Brothers and Sisters,
Hello and blessings to you all. I am sorry I haven't been on the board in a while. I would like to request prayer for myself and my family. We have been struggling at the church we are at now for the better part of a year. My husband had decided, I thought, to leave and start looking for a new church, but over the weekend met with our Pastor and decided to make one last effort to work through the issues we are having.
I would not be truthful if I said I was feeling good about this decision or that I handled his decision well, I handled it poorly and we argued, something that hasn't happened much in our house in months. I did go to church with him and the children this morning but really struggled the entire time with being there at all and with my attitude.
I want to honor my husband's decision in this but it is hard. We both prayed long and hard for guidance over whether to leave or stay, and he says he feels this is the right decision after meeting with our pastor, so I know I must accept it. Please pray for us. I do not want this to be between us, I do want to honor him by respecting his decision. I love my husband and he does seek to live a godly life and do the right thing for our family. I feel that if I am not careful in how I handle my attitude over this it could lead me back into the sinful ways of relating to my husband that I used in the past, and at the same time I am not at peace with his decision. Please pray for us.
