Hi Nina,
I first of thank you for the valuable advice you gave me... I'm doing much better now... I give him his space... I'm more independent than before... and I do not make calls to husband for every little thing... and I dont disturb him while he is at his work with my phone calls... He does not yell n shout at me much like before( though he does sometimes...) He has reduced watching pron ( though not stopped) ....
these are my updates...
Thank you for all your prayers,Sis... I need them always...
In God's name...Amen.
priya.

The LORD turned my husband's heart to me fully.

I found out what had made him so confused. He had heard about 7 years ago from the LORD that a certain woman was God's perfect will for him and this knowledge had been troubling him for all these years as he did not want to miss the LORD. So the enemy was taking this up again, making him distraught and thinking whether he could have married me because he was attracted to me and because it was some plot of the enemy who was giving us both all the wrong confirmations and wanted to destroy our lives.
There was a certain pastor with whom my husband was attached then and who confirmed that my husband had heard from the LORD that this lady was the right one for him...but who also told him then that he saw in spirit that due to heavy warfare this may not happen nevertheless...and in this case the LORD was bringing a new one. And when my husband met me he was sure after all the confirmation we got after much seeking, that I was the new one. The perfect will of God.

Then he listened to what the enemy spoke and suggested, and became doubtful.
But the LORD intervened and spoke up. And my husband is loving me today even stronger than ever. He is kind and tender and loving to me. The LORD moved and gave him for free a mobile house to live at. So he can proceed with his work. And make the money he needs.

The LORD touched the heart of his father who wants to help him send my clothes from there to me. And Christmas presents both for me and my daughter.
And my husband is working hard, at getting his business established. And he reckons with all my needs.

The LORD has been driving him home the foundational revelations. Like that we can never be perfect out of our own righteousness. He was always trying to do that and expected all the others be and perform perfect as well, and of course it only produced frustration.

My husband has repented of all things, and then the enemy suggested him that I was hating him, but I have long ago forgiven and forgotten all.

Hello my friends,
Things continue to improve for Robin & I.We've had a few discussions about things & it will probably take awhile but we're gonna make it.We have some issues to work through but I can feel God with us & I can actually see His work being done in Robin.
Since Blaine passed away she hasn't been the same & I feel as soon as the holidays pass we will be able to focus on "us" much more.I'm still sleeping in a separate bedroom but that will soon change as well.I just want to be close to her again & feel her breathe.These last 3 months have been wonderful & we have become very close agian.....not like we were.....but it's coming & I can't say enough "thank you's " to each of you for the prayers.Please continue to pray that things keep improving (hopefully fast) & know that I am praying for all of you as well.
Thank you God for all you've done not only for me but my family as well.I owe everything to you Father & you have my word that my testimony will not go unheard. I love Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rob

Hello friends,
I may have spoken too soon.All at once things just seemed to have stopped.I'm wanting more & more & Robin just isn't responding.She's still "torn" is the answer I get.I honestly don't know if I can hang on anymore.It has gotten to the point where I feel like I'm going to explode in anger if something doesn't happen ASAP. Last night I just broke down in tears because I've been standing so long & I can't stand anymore.How long does God want me to do this? When is enough....enough? I'm miserable if she stays becuse I get no affection & I'm miserable if she leaves because I love her so much.
If something doesn't happen tonight when I make an advance,do I ask her to leave.C'mon,it's 2 years for me without any sexual contact with her & I'm literally going out of my mind.She's my wife & I can't touch her? What's the deal?!?!?!?
Please,please help me.I don't know what to do.I've prayed about this over & over & I'm not getting a clear message.Should I stay with her or let her go? God please answer my prayer & give me my marriage back.What have I been doing wrong Father? Tell me please!!!! I feel dead inside God & I need You & Robin both.Please God,please........................................ .......................

I have been feeling very discouraged as my husband called one night and i told him about some medical problems I am having,. He seemed concerned and said he would call two days later and see what the doctor said.
He didn't call and I took that to mean he didn't care.
Our son is now having medical problems but my husband never talks to me and I made a choice to not call unless I had specific information.
Anyway he called tonight to talk to the kids, the first time in a while. I had a reason to call him after the kids talked to him, knowing his phone was turned off and I could just leave a message. I told him that I was very disapointed and feeling hurt that he hadn't called when he said he would and to call tomorow to find out what the doctor said about our son.
He called not five minutes later to find out about our son and asked about my health.
Thank you God for that call, I realized I had set myself up for quite a potential hurt after I did that and God came through.

my husband said he would call the next night at six to find out about our sonds doctor appointment. He didn't call at six but at 8:45 when I was at a meeting. He told our daughter he would call last night but he didn't. That is OK I guess I have a peace that God is working this out without my help.

