Thankyou for the prayers, Bonnie and Ann. They echo my own. Alee, I had never thought about the hidden agenda behind the modern advertising before. Very enlighting.
Hubby is home again, for a week or so. His next school will be in this area, but he will be putting in aweful hours so I don't know how much I will see him. We had a good talk and things are going pretty well. I still am hurt and have my fears, but I know that he loves me and is sincere in his repentance. He's been calling me a couple times a day...almost like we are dating again. Sometimes I am afraid that I am just being stupid and gullable, but I do want to believe the best about him. Since divorce is NOT an option anyway, I am determined to be as sweet and loving as possable that even if he is not sincere this wife's faith may bring this husband to repentance. The crazy thing is, in someways this has been a good thing. I use to think he was absolutly wonderful. I believed in him so much that often times I would rely on him when I should have been trusting in God. I sure have learned a lot about the substaining power of the All Mighty God in the past few months. One of the frightening things that I have learned is that after depending on Martin for so long, I feel very vonerable depending on somebody I cannot see. Even though that somebody has the entire universe at his command. I cannot believe that my faith is so shallow! Since faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God, I have been spending (and enjoying) much time in Bible study and prayer. Many thanks! I praise the Lord for all of you!

You ARE doing the right things, Trina. I don't know Martin, but my gut says he isn't manipulating you. You are being sorely tried in the fire... and we ALL have weakness right under the surface which only God knows about, and find ourselves lacking faith we thought was rock solid. It's just His reminder to look at Him every minute, and don't have faith in your faith. Thanks for the update.
Love,
Ann
There is a Redeemer. |

Trina,
I'm so sorry you are going through this. I can only imagine how hurtful it is to you. I was thinking about you & wondering if you or your husband have heard of the XXX church? I am including their website for you. I have heard really good things about this ministry.

Blessings Trina,

Thanks again for the encouragement. I am so greatful to you all and the encouragment I recieve from you! When I confessed that divorce was not an option, I expected to be flogged, but instead I was encourged and lifted up! Another thing that I am finding to be an encouragemrnt is that recently Martin has become more active in leading our family spiritualy. I have prayed for this and now I understand that under such a burden of sin he was formerly unable to lead us. We are listening to a recording of the Bible (those who can read, follow along in the Scriptures) as a family every evening (the kids and I started it when he was gone, but now he's taken over leading the time) and currently are in Genesis. For the first time, I realised just how prevelant sexual sin has been since the very beginning of time. It seems that almost every other chapter is telling of somebodys grief caused by lust!
Great link, Rhonda! My internet filter will not let me see the whole page, but I've followed some very good links from it.
Thanking the Lord for all of you, Trina
