Tough times...

I need prayers! My husband and I have been seperated for a year now. God has really working in our lives and in a few weeks our three children and I are hopping on a plane and flying back to reunite.
I am really excited about what God has done and happily shared the news with my family... Smile

My parents were mad. They said that during a seperation I am not allowed to speak with my husband. ??? And that I should have spoken to them more about it.
The rest of the family has been cautiously happy except my Aunt, who called and e-mailed to tell me unrelated bible verses trying to say that I should not be going back. :angry: She said my Grandma is concerned as well.
I think the trouble is that they were happy enough with me planning to divorce him, and God was working in my life and my husbands, but I wasn't calling them and telling them all about it... (In the past I have been put down a lot or belittled when I was excited about something God was doing in my life, so I prefer to speak with others about it.) Now it has changed, and I feel attacked all around. I am packing and closing accounts, dealing with changing schools, getting out of a lease and the day to day things that come from having three very young children and no breaks, and on top of that, disapproval from my family... and I am so busy, I really never go out and make friends. My husband has been as supportive as he can, but he lives very far away.
Most important, I know my spiritual life has deteriorated. I know I should be getting into the Bible and praying but everytime I do, the belittleing words and condesending tones come through my mind and I am having a hard time seperating that from God.
Please pray for me, my extended family, my little family, my children, and over the entire situation, that GOd's will is done here because I don't want anything else.
Thank-you SO much everyone. Smile

Blessed Father, our Abba, You loved us enough to send Your heart, Your Son, to die for us... You arranged for Your Holy Spirit to live with us all our lives... Turn Your eye to our friend "Mommy". [You know who she is, Father... Wink

]

Hold her up as she tries to do right in her marital situation. Bless her efforts to find a path You prefer among the many choices she has. Help her to live with her face in Your Bible, even when she feels too harrassed to get anything out of it, because we know Your Word will never come back void...

Thank you for the authority You've given us, all undeserving, to approach you in Your sweet Son...

Is it an "amen", believers?

My heart and prayers are with you. May you find peace and comfort from God and clear direction for all that is ahead of you. Very Happy

Just know that the harsh words are from humans that mess up just like the rest of us. They are not words of our loving God. He says, "Dear Child, I love you more than you know.
I long for you to be close to me and rest in me, knowing no matter the circumstances, I am always here for you".

God Bless you and your family and the journey you will be taking. Be safe.