Morning everyone.

Just wanted to let you know that things have gotten even harder. Traci has not gone with me to talk to the counselor the past 2-times. If you have been following, her mother has a major pull on Traci. Well when I came home yesterday she said her mother and sister were coming up to go shopping and that it really didn't matter if she missed a few time's. Thw world would not stop. Please pray that she will come with me soon and give me the strength to indure all of this hardship. I know, turn about is fair play but nothing like this.

Thanks again.
Jeff

Well, my wife Traci & I went to the counceler yesterday. It was good and bad. She is still very anger and doesn't trust that I have changed. She even lied to the counceler. I guess I did as well, I told her I havn't been talking to anybody but, I have been asking her close friends who believ in marriage to give her a call to try and helper see another side of things. Right now all se does is talk to people who are getting or have gotten a divorice. This is truly killing me. I know I have to have FAITH. Please continue to pray for us! Help me to pray and ask GOD to comfort her soul and her Heart. Help release her of the anger and fear of trusting me. Help her to see that GOD is in my life and leading me and help her to see it in me. Help her to give me another chance to prove myself to her.

PLEASE PRAY AND HELP

Thanks, Jeff

Pray for me my husband is doing some really strange stuff. Am trying not to lose hope and faith. But I can not understand his motives we have been through alot and it will be hard for me trust him if he continue. He keep saying the same things over and over you can't trust someone if they don't change their ways. He is in denail and can't see what he is doing wrong.

Posted by: jpajerski

Well, received a letter address to my wife the other day. She has filed for divorce. I don't know what to do. I feel so out of it. All I want is for this to stop. She tells me she is unhappy and for some reason, both the counselor and myself think that she can just wave a magic wand and all her hurt feelings will be gone. She say's that she see the major change in me and that is great. However, she said that since she has been unhappy for the past 6-years that it doesn't make a difference. I told her that she is and has always been first in my life for everything and now that we have the kids, we need to try and work this out. I know it will take time but we need to try.

Please keep praying hard for us! This needs to work out! she is everything to me! We need to heal her heart and rid her of these feelings.

Thanks, JEFF

Well, my husband told me that God has commanded him to close that door. And shut me out, for I turned to men and asked them for advice. He still has feelings for me, but he is sure he needs to do so, or he shall never see the fruition of the vision planted to his heart. Seems he sends the divorce papers at the time when I shall turn 40.

I am here with questions....hoping the LORD will let me see the answers one good day...

Posted by: Tiina

Just wanted to encourage all the rest in faith, believing against every hope. Do not give up.

Well, my update follows....
All the above happened indeed and somehow the spiritual warfare attainted such intensity that my husband had started believing all kinds of lies. To mention a few, then - he soundly held to his conviction that I was a high class witch....today he can just laugh at the ridiculous idea....the enemy was somehow able to insert into his mind....for nothing can be any further from the truth than that, good that the enemy went this far, for this clearly indicated who was the one trying to harm and destroy and cause havoc, it definitely was not of God.

This was a monumental week.
Well, at first I turned 40 last Monday, then on Tue my husband called me and explained for a few hours why he needed to divorce me and gave me the specific instructions to be followed.

On Thursday eve he had sent me 2 similar e-mails, just to make it sure that I was going to get it. It read, Dear T. please do not wait, I am not going to send the divorce papers...and at the end, they cost too much. Your....

Well, I got into my heart, when thinking over our last phone call, to write my husband and tell him that I was happy to accept his proposition to remain his best friend...but I added that I was not too sure whether I was strong enough to do it, especially if he was going to be with some other, but I did address also a few things I had seen him holding on to, but totally wrong, concerning me. About my ministry and how the LORD had called me and the things to follow...and then I also touched these couple of things I saw him believing for some strange reason...

The next morning I felt led to tell him while in messenger one sentence....I do understand you fully....
And I expected no return as it had happened for months by now...
But he did respond....and asked about me....and then at the end of the conversation he told he had read 1/ of my letter and wanted to start over with me in a right way from the beginning again. ( But he added that he wanted to inquire that of God, so he seemed sure, but that did not tell me still was he really intending to do so, or not ).

