God took away our M, because it helped me love my W, and appreciate our M like I never had before, and I never would have if I had not lost it. Amen!
This is a increadible lesson for us all to learn. Most of us take what we have for granted. Its only when something goes wrong in our perfect little world that we realise what we have lost. This is the second time i have heard this saying this week!
I pray that you find the strength to continue on your journey with your wife. I can see Gods power work through you, & I pray that at the end of this journey I too can be of some help to someone & show that Gods love & strength will see us through this all.

Oh. Yeah. Thanks for that, COG. I was crying before my kid even got on the schoolbus!
Thanks Soreheart. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray for the resurrection of your M too. I pray that you be blessed with courage, strength and the kind of faith that moves mountains.
Amy,
Quote: Seriously, that WAS a dreadful few days...
Laying our burden down is a scary thing to do, we've become so attached to it. I was really moved at how the pain from your past, present, and future just came gushing out. You've been a different person ever since. That experience changed you AmyC. Our painful memories and fear of future painful events just keep us DOWN. It's like trying to swim in concrete shoes. You showed us how to let those burdens go. How many other women came forward after your posts and talked about their pained R's with their mother's and father's. You showed us how to see the burdens we've been carrying, and how to let them go.
Now that's what I'm talkin about!
God Bless,
COG

I'm not responsible for my W's failures, only mine. I take them VERY seriously, and trust me, she knows it. That's the main reason we're still together today. I've also found that the more responsibility I take for my failures, the more she takes for hers.
Very wise words, and true. It seems the same in my sitch. The more I take resp for my failings, the more she seems to as well.
