Strong & Marvelous ~ You were born to have those children. God has uniquely qualified you to raise them to know Him, love Him and serve Him. Cousin is entitled to an opinion but the decisions belong to you. That's the fence line. Good for you for guarding it. Trust yourself in that.

Thank you, my friend. Please do not be impressed by me, but instead by the power of Almighty God. It is from Him that I gain my strength. I love my DH and the unconditional love has grown with time and guidance from the Lord.
That is beautiful :-). You are a wonderful woman who truly loves the Lord. The Lord has also continued to increased my unconditional love from my H. It is amazing.
I also love what Coach said.
Me:28, first M H: 33, second M Married: 08/08 Bomb: 10/08 H filed D and deployed: 12/08 Served: 04/09 I deploy: 07/09 Hearing date: 08/09
Stick around a bit and keep checking on me. I am going to need more support as the end of deployment draws nearer. Any insight on the little I have posted about? there really has not been anything new and the emails still go back and forth pretty regularly (barring the week straight without having one that I just went through)--we are averaging 3 or so a week normally.
The one question I keep coming back to is will I take him back if the kids are the only reason he wants to come home. Of course, this is a little premature to think about, but it still creeps into my mind every now and again.

Just saw this.
If you're like me, the longer you wait, and the more hoops you have to jump through...the better the prize ought to be.
It doesn't really work that way, though. Don't worry about what he 'says'. Watch what he 'does'. If he comes home....it doesn't really matter what his initial words are so much.
You are too awesome for anyone not to miss.
I'll read your situation a little better in the next few days.
Peace!

Thanks Greek!
My kids are amazing! I love them so much!
My cousin means well, she is just concerned and wanting to protect us. However, she also does not understand how I can walk in faith and believe in restoration. She does not attend church and does not know the Lord and His mighty powers. She did, though, when sending out her wedding invitations, address mine to me and DH. She will give me some concessions, anyway. When my marriage is restored through the grace of God, I hope it encourages her to start attending church.

You are so sweet! It IS truly amazing how God will lead us down the right path when we FINALLY let Him lead.
Coach and Greek are awesome and I am blessed to call them my friends. They have a restored marriage. See if you can find some of Coach's old threads. He has come so far!

The prize of my husband coming home will be awesome, in and of itself. He is a good man and I love him very much.

I will play it as it happens, I do not think he will say anything one way or the other before he comes home.

OHHHH! Thank you! I hope he does miss me, at least a little bit. At least I know he thought of me enough to remember to wish me a happy birthday.

IT is a mutual luck, trust me. You guys do not know him. HE really is a good man and a great father.
D5 said yesterday that she cannot wait for Daddy to come home and be Mommy's husband again. What a cutie!
Great news yesterday! The Ship's Captain updated the Careline. The turnover with the replacement ship is done, and they are officially on their way home! One more portcall in Europe and then they will cross the Atlantic for the US and homeport. I got huge butterflies in my stomach of anticipation. I can hardly wait to see him again and his wonderful smile!