The next morning he addressed me already by himself and by that time he was dead sure. And through some unexplainable miracle the LORD had suddenly turned his thoughts and revealed him the truth about me. And he understood that he had been believing some terrible lies...and he was sincere and apologetic...and totally willing to do everything the right way.

And I do have the witness in my heart that this time it is going to happen indeed.

Well, what can I tell ?
The LORD gave me a word about resurrection.
And HE confirmed it again, by planting into my heart a word concerning the women regaining their dead ( men ) through resurrection ( Hebrews 11:35 ).
HE really did it. On a day when the enemy would have wanted to force me into signing a divorce, the LORD saw it good to let HIS glorious light shine on my husband's heart and reveal all that was not of light.

What can I say ?

Isn't HE wonderful ?

Posted by: Tiina

It is a real thing now. My husband came to the point where he was committed to me and now the LORD has been talking to him and given him exact instructions how to proceed...and he is going to move to Florida in a week...he has got a good job there....when the LORD spoke he worked nonstop for 2 days and 2 nights...and got many offers all over the States...but the LORd, he felt, led him to Florida...and that now coincides also with what the LORD told me in Orlando, FL in 92, when HE told me...the clearest I have ever heard HIM...My dear beloved daughter...I shall take you back here and from here to many countries and nations of the world....as to ministry...
my husband cut every connection with the past, and has been totally dedicated to our life...together....it is a true thing. And the LORD really did it.

I am sad because some long time friends of mine separated this morning, I have asked for your prayers for them, I am concerned, because it is a situation where they know to turn to God and even say it, but, put it off, and they are surrounded by people who may be well intentioned, but lack God in their life, I am deeply concerned, I am angry, I am hurt, I am confused and I am scared for them, They are Samuel and Marion Torres, this came so suddenly and blind sided Mrs. Torres, Samuel says he don't know what he wants. This it is a heart breaking thing, please pray for them and please pray for me Thomas Wagner. Thank you. May God Bless You All, In Jesus Amen!

Posted by: SOG4ME

Well I talked to Marion Today she is in tears it is getting to her, You see I tried to talk to her the days prior, she is holding on to a lot of anger, she wants him to hurt, to teach him a lesson, all I can do and ask You all to do is pray that all of them have their eyes open to their true nature and that God would send Godly sorrow and repentance and that God would send also healing and open eyes and hearts to see that un forgiveness and teaching lessons is not their area, that it needs to be left up to God to deal out punishment, I am concerned she will take it to far or say to much and he will just say forget it, she is stubborn and I pray for God to wake her up before it is to late. In Jesus Name, I appreciate Your Prayers In This Area, Amen!

Posted by: SOG4ME

As You all know many request concerning the Torres family of late, well things are starting to look better, they are talking, but, they agree that they love each other just not "In Love" with one another, so they are going to be friends and take things slow, I praise God that they are talking, I am saddened about the "Friends" and not "In Love" wording, But God can bring victory! They both now say they do not know what they want, My concern the enemy will get to them and convince them that divorce is the answer for the better life, I hear it. But, I stand firm that GOD HATES DIVORCE and that the better life will be only in Jesus, I try to encourage but I am told that at this time she has little or no faith, she mainly said no faith. But I will not stop trusting for God to create in this Marriage the Love and Hope needed, Please pray for them to have Hope and that God will draw them to Him then to one another. Oh and Friday Samuel will be taking Yvonne and JK to JK's Doctors appointment which is a good 1 1/2 hr drive one way if not 2 hours, Please pray that God does a miracle at this time and that the "Love" is discovered and that they realize that they are "In Love" please also pray for their safe trip and return home, also pray that God will silence all "wrong" advice they are given, I sent them both letters to encourage them and Yvonne Got hers, but appears that Sam's letter got intercepted before he could get it, Please also pray that anyone trying to destroy or stand in the way of this family being reconciled and blessed with awesome Love to be put aside or revealed for their wrong desire and thus they can be dealt with, if anyone is operating in this frame of mind no matter of much good they feel they are doing. In Jesus Name, Amen!

