The best advice I can give you is to not dwell on it. LOL if I could JUST tell my mind to shut the heck up I'd be GREAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I hear that. BUT surely the Lord's will is for my husband to be healthy, right? I know I can NEVER presume to know the mind of God, but I have trouble with seeing things through His eyes. I am the one who has to DO everything and DEAL with all things and do do do do and keep doing. I get everything intellectually, but do I really GET IT? I don't think I do. Therefore, I struggle and can't "let go and let God." Why oh why did God make me this way (don't read me the line about the clay saying to the potter....I already know). Somebody quick. I need a lobotomy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a lobotomy!! I don't know what the Lord wants either, if God wanted everybody healthy would there be people born with birth defects and other problems................I don't know, all I know is, I don't know very much and need to pray more, and listen more and believe more.........hows that for a "not" sermon!

If your husbands comittment is the problem then write up a schedule. But if you are comparing him to other men or think him weak, then renew your first love with him and reflect on those first years when he was the moon and the sun in your life.
