Day 22

Follow in His footsteps

Day 22

Yesterday was my day 22. Did have contact with my husband, but didn't tell him I love him period. We had a talk about the kids and about me getting another house. All in all it took about half an hour. We didn't have words, seemed too understand what the other was saying so it was good. Still felt this great big distance between us, so didn't tell him I loved him period.

The night before we had words over the phone and I ended up hanging up, because I felt I was losing control again and it was better to be still. I said I am going to hang up now, because you are saying things I did, which I didn't do.

I ended up texting him that I didn't think it was weird he didn't love me anymore, if all he has are these extremely negative thoughts about me. So much for being still.

I was proud of my self though, cause I didn't say things to hurt him, didn't yell and was just to the point.

Today we have an appointment with a counselar, to help with our communication. I will say it there and otherwise just listen. Be Still. Praying to God to guide me and to give me the right words to speak and be a guard for my lips.

On another note, this weekend I and my children are going on a small holiday to Belgium. We are really looking forward to that.

Will keep up the love dare and learn more about what God wants me to do, everyday there is new insight, everyday there is more peace. Want to follow in His footsteps, because that is the only way.

God Bless You

I agree, you need to be a testimony. And be as much as you can be.

But right now, you need to focus on your journey and grow and allow Him to mold you. And allow Him to work on her. Do not interfere with His work. Your changes and the way God molds you, will in itself be a testimony.

And those rejections are so important. There is no better way to make you humble....

day 22...she loves me, she loves me not???

Otty, You've come such a long way. While I would not wish the pain you've endured regarding your marriage, I am proud at how you've grown and privileged to be able to follow your story on this site. Praying for you. Be still.

Agustus, I read the journal you wrote on Saturday. Have you read Otty Beaner's posts? He's doing a 2nd round of Love Dare with papers filed, similar to your situation. Reading some of his story may bring you healing. Also, Sean's journals are great.

Otty, Do you see the differences in this time and the last? I mean with you, not your marriage? I see that you are trusting Christ more

Love.....

On following his heart. Let him know that the heart is the most deceitful thing in the world. It only lives for the moment. But a lifetime of unhappiness.

The anger and hurt... Give it to God. Ask for his comfort. He will give it to you. When you feel it. BE STILL, FOR I AM GOD.... That will bring you to know that God is working on him, and you. In your last paragraph, it seems you are still focused on your husband. You are still putting him first on your mind. That has to change. God is a jealous God. PUT HIM FIRST.... But I have to say, you are doing much better and Growing, no doubt...