I almost Forgot!!!
An Area I need to focus on... Tonight I spoke to her and she said something to me, She said "Since Tracy Died Our Marriage has not been the same" Now for a background, Tracy lived only about 3 months, it was their baby boy, he died of some disease, it still breaks her heart to this day, I think he would have been 9 ish or so about now, maybe 10 or more, I don't know. But here is the catch, You know why it has changed their marriage, O Lord Heal Her, My Friends I told her this once She shared that above with me, I told her that she still blames herself for his death and that it is tearing up her life.

You see she had dental work before she knew she was pregnant, she took some pain killers and I think antibiotics, I feel that this had nothing to do with it, If I remember right the disease was where part of his brain didn't develop or he was missing a gene or something, I don't know, But I do know I have told her it wasn't her fault, I called a pharmacist about the pain killers and they said, if I remember correctly, that she would have to had taken a load of them, I cant remember because it has been a long time ago, But to this day she still holds that Guilt! I didn't tell her but maybe, just maybe, since she said the marriage hasn't been the same since, then maybe her guilt is doing more damage than either one of us has imagined, I told her that it wasn't her fault, but she still will not let go, it still brings her to tears, Pray for Her deliverance... and then I ask this, should I share that with her husband? if I do what if the devil uses him to place more guilt, you see neither one of them seams to be to close to God right now, Ok now I am confused and concerned and oh my.....

Posted by: SOG4ME

Well it appears that Samuel and his friend lied, and when everything appeared better the bottom dropped out, a friend of Marion's overheard something and told Marion and now it appears that Samuel and His friend were at a women's house. I am at a loss, ,I have ministered to Marion and she was finally touched and ready to fight for her marriage, and she lost hope and after talking and praying she decided to fight again, and this was all last night and early am today. Now this crud and it broke her, my concern has now turned to her health and mental state, I can't understand why, and why did it have to happen when she finally decided to trust God, it was like the worse blow to anyone's faith after a hard battle and see the victory and people change than something like this, in all honesty I don't know that she will ever trust or have faith again, and for that fact my faith took a blow, I love these people and now i just don't know, I am devastated and I know Marion is devastated, just pray as God leads you all, I want to give up myself, I just do not understand, where is the mighty God that Loves us? O God WHY???

Posted by: SOG4ME

Please even after you read this, please keep Marion "Yvonne" Torres In Your Prayers that she will have peace and at the same time she will see God at work, In Jesus Name, Amen!

Well I took flack for so many prayer request, even heard people question why I requested so much prayer before anything happen, Well I will not Doubt anymore! Let it be known this day, GOD IS AWSOUME!

Samuel and Marion Yvonne Torres, through all that You all know about, and through some just discovered today in regards to something that should never occur in a marriage involving someone other than a spouse, through it all, God would not let me give up! He confirmed in me when I prayed a prayer I have for their marriage, and I spoke to the mountain to be removed and IT WAS!!! (thanks Pastor Brown, I was inspired by something I found at Your church) My Glorious God I Love and Praise You, We Have Victory!

Samuel will be returning Home around Friday, they will be moving as a family away from the gates of hell in Kirbyville Texas, They are going to work on their marriage and Yvonne Knows and agrees that they need GOD at the center of their Marriage! Hallelujah Glory Be To God Amen!!!

Thank You Jesus, though the situation everyone was saying it was over and divorce was a done thing, I even wanted to give up, but that fire arose and God prevailed! and when all hope seamed loss, GOD STEPPED ON THE SCENE and Restoration is taking place! Hallelujah Amen!

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers, a lot of doubts and fears and suspicions are bound to rise, but God will be victor in this all and His Name will be Glorified!

If Your Marriage seams destroyed and over and finished, take Heart, God raises people from the dead and He will Raise Your Marriage From The DEAD! Hallelujah Amen!

Brother T

Praise The Lord! Hallelujah Amen!

PS Thank You To all those who stood for this family in prayer, please keep them before God, the victory draws nigh! Hallelujah Thank You Jesus and Lord please bless all Your children who joined me in prayer and encouragement, Glory Be To Our Living God Hallelujah Amen! Buddha, Mohammad, and no one else did this, But God.

