That would be so hard especially just getting used to him being around and then leaving again as well as the responsibilities of being a "single" parent in his absence. I know the Lord will give you the peace you seek and His grace is sufficient to meet your needs; just rely on Him.<br><br>bettyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991415371219936859.post-25525017035869302932005-09-19T10:18:00.000-07:002005-09-19T10:18:00.000-07:00This entry made me very sad.

I know exactly how you feel because Johnny and I went through this exact thing many times, including the moving and the sleeping on the couch thing. It is NOT good, but don't let satan get the best of you. NOW is not the time to fret, hon. It's time to make peace with GOD. That is what it will take to get things back on track. It's tough being separated from the one you love, but take advantage of it. Rather than let it get you down, determine to plan a surprise for Josh when he gets back home. It's not about money, hon, though GOD knows and understands our need of it. IT's really about our conception of what "love is' and our relationship with God. Your marriage will hold up, but only if you keep GOD in the picture and don't let satan keep you focused on all that is going wrong. What about those things that are going RIGHT? True, there might not be a lot of them but there is ONE HUGE RIGHT THING, which is GOD"S LOVE. Trust Him and everything will turn out all right. I PROMISE! I can promise because I have gone through all this too. Like you, I cried, felt discouraged, got angry and sad and wasted a lot of time doing nothing, except falling right into satan's hands. Once I realized the error of my ways, I asked God's forgiveness and asked Him to help me take it a day at a time; to guide my words and actions...and HE DID/<br>BE strong in the Lord and He will not let you down. NOT EVER! if you can't trust the one who died for you, who then can you trust?<br> Will be praying for you and Josh every day.<br> Love you much<br>Barb- http://journals.aol.com/barbpinion/HEYLETSTALK<br> http://journals.aol.com/barbpinion/THERESTOFTHESTORYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991415371219936859.post-39442566022720645962005-09-19T12:52:00.000-07:002005-09-19T12:52:00.000-07:00ahhhh hugs mary.

I couldn't imagine not having a husband around for eight weeks. Hang in there, and ask the Lord what to do about the situation, and to sustain you during the times that your hubby is gone.<br><br>Krissy<br>http://journals.aol.com/fisherkristina/SometimesIThinkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991415371219936859.post-53892594595160622232005-09-20T06:31:00.000-07:002005-09-20T06:31:00.000-07:00God bless the both of you.....take a page out of m...God bless the both of you.....take a page out of my book and use this time apart to re-establish a consistent time in the Bible and with God each day. Ask Him to help you be the wife He knows Josh needs....the wife He desires you to be.....ask Him to help you to see Josh as He sees him. Give God control of your days, ask Him to order them....to help you chose what to tackle and what to let go. If you are moving back closer to God when Josh returns again, you'll find that time together richer and smoother. - Barbara<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
