life giver Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Hi Dory & Nemo, Just wanted to say thank you for your great advise tonight...What a concept...Call Joel!!! I havent thought to say that since after the intensive...But that is exactly what I need to say...THANK YOU BOTH VERY VERY MUCH!... I dont even want to reconcile at this point but he continues to pursue me and after reading the book I thought I was more equipped to answer him...but he really needs to reconnect with J&K or Robin to become accountable to someone other than me! Thank you again, In His Love,Lifegiver Edited August 2, 2011 by life giver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dory Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 You are welcome. You have a tough row to hoe, but you are in a good position phyically and mentally and spiritually to help God affect positive change in his heart. We would ONLY want you reconciled to a CHANGED man, no tot he Medicman we once knew. We do NOT want you ging back to Egypt. Christ came to bring so much more to those who LOVE him.

JoelandKathy Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Yeppers.. tell 'em to call us if he wants to get moving forward again. We love marriage restorations. We don't like women getting abused.. and that is what has happened to you.. but hope springs eternal. We would love to hear from him! What a journey it has been!

dory Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Nemo has been on a fairly good trek for a few days. (And he enjoys the perks of that even though it isn't something often discussed on an open forum) He is fairly stressed out about work but isn't bringing too much of that stress home - which is a really good thing. There isn't alot of time together right now, but when we do touch base, his kisses and hugs have been more emotive as of late. For me, "quality" can cover for a lack of quantity when circumstances dictate as they do right now. He IS a good man of God, who, just forgets that every once in a while.. Love you Honey! Let's keep it going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryJane Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I caught this: Nemo has been on a fairly good trek for a few days.

Cmarie & H.E.R.O. Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 For me, "quality" can cover for a lack of quantity when circumstances dictate as they do right now. I totally agree with this, nicely put! Cmarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dory Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Still having bumps. Tired of FEELING melancholy. Tired of LIVING with a phlegmatic-melancholy. Taking a break from marriage stuff. Got beautiful kids to love on. Saw this though it might be worth posting ... Dying to Self When you are forgotten, or neglected, or purposely set at naught and you don’t sting and hurt with the insult, but your heart is happy being counted worthy to suffer for Messiah . . . that is DYING TO SELF. When your good is evil spoken of, and when your wishes are crossed, or your advice disregarded, or your opinion ridiculed, and you refuse to let anger rise in your heart, or even defend yourself, but you take it all in patient, loving silence . . . that is DYING TO SELF. When you lovingly and patiently bear any disorder, or irregularity, or annoyance; when you stand face-to-face with waste, folly, extravagance, spiritual insensibility, and you endure it as Yahushua endured . . . that is DYING TO SELF. When you are content with any food, any offering, any climate, any society, any raiment, any interruption by the will of Yahuweh . . . that is DYING TO SELF. When you never care to refer to yourself in conversation, or to record your own good words, or to itch after commendations, and when you can truly love to be unknown . . . that is DYING TO SELF. When you can see your brother prosper and have his needs met, and you can honestly rejoice with him in spirit and feel no envy, or question Yahuweh while your own needs are far greater and in desperate circumstances . . . that is DYING TO SELF. When you can receive correction and reproof from one of less stature than yourself, and can humbly submit inwardly as well as outwardly, finding no rebellion or resentment rising up within your heart . . . that is DYING TO SELF. In these last days, the Spirit would bring us to the cross, that death would bring forth resurrection:That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. (Philippians 3:10-11)ARE YOU DEAD YET? - Author Unknown Time to die to self - especially for kids - and let Nemo figure out the marriage stuff. I am so tired of focusing on my marriage. I do feel like I am becoming a shell of a woman. Used here, discarded there, ignored over here. Not happy with my present feelings but I "should be satisfied" in order to DIE TO SELF. right?

MaryJane Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Oh, dear. I'm sorry. Maybe you need to get on a conference call... I know, it's WEARING! Maybe a break won't hurt anyway. Time to die to self - especially for kids - and let Nemo figure out the marriage stuff. Probably that IS the answer for now. Shut down, for awhile, maybe?

dory Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Just saw TWO GREAT movies in the last 5 days! BOTH ARE AWESOME and foundational to this teaching here. Moreover, foundational to God's word. Seven Days in Utopia came out Sept 2nd and will likely fade fast because of its Christian underpinnings. So GO FAST to see it if you haven't already! Robert Duvall does a fantastic job taking a young athlete under his wing and helping him understand manhood. Other very good role models - even for helpmeets - are in this movie. also. . . Courageous comes out Sept 30th. We got to see a sneak preview of it last night. This movie is just plain unbashedly honest. The makers of this movie get a STANDING OVATION from us for having the courage to put a movie out there with this much humor, action, peril and TRUTH! MEN and WOMEN alike, go see BOTH of them if you can! Click on links above for short preview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJane Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hooray! Hope to find both of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelandKathy Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Really looking forward to Courageous! That is the same movie makers as Facing the Giants and Fireproof.. Missed Utopia.. need to see if it is any other area theaters.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