Hi to all,

Just want to say it's been a week since Riaan returned home and praise the Lord, it has been going very well. Riaan is still a bit distant at times, but God is there in our house and my children are blooming and happy and praying to the Lord every night, thanking Him for bringing their Daddy home. I thank all of you for your prayers and support. We do need some more though, to reach the full restoration of our marriage. Please pray for Riaan to trust and belief again. To move forward and not to stay in the past in his thoughts and mind. I know it will take time, but I stay close to the Lord and pray for Him to lead me to be the Godly woman, wife and mother He want me to be. I can't stop thanking God for bringing Riaan home, plse keep walking by faith and not sight. God is already working on each and every situation / seperation! On the Monday I said, thats it!!!! I'm going to just let it go and let God, I'm ready to let Riaan be and just pray and stand for my marriage without constant contact with Riaan. The next day he moved back home. We were stunned, but very grateful and determined.

I'll keep you in my prayers, even if God restore just one marriage every day, that is a miracle to shout and dance about. Glory to God and I will continue to talk to to anyone and everyone about the miracle He has done in my life, Riaan's life, for my family!!!!!

Keep believing, keep standing.... He has called you to this mission.

Your sister in the Lord

I can't stop thanking God for bringing Riaan home, plse keep walking by faith and not sight. God is already working on each and every situation / seperation! On the Monday I said, thats it!!!! I'm going to just let it go and let God, I'm ready to let Riaan be and just pray and stand for my marriage without constant contact with Riaan. The next day he moved back home. We were stunned, but very grateful and determined.

I'll keep you in my prayers, even if God restore just one marriage every day, that is a miracle to shout and dance about. Glory to God and I will continue to talk to to anyone and everyone about the miracle He has done in my life, Riaan's life, for my family!!!!!

Keep believing, keep standing.... He has called you to this mission.

Your sister in the Lord
Petro

Father, I praise You for bringing this husband home back to his family. Hallelujah!

Father, I continue to offer up prayers of a full and complete reconcilation. I pray for Your hand to continue to be upon this marriage, removing all past hurts of both husband and wife. I pray for repentance of both and for forward movement within their relationship. I pray for renewed love and healing, positive dialogue between them both. Be with the children, I pray. Amen

Was it only a week ago that I was saying all is going well? Riaan went to Michelle's (other woman) place on Saturday to get the last of his belongings, when he returned he was depressed and on Sunday night he told me he wants to go back to her, he is not happy with me and the kids, he feels he does not belong with us any more....... He does not love me, but her.... He is still with us, but he is very quiet and brooding. No contact between us, but for the necessary and no communication. He is sleeping whenever he gets home and work long hrs...please help us with prayers to get through this! it's like taking 2 steps forward and 5 back. I stay on my knees and speak to God throughout the day and night. I'm scared, plse help me.

I just wanted to update you all and thanks for your prayers and please do not stop praying. The update is that she left this evening. She will not go and talk to anyone with me. I even told her that we could go to anyone that she felt comfortable with family, preacher, or a total third party that did not know either one of us and none of her family. So please keep praying.

We still need lots of prayer for our marriage. My husband ,Don,is packing to leave. I am is so much emotional and spiritual pain that sometimes I can't stand it. It is hard to watch him pack. I pray that he will have complete forgiveness for me and have the love that he once had. I am trying to give it all to God and let him go, but I don't know how. Letting go hurts so much. I pray that God will bring him back to him, more than ever befor. He has stopped going to church and stopped reading his bible. He isn't talking to anyone for help. I continue to go to church and I am in the word daily. I do trust God and I believe that God can do all things. I pray for complete restoration of our marriage and Don's walk with the Lord.

Hi. Just wanted to drop a quick note to say thanks for the prayers. My husband, Dave, is still not living here at home with our children and I & he still needs salvation. We did have a good Christmas. The other woman, "Dar", called me Thursday 1/12/06 and stated to me that they are not doing anything and have decided to wait until her divorce and our divorce is final before they advance their relationship. Dave has not filed yet. Dave is still telling me that nothing's going on and that he has no interest in being with anyone,that him & "Dar" are just friends. She also told me that he bought her a cell phone and put her on his calling plan so that he "can get ahold of her whenever he needs to"(i know this to be fact). I'm still standing on God's Word and faith that my marriage and family will be restored. God has also opened some doors for me- I am going back to school for Phlebotomy Technician. The course starts May '06. I have career testing on Jan. 23rd. Depending on how well I test will determine my placement on the list for the class I would like to be registered for. I have also been led to some programs that may pay all or a part of the schooling. YEAH!!! Keep us in your prayers, please. I really do appreciate you all. Thank you. Jen

