6:11 PM |
surety |
dumbfounded2 it is, I agree, but is it strange that I have this incredible peace. I love him to death, but he needs Jesus bad, and so that is my focus for us right now. He would have to be a new man in Christ for us to ever work together. |

6:07 PM |
surety |
buttons2 & Tiger welcome to both of you tonight. |
6:07 PM |

6:07 PM |
dumbfounded2 |
Cricket- I have encouraging news. Many of you may know my situation and the fact that H has been slowly reconnecting over the past few months. Today is our 24th wedding anniversary. The last contact with H was last Monday when he showed up with breakfast, well today he called and wanted to remind ME that today is our anniversary and he didn’t want me to think he forgot and then he went on to say he has never forgotten, so PTL! |
6:08 PM |
Bluesky |
buttons2 Tiger, welcome tonight |
6:08 PM |
Tiger |
happy valentine’s day |
6:08 PM |
buttons2 |
Bluesky thanks |
6:08 PM |
buttons2 |
Tiger to you too |
6:08 PM |
Bluesky |
dumbfounded2 that is great news. Happy Anniversary. |
6:08 PM |
surety |
dumbfounded2 PTL that’s really cool |
6:09 PM |
buttons2 |
dumbfounded2 wonderful praise there! |
6:09 PM |
Cricket |
buttons2 - Have your heard from your H since he left yet |
6:09 PM |
surety |
dumbfounded2 it would have been our 8th on the 26th. I sent a valentine text, but we no longer have any contact. |
6:09 PM |
buttons2 |
Cricket I heard from him briefly Thursday morning before papers, he was in Bangkok? waiting for his next flight, nothing since |
6:10 PM |
Tiger |
buttons2 - where does he go? |
6:10 PM |
surety |
I bought a house and had him send me all my things, it seems like it kind of sealed the deal for us. |
6:10 PM |
dumbfounded2 |
surety - It is so very hard when you do not hear from them. |
6:10 PM |
Bluesky |
buttons2 oh I guess it is Feb. Wow, when is he expected back? |
6:10 PM |
Tiger |
dumbfounded2 - @:10 you can sure say that again!!! |
6:10 PM |
Cricket |
dumbfounded2 - PTL - That is a HUGE praise. We know they remember but they seldom admit they do and they don't acknowledge anniversaries. This is even bigger than you realize. Hugs! |
6:11 PM |
Cricket |
buttons2 - That's still good. I imagine the time difference makes it even more difficult to contact. |
6:11 PM |
surety |
dumbfounded2 it is, I agree, but is it strange that I have this incredible peace. I love him to death, but he needs Jesus bad, and so that is my focus for us right now. He would have to be a new man in Christ for us to ever work together. |
6:11 PM |
buttons2 |
Tiger overseas, same place as last two times |
6:12 PM |
Tiger |
Cricket - I felt really good about my H contacting me Monday on anniversary, even though he didn’t acknowledge it. I know he knew. |
6:13 PM |
Cricket |
Tiger - Exactly. He KNEW he found a reason to contact you because he was thinking about you. That too was a praise. |
6:13 PM |
buttons2 |
Cricket also he hadn't slept since he left here so he's likely "dead to the world" for a while |
6:13 PM |
Bluesky |
buttons2 how do the kids feel about him being gone? |
6:13 PM |
surety |
all: I met a couple of men, one has a strong messianic belief, not sure I understand nor if it is where God is leading me. It confuses and scares me a little but I am not sure why |
6:13 PM |
dumbfounded2 |
Cricket - I have been quietly watching as he comes closer week after week. and I do realize how much this movement means not only to me, but to him also |
6:13 PM |
Tiger |
Cricket - yeah and then he contacted me yesterday, wow twice in 4 days. |
6:14 PM |
Tiger |
dumbfounded2 - that’s great about today |
6:14 PM |
Cricket |
buttons2 - That's what I meant about the time difference contributing to it. |
6:14 PM |
buttons2 |
surety that might be a sign right there if it scares and confuses you |
6:14 PM |
buttons2 |
Cricket yeah, I'm sure |
6:14 PM |
Cricket |
Tiger - Yes, big praises. The Lord is working. It will continue to take time but still a wonderful sign to show you how the Lord is working. |
6:14 PM |
surety |
buttons2 I am sure you are right, God is not the author of confusion |
6:15 PM |
Tiger |
Cricket - yes it is, that mountain is moving slowly, but its movement |
6:15 PM |
Cricket |
dumbfounded2 - I know you do and it's helpful for others to see this progress too. These things are helpful to everyone in this journey. |
6:15 PM |
buttons2 |
Bluesky I know our D understands as she and I manage to converse sometimes however our S is another story since he doesn't say a whole ton or have much communication with us/me, he did ask me about movie nights on the night his GF and family have family night but, it was the night I work at store so. |
6:16 PM |
Cricket |
Tiger - Remember that the Lord has work for us too. We need time for our own healing and growth to be the woman He sees us to be. Not that it's our fault, but that the Lord has even more for us than we know. |
6:16 PM |
buttons2 |
surety no he sure is not, if things were sure then you would know and not feel the way you do, there is something causing caution in your heart and mind |
6:16 PM |
surety |
Cricket thank you, nice to see you here too. I catch a glimpse of what’s going on with you once in a while. |
6:17 PM |
dumbfounded2 |
Tiger- Thank you. I have been in the clouds ever since he called, but also have a very strange peace about all of it, just very encouraging in the big picture |
6:17 PM |
Bluesky |
surety congrats on buying the house. That must feel great. |
6:17 PM |
buttons2 |
bluesky he is gone for a month and yes, it is HALF-Way through Feb already! I have reports due into office a week Monday! |
6:17 PM |
Tiger |
dumbfounded2 - that’s the way I feel this week too, strange |
6:17 PM |
surety |
Bluesky it does and thank you. |
6:18 PM |
Cricket |
