Some even think, since 99% of their "stuff" is still her at our house that I should ask her to let me know when she'll be coming to get it. When we first met, I vowed to always provide for them and know I feel since I am not contacting her that she will feel I have not only broken my promise, but have totally given up on us and "ready" to move on. I have struggled with to or not to send a simple email letting her and CJ know how I truly feel. They are deeply imbedded in my heart, I realixze the mistakes I made in our marriage and want to fulfil not only the vow I made to them but to God!! I really need to KNOW what God's will is on this issue. Please help Thanks Troy |

Well, you've already found part of God's will - for you to look at your marriage, see where you strayed from God's plan, and then turn to Him and be renewed. Trust God for His support of your marriage. God has no desire to see husbands and wives separate. Prove yourself faithful in the little day to day things, make pleasing God your number one priority, and wait expectantly for God to turn your wife's heart back to you. "Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in him and He will do this" Ps. 37:5 Proving yourself faithful is probably the most important thing you can do right now. You can't say to God that you know where you went wrong in the marriage and you'll do better, and then let little things slide. I was really convicted driving one day, when I was muttering under my breath at the car in front. I really felt God say "it's the little things, Fiona, it's the little things". Ask God to show you everything you could do better, and watch Him move. It will blow your mind. Ask God to talk to your wife for you, to love her for you. Ask Him to make it very clear to you when His acceptable time for initiating contact is. Ask Him to open a door, to create an opportunity. He will be faithful. Heavenly Father, we lift Troy up to you, that you may see your son, and how his heart has changed. Search his heart, Lord, and show him anything that is hindering your will from his life. He loves his wife, Father, and wishes to be reunited with her. Please soften her heart, and turn her heart again toward her husband. Let them both have a new understanding of what a blessing marriage is, and let them reunite with a renewed faith in you, and a humility toward each other. Bless Troy God, and bring forth the desires of his heart. In your wonderful Son's name, Jesus, Amen! Fiona |
