Thank you for your beautiful words of encouragement, Margo.  You are correct in your counsel and I am grateful for the reminder that God is always in control.

Your Sister-in-Christ,
Annie

Annie I know what you mean when you said "I don't feel like my husband knows me" Boy, that one hit home. I wished I could do better in this department but i found it extremely difficult to be a "good wife' full of the Holy Spirit. I gave up trying and now God has taken over and I am not so upset anymore as I trust God for my needs and thank Him for this fellowship. It's not easy. There is a possibility your husband is somewhat jealous. Mine was. The more I talked about God the further he withdrew. He was immature and jealous that I was making strides into spirituality (actually it was God doing it) I don't talk about it anymore and I do get lonesome for intimacy where our souls are together in the same place. But, "Jesus walked the wine press alone" and many here are walking it that way also. I will pray for you and your husband as it is not an easy one and I wish no woman would have to go through it but God has always been there for me in a very special way though. He is faithful, I am not! Love, judy

Dear Judy,

Your words bring much comfort to me.  Finding fellowship here with you and others has been a tremendous source of strength as I journey onward in Truth and Light.

I said to my husband last night that I am not going to hide my light under a bushel in my own home (or anywhere else for that matter).  He understands that and I don't believe he is purposefully trying to be in disaccord with me.  He is just so mired in the doctrines of men, it's very difficult for him to even consider they might be incorrect.

One thing he has asked me over and over again is, "How could 'the many' be wrong?"  It's that whole carnal, majority rules mentality.  But you and I know that with God, only 'the few' will understand. 

Additionally, if my husband really understood the Scriptures that he reads daily, he would see the error of his thinking.  The Truth truly does make you free!

I will pray for you and your husband too, Judy.  And feel free email me if you'd like to chat.  I'm also on SKYPE. 

With Love and Gratitude,
Annie

Dear Annie,

My husband also said the same thing, "how can so many be wrong"?  I myself just knew only because the Lord had revealed that to me, but not to my husband, yet.  I have to say he is starting to hear and see.  Praise The Lord.  It is all in His timing.  I just love to share the things of the Lord, but not all want to hear.  It is lonely in the world, but not in the Spirit.  That is what keeps me going.
Blessings,
Margo

Dear Annie and all,
I am right there with you. I didn't used to be. When I found BT in 2008, I wasn't looking but God immediately removed my blinders. When I read to my husband, it was answering his questions from all the way back to when he was a child. He had always questioned church doctrine, while I was a good sheep.  ::) :-\
But we both took off running with it and somehow he kept on running till he ran off a cliff.  :-[  :o

He still believes the jest of it all which is wonderful. He just is having the worst time dealing with the sovereignty of God. He feels like he's been left here to drown until the resurrection. Just so many trials and he is so down. Nothing has been working out for him. The worst scenario is what always takes place. I feel helpless to help him. I want to trust in God with our trials but he refuses to now after so many times of disappointment.

So although we both can rejoice in our Savior saving all and agree on staying away from church, we are on very different pages with daily life issues. It hurts very much but I am trusting that God's plan is to bring him here for a reason and pull him out in His time and not mine.

Blessings, Lin