ms piz, Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I really needed that. I talked to Dave on the phone tonight. I asked if he would like to come here to the house for dinner tomorrow and he accepted(WOW). Also, I've been praying for the Lord to speak thru me and use me to "speak" to Dave. This happened tonight on the phone. I witnessed to him from the bible that God does not like adultery or divorce. He said "tell me what it says". I asked God out loud to show me the scripture and he did. I turned right to Matthew and read from it . Dave actually listened. He tried to turn the words around at first, but then listened in silence until I was finished. In the past anytime I have tried to do this he has hung up on me, rushed off the phone, or just plain told me to shut up and cussed me. I'm so happy that God used me like that. I do believe we will be restored. I'm just having trouble with the "waiting on the Lord" part. It has been since August '04 that he left here. Thank you , and thanks to everyone. Please keep us in your prayers. Dave needs salvation, I need strength, and our kids need protection. God bless! Jen

Hi. Another update....My career testing went well. I have been accepted into the program. YEAH!!!!
Dave and I are talking a lil more. He was here the other day and towards the end of the evening as he was getting ready to leave he said, "I'm thinking about coming home". I couldn't believe my ears. Please keep praying. I thank all of you. We have seen each other several times since and it has been good. He gives me hugs and kisses. Thank you all.

Hello all.

Some of you will remember me from a couple of years ago (did not realise that it had been that long) when I was asking for marriage restoration prayers. Owen my Husband had left me to be with his first girlfriend, a woman that he met on a class reunion web site. Here is a little update of what happened in the missing two years.

I reached a point where I no longer felt that I wished to stand for the marriage to be restored. This was not the first time that Owen had cheated and I knew that two years down the line I would be in the same mess that I was in at the time. For me it was time to let go.

It was a painful and unbelievably hard decision to make, but for me letting Owen go was the right one. I felt terrible about quitting the stand, like I had let down all of the people who I stood next to praying for marriage restoration. This was part of the reason that I stayed away from Annointed.

Well, time marches on and a little over a year ago I met a wonderful man by the name of Mark and we are to be married in 2007. I am the most blessed person in the whole wide world for being with Mark.

So whilst life may not turned out exactly the way that you would like it to, God is in control and with him, there is always a happy ending.

Owen married the woman that he left me for. I wish them a blessed life together.

Much love

O dear gracious God, please reconcile this marriage once and for all. Please soften Don's heart and bring him back to his wife. I please with you ever so desperately that you would have mercy on this marriage.

Your sister in Christ

Lord, in your great mercy, please restore this marriage. Have Dave cut all ties with Dar once and for all and come back to his wife. I ask of thee in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Lord, please keep moving in this marriage. I also ask that you would have Dave accept Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. Help him to get to know Christ and therefore how to be towards his wife. I ask of thee in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

My husband and I had our first marriage session today, he said that he doesn't know if he can get over his hurt and baggage. He wants to give himself time to see if he can forgive me and then if he wants to reconcile. If he had to make the decision today he would divorce. I never realized how much I hurt him. I wasn't unfaithful. He said he couldn't watch me slowly kill myself anymore (weight gain, depression, etc.). Please pray for God to heal his heart and open it back up to us. I'm in a very low place right now.

Jason was miraculously home all week with the children and I. (I have been praying for reconciliation).Thank you so much for your prayers...He had ended it with the young girl and returned home all week.
Tonight he was to be home by 7pm to watch the kids while I work the night shift at the hospital. I spoke with him at 6 and he said he was coming.It is now 12:30 am and still no word from Jason.He never arrived at the home to watch the children, nor has he answered the phone to me or our kids.I just put a call into the police department he works for,and left a message for them to please call me. I know Jason will be furious,but we are now very worried about his well being. I spoke to the 21 year old girl he has been involved with,and she doesn't know where he is,but said he was still trying all week to move back in with her. She said he calls me nasty names still and states that he hates me, can't stand me, etc...I am shocked because I really thought we were having a breakthrough with Jason.He has been helping me move and been very good to the kids this week. I am thinking he has a drinking problem now,based on some things I saw this week.That is why I am concerned about his safety when he has not called home all this time to say where he is.PLEASE pray he will come to repentence and also choose to love his family the way God intended. The children are devastated tonight, and I am scared Jason will be very angry that I called his work. Thank you so much for praying. God bless you. ~Suzanne
