Urgent prayer request for guidance

Odie, I wanted to thank you for praying, and your comment. Since yesterday there has been more that has happened. Tom arrived, and my brother-in-law is open to counceling, but my sister is very upset. She called from work, and hung up on me. We talked again later, and she said that my husband wa just using me. That he needed something again, and as soon as it was better for him he would be gone. She again hung up. My sister thinks that I am going to just jump back into this relationship, but she is wrong! I did not sleep with him, as in the past, and when we broke up priorly. I am making no commitments to him. We are only talking.There is more to what has happened, but I do not want to go into more details. My sister said something to me that really hurt me. I've taken into consideration her past, as she has had a prior relationship where she was left over, and over. I am trying not to be to hurt about it, as a result of it, and consider what made her say what she did. Never do I place so much pressure on someone to do what I want, I might give them advice, but that is it! I have took into consideration what my husbands past was (in the past)which I believe caused him to do the things he did. Sometimes I did this too much, and gave him too many chances, and to many excuses for doing what he did. It seems I do this regularly for everyone, but when it comes to me, i'm just expected to put up, and shut up, and do what each person wants me to. Please pray. I want God's will, as my will does not go right! Sincerely, kweig.

Dear Odie, You cannot know the blessing that you have been to me. You were there when I needed an ear, and for that I thank you! ***Before my husband arrived I had asked Pastor if my husband would be allowed to come to his home. (Not to stay the night, but to be there at all.) Pastor told me that I would need to talk to my sister, as he did not want to get into the middle of it. As she is very upset that he is even here to see me. He did not want her to get upset with him. ***This morning I could feel some resistance from Pastor RE: Counceling my husband. He had said that he could really do nothing, if my husband was not willing, and although this is true, it never hurts to try to plant a seed. (This is what I told him.) Just the way he said it, and other things that were said made me believe he had reservations about couceling my husband. He fianlly said to bring him by at 1:00 pm, and they could talk. When we stopped we were running late, and Pastor was just getting ready to go to try to start his van, which had broken down. Both he, and my husband went back, and forth about whether to talk then, or just wait till tomorrow. Then Pastor said something about being able to use an extra set of hands to get it started. As he needed to bang on the gas tank, while trying to start the van. I suggested that my husband go with him, and they could talk on the way, and this is what they did.***I want to praise God for all of this, as I believe this may have broken the ice for both pastor, and him to talk. Please, everyone believe for my husband's salvation, or at the least that a seed is planted, for the later cultivation of his soul. Pray for God's will for us. ____ODIE____ could you please ask some of your friends on this prayer site, to believe with us? Bless you ODIE!


***My husband, and I stopped by the church to drop him off to talk to the pastor.

I wanted to make acorrection RE: The name of the person which I was responding to. Thanks again Odiear3rd

Thanks a lot ryd40. Your prayers bring me comfort. ***Today my husband did talk to Pastor. I think that things went as well as it could, under the circumstances. We are not talking about getting right back together, and I think that is good. We did talk about some of the problems, and he said that he has some things to work out within himself, and with me; as well as I need to do the same. We both agreed that we needed to work on forgiving each other, prior to considering getting back together. ***I was not intimate with him during this visit, and said that I felt that it was sacred. I said I did not want to do this while we are separated, and our future was up in the air. I told him not to feel guilty if he did not want to be with me. I said I'd be fine. I said I'd rather break up now then to live like we had, or just continued to break up over, and over. (Even if it made me sad for awhile.) I also said that I would not get back with him under the circumstances that we were under before. I said things would have to change, and that I wanted to be with a christian, and I wanted to live like a christian. (As I was tired of my life being in chaos, and I felt it would go better if I made these changes.) I also said that if he did not plan to live a christian lifestyle, that this would create problems in our relationship. ***He did say that my brother-in-law talked to him about being saved, and what it meant to be a christian. ***My brother-in-law lived a very different lifestyle about 12 yrs. ago. He got saved. Went to college, and became a pastor. His financial state has changed drastically. This is his testimony, and he uses this to encourage others, to do the same. ***Tomorrow my husband is leaving to go back to IA. Pray that tomorrow goes well, and that he has a safe trip home. I Pray that his heart problems do not cause him to die, until he is for sure saved. (I don't wish death on him. I just want him saved before death.) ***I want to pray now, and please pray with me. Heavenly Father I pray that you used the Pastor to plant a seed, that (if not now) someday begins to take root in fertle soil, and sprouts into a wonderful christian. I pray that even if he is not receptive now, and we do not get back together, I pray that you spare his soul. I pray that you continue to deal with him. I pray that you continue to lead him to be in church, when he gets home. I pray that you guide the pastor, and others to help in his walk with the Lord. I pray that you continue to lead me in what your will is for my life. I pray for guidance in everthing I do, and say. Please open my heart and eye's, to be receptive towards what my husband is saying to me. (But, yet be strong when letting him know that I am not going to be a push over.) I pray that you lead me as to when I need to stand up for myself, and lead me when I need to bend, and compromise. I pray for you will in all things concerning my life! In the name of Jesus, Amen and Amen!
