Thanks Beth. I appreciate your words and your prayers. I really do.Things are not THAT bad...they come in spurts. I sense the spiritual turmoil my husband is in and the Lord has made it clear that I can not leave. We separated a couple of times for about week each time. We went through counseling and have healed a lot of wounds. I know that God is at work, I am just getting tired. Thanks so much. Oh, and I have 4 little boys...and they are my blessings. My hsband is a good daddy and does fun things with them...it is just hard b/c it usually always involves buddies and drinking. He is a good provider and I DO love him, it is just hard as we enter puberty to know that he does not share my morals. My boys are saved and I have had the privileged to pray with each of them (well 3, the little one is too young) as they asked Jesus to come into their hearts. I actually met Josh McDowell before and he told me something that always will resonate in my head, "the best thing you can do for those boys is love their daddy!" and that I cling to as the words from the Holy Spirit. Thanks for you support and your willingness to give me your phone number. It means so much to me that there are women out there that will support people they have never met. Thanks so much. I will keep you posted.

Beth, it has been a struggle the last few weeks. I am seeing a lot of anger again, which we dealt with last year. I am encouraged and see the spiritual battle going on, but I am also discouraged as it makes my job harder as a mommy. I am entering the teenage years and need my boys to be encouraged through the Holy Spirit. But I do know that God gave me boys for a reason, but right now, I am tired and frustrated. I find it very hard for me to be nice and loving, but as I learned today in my sermon that we need to love to show who God is...(in a nutshell), but it takes so much work. Thanks for your prayers.
Did your ex ever get saved? Did you remarry?
