In September I found out I was pregnant with our second child and he was very upset as he was not ready or wanting any more children at the time. In late October I found out he had been chatting online with oter women and was trying to hook up with them. I was beside myself because I had caught him chatting on sex sites in May of last year and he swore he would never chat or visit inappropriate websites anymore. Well when I confronted him about the chatting he said he wasn't doing anything wrong because he no longer cared about me. I was crushed and that day we split up. Despite what he did I was still willing to work things out if he was willing to get his act together and go to counseling.... I gave him time to sort through his feelings and didn't bring anything up in regards to us getting back together because I wanted him to know in his heart if he really wanted to be with me.Two weeks after we split up we finally talked about the whole situation. He told me that he had REALLY only started chatting online because he thought I was "snooping" through his things and he wanted to make his point that he didn't approve of that... ( I hadn't snooped through anything. I came across a list of womens user ID's when I was looking for a piece of paper to write him a note to tell him I loved him) Any how he told me that he loved me but he couldn't be with me "at the time" and that only time would tell what the future would hold for our relationship. I was crushed but I clinged to God knowing that He would work all things unto good according to His will. Six weeks have past since we split up.Only his mom and sister know we have seperated and the rest of his family have no clue we are not together or even that I'm pregnant... He has been inviting me places and when we have hung out everything has been great between us but the next day will come and he is very blunt to let me know that we are "friends" and the only reason he calls me is to check up on our son.I am so taken back by all his mixed signals he has been giving me..when we spend time together it seems like he really wants to be with me but at the same time he only gives me enough hope to get to the next day... I am so tired of the run around he's giving me.I don't know how he REALLY feels or what his real intentions are.It's like he wants to have his cake and eat it too. He has been partying alot and I know he has been talking and seeing other women. I love him with all of my heart but I don't know how much more of this I can take from him...I know he loves me but I dont think he's ready for the committment to be the boyfriend and father me and our kids need him to have in order for us to be happy and have a healthy relationship.... It breaks my heart to know I am going through this pregnancy by myself and raising my kids on my own..They are so young and deserve a chance to have the family me and their father never had growing up.Please if anyone has any encouraging words of advice I would greatly appreciate it if you would share it with me as I am at a total loss for what to do anymore other than cling to God!!! Please pray for healing in Mike's and my heart and for God to be with Mike to open his eyes to God's will.Also please pray for all of the negative influences and distractions be taken from Mike's life so that he may see clearly what God has in store for him and our family.Pray for God to reveal His will to me so that I may either move on or hang on to the hope that God is working behind the scenes to bring reconciliation........ Thank you so much for your prayers!I am greatly appreciative.

Dear Stacie,
It is old but it is true.
He won't buy the cow if the milk is free.
He is treating you this way because he can.
Please respect yourself and your dear children.

I am saying this to you speaking from experience (I have an 8 year old son out of wedlock). Yes being a single parent is hard and we have to do the job of both parents. Right now you are a single parent. If you would allow God in He can give you exacty what He has intended. Give it completely over to God and be prepared for what He might do.
Father in the name of Jesus I come to you asking you to move in this situation. Father I ask that you soften both hearts and prepare them to receive your salvation. We know that our blessing starts when we accept you as our Lord and Saviour. Father you know what you have planned for Stacie and Mike. Father I ask that your will be done. Father bless the children that are involved. Keep them Lord. Bless the child that Stacie is carrying Lord. I thank you Lord that your vision far extends what ours does. I thank you for your perfect will Lord. |

Father God, You know these two people's hearts. You know the situation surrounding them. I ask You to shine light on the truth. If these two people and their children do not yet know You as Lord and Saviour in their lives, I ask that You send a witness who will share Your Word and the Good News with them. I ask that they seek You in their lives. Please burden their hearts for Living Water that only Jesus Christ can provide. Please draw them close to You and heal their hurting hearts. Thank You, Lord. Amen. Sharyn |
