5/14 on my way to the lord!!

Hello My bretheren,

I must take a moment to Testify for our lord, Jesus Christ.

Yesterday me and my wife had the worst (and possibly best) argument of our relationship thus far. Ir began with a discussion on Homosexuality. She asked me "why would it be a sin if God created you that way" at which point I tried to explain to her that God would not make us that way, and it is a mind trick of the devil to even think that you were "created or Destined" to be gay. DOnt get me wrong, the lord taught to love ALL, and to judge NONE so I am not trying to bag on gay people, I was simply trying to share with my wife the TRUTH which is in the word of God. My wife felt like I was judging her (she has Bi tendencies) and I explained that it was not a judgement, we are all sinful, and no sin is beyond repentance through the lord. At which point she said she WILL NOT Repent and I can Kiss her A$$, at this point I tried to explain to her that I w as not asking her to repent or judging her but she just didnt want to hear me. While going through this fight there were a few instances where I almost lost my temper, but I could feel the lord smiling down on me and I remained calm. We then left to visit her amily, with her still fuming. She denied our marriage while fighting with me, and I removed my wedding ring. At this point if I did not have the lord my heart would have been crushed, and I would have spun into depression. But the Good lord held my heart still and filled i to the brim with peace. Thats all I could feel was an overwhelming sense of peace exuding from the lord. We didnt speak much for the rest of the day until we were alone with her mother. Her mother is studying to be a pastor, and is very strong in the faith. SHe had us sit and talk it out. She explained to Trisha that the verbal abuse makes me not want to talk to her. It finally got throughto her, and we both said many things that needed to be said. She has been very loving ot me ever since. In that moment I realized why the lord kept me at peace earlier that day, he was already planning on taking care of the problem before the day was done. Despite the fact that I beleived our relationship was over, he knew better and he urged calm upon me.

Thank you lord! You are so Great.

And in a way he has prepared me for step 5 of this path because I no longer have any bad mojo between me and my wife and I can focus on the weeds in my garden which are my follies, andclear away the other problems which have been overshadowed for so Long.

Our lord is SOOOO GOOD!!

I love you all, Bretheren.

And I smile. My friend, you have just seen God move in a powerful way in your marriage. You know why He was able to do this? Because you trusted in Him, and hand your wife over to Him. God was then able to reach out to your wife through her own mother, and sounds like He has found glory in doing so.

Keep working on yourself cloud. You've still got some growing to do, and all for making yourself better for God and your wife.

luv ya
