2nd Time Learning IV

Thank you for the update IWB - I think it's good to let us know how you have been. You are making great efforts and your faith will help you grow strong.

Remember to not use your faith so that you can get your wife back. It still may or may not happen. That's why I am always careful to separate my faith from my feelings toward my husband. I know my growth in the Lord is between me and God regardless what happens with H.

You are doing well to keep yourself busy with things - but make sure you are doing it for you not to prove anything to her. I've noticed that there are a million things that I have improved in in the last year - some very obvious. H has not remarked even one time about it. How devastating that could be if I allowed it to be - but I don't. I'm not changing for him - I'm changing for me.

Thanks for writing on my thread today. I actually took to heart what you said. We all justify I guess - even to ourselves. Sometimes I think we are the hardest people to face when we have to look in the mirror and tell ourselves the truth.

thank you for being a good friend. You are always in my prayers IWB. I'm so glad your faith is growing. You are very special.
