Why he game home Part 1. First of all God gets all the Glory for this opportunity of restoration!
I am just going to write a little at a time, as I am not pressing him for information. I am listening as he volunteers it.
God was working on him in ways I could not see. I did not know God's plan, but he had one. * H hated where he was staying. He first stayed with his parents and then moved into one of those extended stay hotels. He missed the comforts of home and missed me (even though he did not show it at ALL.) * He was spending time with his adult children and some of their friends were having marital problems. His advice to them was "work it out...all M's have problems" He thought about how he was giving advice he was not following and he felt bad about himself. * He ran into a mutual friend of ours who has been seperated since Nov. The friend was saying how he missed his WAW and how, even though his W had some problems, he wanted his M to work and wanted to support his W. * One of his friends, who has been a bachelor (the Charlie Sheen type on 2 1/2 men) asked his girlfriend to marry him.
God was putting the right people and situations in his life. I kept thinking "what can I do?" How is going dark going to make a difference. Going dark was giving him space and allowing God to work on him. Being patient is hard, especially when the divorce is nearing and the clock is ticking louder and faster.
Psalms 138:7-8 Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will bring me safely through them. You will clench your fist against my enemies! Your power will save me. The Lord will work out his plans for my life- for your lovingkindness, Lord, continues forever. Don't abandon me- for you made me.
