Lesky, how are you doing?
I know some days may seem so hard to get through.
But just keep holding onto Jesus.
I just wanted to share one more thing with you.
Because of the betrayal I went through, I had to cling to Jesus in every moment of every day just to get through each day.
And amazingly, along with my marraige being healed, I came to know Jesus so much, and so perfectly, that since, He has been so much the joy and delight and love of my life, that I now rejoice in all that was, because it brought Jesus so complealy.
Sometime what we see as loss, is in Jesus, our greatest gain! :)

Hugs and God bless

Pickles I am clinging to Jesus. Yes some days are hard. I try daily to just move forward. It comforting to hear that someone else made it through so thanks for sharing. There is a lot going on in my life right now so everything I do seems difficult. I keep fighting because I know God loves me and will give me strength to move on. However there are days when I feel I have very little fight left in me. Thanks for the encouraging words.

God Bless

Hi Lesky,
I'm so sorry you're going through this pain! Yes, I can see how much it hurts to be cheated on. You say you feel unloved and unwanted but since your husband wants to work on your marriage, then doesn't that mean he does love you and want you?

Are you both going to a marriage counselor? Having an objective person guide your communication may be helpful. There is a lot of healing to do and it will take time, patience, and forgiveness. Baby steps are fine :)

I admire you for giving your husband another chance. That takes a lot of strength! I'll be praying for you both and your children...that God will be in your struggle and guide you through it :)

Hi, lesky! I'm back because...well. just because you're in my prayer book, and I was praying for you earlier this morning. :)

How are you doing? You have such a sweet, thankful heart. ♥

Lucy68 thank you. I had not been on the site for a while for I have been busy. Yes my husbands say he wants to work on the marriage but his actions are minimal at times. Other times they are wonderful. The mix messages confuses me. He said he fell out of love for me - that hurts for despite all that has happened I still love him ( I dont know why but I do). Yes we are in counseling ( but the counselor somewhat suggest I leave). I have not returned. She thinks my husband should be doing more. I am doing better of letting go and letting God be my guide. All of you'll prayers is helping me - I am for sure -so thanks to all who is praying for me and my family.

Psychomom congratulations. Weddings are beautiful! Enjoy your company and family for it is such a special time and a wonderful celebration! Thanks for thinking and praying for me. I'm taking baby steps and feeling better each day. Oh yes I still have bad days but the crying fits are to a bare minimum. I agree with your previous comment - I did nothing wrong. This was his choice. I strive to live for God, be a good servant, and raise my children in a Godly manner. I pray a lot and hat has been very helpful. Bottom line it rust God. He has never left me before and I know he is not going to start now. Deep down I know he will see me through -I just need to be strong. So keep praying for me - I am so thankful for he prayers. Thanks for the kind word also.

Thanks to all who keep me prayed up. I am still hanging in there. My spirits are better for I am holding onto God's promises and words. I started a journal so this has been helpful also. Just wanted to give you'll an update.
