Reminder to self:
But the voice of truth tells me a different story The voice of truth says, 'Do not be afraid!' The voice of truth says, 'This is for My glory' Out of all the voices calling out to me I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth -Casting Crowns
Stop making yourself crazy... this is done, and only by the ONE who can take a pile of sh!t and make a garden. Only by the ONE who can take the most torturous and heinous manner of death and turn it into His Glory (and ours)
Put your faith there... stop making youreself crazy

Yo daisy!
Don't forget: despite all those church tourists, yesterday *was* Easter!
Let's all recover.

hey dazed, actually I kinda like what Johannes calls ya better, so...Hey daisy It seems to me that you and your h have good communication. Do you think it might help if you were to tell him that you are having some doubts and concerns right now? From everything you've written, it does seem like he is really trying in his recovery. Maybe just saying the words to him will help you get rid of those doubts.

gosh daisy you guys have some really good communication going. I agree that we all need to look at other people's hell more often, and be grateful for what we have ( or don't have).

I can relate to that. I've done it, too. I do it when I don't feel people hear me when I express my hurt and pain - they minimize my pain and I'm clueless how else to get it out so just splat on them. I've been memorizing James 3 in a modern translation. It's helping me replace those core thoughts of dealing with hurt by splatting verbally with the Truth of God's Word concerning my mouth. It seems to be helping me catch when I'm ready to verbally wound somebody and stop the behavior. I still mess up from time to time, but am doing much better. Here's another scripture I carry in my purse and read when I'm wanting to rude-out at a slow sales clerk, overbearing salesman, etc. Although these scriptures concern what is done at the temple before priests - in the New Testament, marriage is a type of relationship between Christ and the Church - so I figure they apply there, too. Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 1. Be careful what you do when you enter the house of God. Some fools go there to offer sacrifices, even though they haven't sinned. But it's best just to listen when you go to worship. 2. Don't talk before you think or make promises to God without thinking them through. God is in heaven, and you are on earth, so don't talk too much. 3. If you keep thinking about something, you will dream about it. If you talk too much, you will say the wrong thing. 4. God doesn't like fools. So don't be slow to keep your promises to God. 5. It's better not to make a promise at all than to make one and not keep it. 6. Don't let your mouth get you in trouble! And don't say to the worship leader, "I didn't mean what I said." God can destroy everything you have worked for, so don't say something that makes God angry. 7. Respect and obey God! Daydreaming {for me that daydreaming leads to unrealistic expectations which precipitate getting easily offended} leads to a lot of senseless talk.

I think sometimes we may say things after a "good and quiet period" because we're just now comfortable enough with the situation to say them. Does that make sense? Could it be that you feel pretty good about your h's recovery, and you now feel that he can handle some of the things that are still a source of irritation for you? I know I sometimes use humor to get my point across when all else fails. I hope you are having a good day

That is an annoying feeling, isn't it? That "something just isn't quite right" thing. I do that. When it's time, I'm always shown what it is though. I hope you find peace from that feeling soon. You and your family are still in my prayers.

Daisy,
Don't have lots of advice here, but do know I'm continuing to read your journal.
Ooooh, and now something out of left field: how's your internet consumption these days? ;D ;D
Hehehe, maybe we can move from a quantitative to a qualitative approach? Meaning being online is fine if we're *not* using it as an escape mechanism...........
Maybe a naive question: have you told your husband about your distraught feelings?
Many blessings!
Johannes
