Hello Nick! How about that singing with Wayne, that is so great. But I am so sorry to hear that with all the blessings come the trials. May God be with Wayne and His Family. And I wish you good luck with all the singing. Since it is not until October I am sure all will be well, we Pray.
Singing is one of my favorite pastime. I did several Solo's in my younger years. Singing is praying twice a wise man once said. So lets sing together in Spirit.
In Christian Love IreneHi Nick:
May God touch this man Wayne with healing Eze.16:6 and we shall continue to pray for the victory on his behalf and family…My marriage is ending……
Dan and I had a very painful conversation this morning whereby he confessed that he is in this relationship to meet his obligations. I do not want to be anyone's obligation.
Sometimes I think I've been a fool to stay as long as I have…..
I'm broken,

My first words were Oh, no. And then my tears started, I am truly saddened when a Marriage ends. God also does not want it either. Mandy I hope you have thought this over. I know from experience with our Daughter how hard it is to be raising Children by yourself. Maybe I am assuming that you are raising yours? Think about them. Our Granddaughter has been hurt by their divorce all of Her live since She was 5 years old.
My Husband and I will pray for all of you. Please don't take it wrong what I said, I love you and care about you and want the very best for you.
With all of my Love IreneHi Mandy,
Our prayers are with you. Do have patience and trust in the Lord inspite of all your difficulties.
God is the one who is keeping us in His hands, therefore no one can harm you.
Love to you

Hi Mandy:Sometimes people say things they don't really mean when they are angry or under the influence of Alcohol. Was any of this the case when he said what he did to you?
In any case, maybe if he knows that you will leave. He will have a change of heart. If you leave, you won't be there to meet his obligations.
But who knows Oh man or of wife if you will save your wife or your husband. And your enemies shall be those of your own household. Love your enemies do good unto those that hate you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you.
I am praying that God would do every thing to save his soul.

Hey brother,I appreciate your words here. I am so exhausted and emotionally, physically, spiritually and every-other “ally” beaten down right now. It's all I can do to get done what I need to.
I think Dan likes me on his arm, but his heart is not for me. Through the years I've tried to imagine that it was, but reality does indeed bite sometimes. No, Dan had not been drinking or even very angry when he told me that he planned to meet his “obligations” regarding our marriage. I wish I could blame his raw and painful honesty on the booze but he was clear-minded at the time, and the message came through loud-and-clear.
Your prayers are much appreciated. Much love to you all for praying. I really need your prayers.
Love,
MandyMandy! Just want to assure you that I am praying for you daily. May God be with you through this hard time. We never know why we have to go through certain trials, but we also have to put our trust in the Lord. He will work it all out for you. It hurts now, but we never know what lies ahead for us. Be strong for the Lord, Mandy.
Love you IreneHi Mandy,
Please… no decisions to be taken emotionally which may give more pain in future. Trust in God who is the only our strength in such situations. Anu and myself are praying for you. Have courage to face the situation my Sis.
May God continue to strengthen you psychologically and spiritually.
With love
AdamHi Mandy,
Just my two cents here and keep in mind that this is just from my perspective but feelings come and go and come again. I would tend to bet that I have been just an obligation in my marriage at times, probably several. Marriage is like a roller coaster and that is why commitment is so important. If my husband and I weren't committed to our marriage we wouldn't keep making it back to each other. I am not in your shoes, though. Sometimes everything I have responsibility for feels like a commitment and then other times I love to attend to those same things. You might consider giving your marriage a fighting chance and for the next say 30 days, without saying anything to him about it, focus on his good points and do something tender towards him each day. I know that will take dying to yourself but your kids welfare is worth it. See if that doesn't change anything. Just an idea Mandy, please don't take this wrong. I don't like to give advice and rarely do. I know that I am not in your shoes with an alcholic husband. Sometimes counseling will turn things around, sometimes a seperation will wake up the person/persons, and sometime even a great book will inspire. Let God lead you where you take this. You do have some say here. IMO it is ok to be just an obligation for now, God can turn that around.Written with your best in mind,

Hi Kathi,Well you should give more advice!
It's sound and caring, and I thank you very much.Another brother emailed me with another thought to consider and it's worth noting here for other's who are suffering with perhaps the same problems….
If you love your life, you will lose it. If you lose your life for his sake, you will find it.
I've been pondering this yet again. It comes down to sacrifice.
Thank you all for your prayers. Please keep them coming, please.
Love,
MandyJodi,
Parts of your story are very close to current struggles of mine (my alcoholic husband AND brother). I will add your request to my prayer list tonight…..it seems that list is getting larger and larger, and more urgent every day.
Many prayers for healing and restoration,

Thanks so much, sis. It's so nice to know I can count on you and Georg for prayer. That means the world to me.
Love you,
Mandy
