have not posted in awhile, actually since i received the summons from my wife. pma has been exceptional but for a few days here and there. w has not talked about doing the remaining paper work involving the divorce, settlement agreement. family went to dinner last night , had a very pleasant evening. she even sat on couch next to me . no contact, but was nice to have her there. no r talk, at all. at times i want to bring something up. but i just bite my lip and think about something else. the Lord has been teaching me patience. has not been easy. take 1 day at a time. keep my expectations for her at very low. will wait to file response until last moment.

journaling,
my wife just found out her father had a massive heart attack and was on life support. she is on her way up to salem oregon to say goodbye before they take him off life support. my heart is broken for my wife, she is having a tough enough time dealing with our situation, now she has to deal with her father dying. i pray the Lord can bring something positive out of all this.please pray for her safety on her trip . thanks to all.

Sad about your FIL. I'll do some praying for your family today.

That's the way to do it brother. Just pass on those opportunities to fall. Keep walking in courage, strength and faith. God will heal you no matter what happens in your M. He is your salvation, your rock, your deliverer. In HIM you will find all that you need to survive.

Quote:

Yes when we pray for patience, He blesses us with situations that require us to develop patience. Like pushing the rock uphill develops a strong body.
Quote:
she still seems emotionally detached from me.
It's going to be that way for a long time, possibly forever. She's not a little girl anymore, she's a woman; secure and independent. Women don't attach themselves to men, only young girls (adolescents) do that.

Keep up the good work Craig. Keep working on YOU! Keep loving your W 1C:13, and keep on praying.

God Bless,

COG

as noted about my wifes father passing away sunday. she is in salem attending to her fathers affairs as much as she can. i feel pretty worthless not being there with her to help share the burden. i do not want to push her, but i told her i can bring our daughter with me and spend a few days helping any way i can. there will be no service. so wife is viewing her dads body today. i wish i could be there to comfort her. my heart is broken for my wife, the added stress of her father dying is not going to be easy. i know the Lord can use all this for his glory. i know something positive can come out of this.

Craig,

Just a thought.....instead of asking, why don't you just surprise her?

Craig,

It sounds like you are doing a good job being there for her. Keep being strong and positive. Let her know you'll do anything she needs.

Good work
