If you read my earlier post (My sons and I), I am fighting to remain positive. My ex wife hasn't called me yet (since last monday) and that tells me that she isn't going to be home for this weekend's visitation either. And with next week being our "off" weekend, with no visitation, I potentially won't see my sons again for 3 more weeks. I have been fighting this problem for 5 years now, since we were divorced. I have tried to understand what The Lord wants me to learn from all this and today I am struggling to maintain composure. It makes work a little difficult to deal with too. I realize that all the other posts here are dealing with more important issues, (I mean that,truly). I just needed to place my angst here amongst all you prayer warriers. Anyways, back to work.......

Forever trusting in the Lord,
Take heed to do His will;
So shalt thou dwell within the land,
And He thy needs shall fill.

Delight thee in the Lord, and He
Will grant thy heart’s request;
To Him commit thy way in faith,
And thus thou shalt be blest.

And He shall make Thy righteousness
Shine brightly as the light,
And as the burning noonday sun
Thy judgment shall be bright.

Rest in the Lord with quiet trust,
Wait patiently for Him;
Though wickedness triumphant seem,
Let not thy faith grow dim
Paraphrase of Psalm 37

********
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5,6)
********

Trust in the Lord for what burdens your heart for he knows the desires of your heart. Lord I pray that Erics x wife will come fully into understanding of the boys needs for a father as well as the fathers needs as a father. Lord rest his heart and is mind and find refuse in your comforting spirit.

*******

I am praying for you.

Eric, I still believe in God's good plan for you and your sons. He will make a way for you all to be a family. Trust in Him, and not the situation. God is good and He rewards the faithful. I am and will continue to be praying for you and your precious sons.



Father, I just lift Eric and his sons before You. It is my prayer that today, especially today, You will wrap Eric up in Your unfailing peace. Let him know that You indeed have a good plan for all of this and that even right now, You are preparing a way for him and his children to reunite. Bless each one and keep them all safe in Your arms, I pray. Amen

Dear Eric,

Been there done a whole lot of that! My husband had so many problems with his ex-wife and all her excuses to not let him see his boys. When we married 2 of them were living with him! The other 2 were with her, but still she used those kids to get back at my husband even though she divorced him. Anyway that was 10 years ago and all the while my husband kept in contact through phone calls, dinner dates with the boys, etc. Just to make sure those boy knew how much he loved them. After all that the youngest 17 is now living with us also, and he is very close to the older boys, especially the ones she tried the hardest to keep from him. Being a ex-wife myself I was the worst! I "played the game" also using my children to get back at my ex. I finally woke up and realized how hurtful to the children I was being. Now things are better. Time helps, don't give up you are their father and you matter! Always love them and they will know it!

I just recieved an email today from my older son's principal confirming that he is not in school this week, that they have been told he is on vacation. Which means she lied to me about her "family emergency", i won't get to see my sons this weekend, adn with mother's day being next weekend, i won't see them then either. She will also tell them to lie to me about these two weeks cuz she's been complaining about money (not nuff even though i pay her 400 a week in child support for two kids). God help me!

Your issues are very important to God, to You, and all of us. We're all sort of on the same journey. Just hang in there, we'll be praying for Your family, and you.

I know how you feel to need someone to talk to, and give you a little hope. I know how you feel that your hopes may not be as important. But I still have some faith that whether you're losing your hair or losing your entire family, It is important to me and to God that all of your dreams will come true. I know how you feel to want to scream at someone to heal every situation in your life. Do it! It does seem odd. But go ahead. Scream to satan to go back to hell where he belongs and leave your sons, you, and your ex-wife alone forever in the name of JESUS! Then shout to the Lord for your entire familiy's peace and joy. And thank Him in advance and in faith that it is done! I WILL pray for you and your family! This is a majorly important issue! Please don't give up.

well, i have jumped to conclusions here. At least in regards to my sons being gone agian this weekend. I called my ex last night to confirm that i would be picking up my sons at the regular time today becuase she didn't call me like she said she would (assuming that this would generate a call from her comfirming they were still in FLA). She returned the call and talked to my step-son saying that they are home and the boys would be ready for visitation today! After 5+ years of being lied to *after* the divorce (not to mention while we were married), i only assumed the worst. I feel bad that i believed what i did. I did my best to leave it to God. I prayed everyday and i still in the end gave up hope. Thank you all for your prayers and kind words. I' ve been asking for God's forgiveness since last night for my failing faith.
I know i can only get better at this, so i keep on trying.

Eric
