Thank you for sharing from your he...Dearest Chris,<br /><br />Thank you for sharing from your heart. Isn't it amazing how God will show us what is needed? We must simply (but not necessarily easily) follow His instructions. <br /><br />One of the wonderful things I saw when reading is that you turned to the answers God provides in His Word. There are so many people that wouldn't have even thought to look there. Isn't it great to know Him personally?<br /><br />I am also trying to focus on the things that are pure and honest and lovely... When I do that, it really keeps me focused on the positive...and not on the things of the world that are bothering me and interfering in my time with Him and with the people in my life. You are a great example of a Christian to know to look toward Him in all times.<br /><br />I am home all of the time, unless I am at the doctors, pretty much. So, when Dave comes home, I do not stop talking...I have been almost silent all day. This exhausts him, and doesn't give him a chance to share about what is on his heart. It is the one area of contention between us...I feel I even need to get my word in so much--that I interrupt him...that makes things so much worse. So, I too am practicing to listen, not solve the problem...when I was listening, I learned that sometimes it can dis-empower him, when I jump to problem solving right away.<br /><br />Thank you for speaking so boldly and honestly. I pray for you and your family. That you and your husband will continue to grow as one...and that your children will learn great communication skills from watching both of you. And, that they will learn how incredible and loving a marriage can be at their young ages!<br /><br />You are a great Mom, Wife and Teacher!<br /><br />He IS Able!<br />Traci S.Traci S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10163140027077490076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225061259719511123.post-80460336540590276972011-07-25T18:46:20.342-05:002011-07-25T18:46:20.342-05:00Chris, how encouraging your words are to me!!

Thanks for sharing from the heart. It makes me realize that there are times when I should just shut-up. I too am a problem solver and it is awfully hard to not share your opinions when all is really needed is just an ear to hear. I thank God for his revelation to you and your sharing with us!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745760715346683655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225061259719511123.post-14432855001049553312011-07-22T10:16:12.401-05:002011-07-22T10:16:12.401-05:00Chris,

I'll keep the verses you've shared close to my heart and look to God's word for help and inspiration.Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08515769985423318362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225061259719511123.post-79138055425945708302011-07-22T06:13:17.071-05:002011-07-22T06:13:17.071-05:00Thanks for sharing.Thanks for sharing.Karen McAlpinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12313597922522849456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225061259719511123.post-90038439095851610172011-07-22T01:16:29.491-05:002011-07-22T01:16:29.491-05:00Chris, the way you were feeling is how I feel most...Chris, the way you were feeling is how I feel most of the time. I know that I have NO RIGHTS to anything, but still feel that I should. I long for my special someone to love me like Christ loved the church, to be my friend again and put my needs first. After all, I do that for him on most days so don't I deserve some respect? I pray God would change my heart also. btw, are you talking to Deb L? She tells me these things in bible study!