Tiger - From what you shared, you are like me in needing time to work on recovering from damage done in our childhood/past. It was because of this journey, that I worked on myself and repaired my self esteem. If it weren't for this, I'd have keep on keeping on and not taken time for myself. |
6:18 PM |
Bluesky |
buttons2 I was just talking with a friend today about how we are half way thru Feb again. Last year was fast and I think it is going to be another fast year. |
6:18 PM |
buttons2 |
Bluesky me too |
6:18 PM |
Cricket |
surety - Yes, congratulations on your new home. Huge steps to make on our own. |
6:19 PM |
Bluesky |
surety do you have any family living with you? |
6:19 PM |
buttons2 |
All - I am out of practice having an empty bed, right now I have a pillow laying at the top of his side, feels so weird to lay in the bed on either side and know that it doesn't matter if I snore or not |
6:19 PM |
buttons2 |
surety a new house, wonderful! congrats! |
6:19 PM |
Tiger |
Cricket - yep and I have. I realize that I can take care of myself. I don’t HAVE to or NEED anyone else, don’t get me wrong. I still know that my H will come back one day, until then it’s me and God. |
6:20 PM |
Bluesky |
buttons2 hahaha, I do that too. I am not sure I want to give up all my space some day. Lol |
6:20 PM |
Tiger |
buttons2 - go ahead and snore away!! lol lol |
6:20 PM |
surety |
Cricket it’s amazing how this journey has brought many of us and our spouses around full circle, so that we work on our personal relationship first, and learn to leave it all to God for the rest. I was a mess and completely miserable, but He has given me such a new look on life and I have learned so much about His love that I don't think I would have learned staying in it with my h either. I know I don’t want to grow old alone, would go home if he called and ask, but also know that he must be a new man in Christ as well. He's so very lost. |
6:21 PM |
Cricket |
surety - I was introduced to a nice man who helped me with my motorcycle. A friend asked me if I was sure this man was not from the Lord. I said I doubted it and thought only of this person as a friend who was very helpful. I prayed over it and the next time I went on a motorcycle ride that this man was at, he said, "Did I tell you I'm a Buddhist Monk?" I laughed out loud and clearly got my answer. |
6:21 PM |
Tiger |
Bluesky buttons2 - do you know that I still sleep on my side of the bed only. |
6:21 PM |
buttons2 |
Bluesky :) yeah, I just wish I could SLEEP properly yet! I know I will settle but ICK it's been a crazy week and then lack of sleep! Reports due and my brain is mush |
6:21 PM |
buttons2 |
Tiger I mostly always have, my H was in Navy for just over a year after we were married and I slept on my side then too |
6:22 PM |
buttons2 |
Cricket YUP, that's an answer!!! |
6:22 PM |
Bluesky |
Cricket that’s funny that he should blurt that out |
6:22 PM |
surety |
Cricket I remember that. I met someone just recently, thought I wanted to know him more until he invited me to come stay the week end in his house. It completely changed my thoughts, and he has said some really crazy things since. God reveals, I asked him to and boy did HE |
6:22 PM |
Cricket |
surety - YES. My sister and friends had worried because my H is so lost and not supportive or appreciative of me. They worried when he was reconnecting that I would lose the growth I'd accomplished. I too agree that I would not have grown or worked on my healing except for this journey. I'd have continued doing everything the same. |
6:23 PM |
Cricket |
Bluesky - Yes he did just volunteer the info suddenly. Then like surety, there were more things he shared that made me absolutely sure and I have had no contact since. |
6:24 PM |
surety |
buttons2 yes I actually bought the house with my oldest daughter, and am blessed to get to experience watching my 3 granddaughters grow. My daughter said how cool it will be for them to remember growing up with Grandma. My bedroom is actually the slumber party room (master room). |
6:24 PM |
Bluesky |
Cricket I am really trying to bite my tongue with my cousin. She got a proposal today (married 2x) been living with this guy for some time. She is going around telling everyone on FB that God told her they were getting married and the date this year. |
6:24 PM |
Cricket |
buttons/Tiger - In all my years in law enforcement, we often worked different shifts so I was pretty used to sleeping on my own and have continued to stay on my own side too. |
6:24 PM |
surety |
Tiger me too and we live in different states. (same side of the bed) too cute |
6:25 PM |
buttons2 |
surety wonderful!!! I know our children and the other older grandchildren all remember sleep over’s in the living room of their home |
6:25 PM |
Bluesky |
Tiger oh I still sleep on my side, but I sure do stretch out all over while watching TV. |
6:25 PM |
Cricket |
Bluesky - Yes, don't you want to scream when you see people interpreting things the way they want to interpret them? |
6:25 PM |
surety |
Cricket I am still raw and a work in progress. Still learning |
6:25 PM |
buttons2 |
Cricket I realized I'm not much of a shifter in my sleep so no gravitating elsewhere to start with except if H seemed receptive to cuddling |
6:25 PM |
Bluesky |
Cricket yes yes yes |
6:26 PM |
dumbfounded2 |
Tiger - I sleep on my side too. I have tried but always end up right back on my side, guess I always will |
6:26 PM |
Tiger |
all- if you stand at the foot of the bed and look towards the headboard, my side is the left side, always has been, always will I guess. |
6:27 PM |
buttons2 |
Tiger mine is right |
6:27 PM |
Cricket |
surety - How cool to be able to be part of your grandchildren's lives. I know this journey has really given me opportunities I would never have had. When I stopped focusing on my H and really gave my future to the Lord, He really did so many cool things. |
6:28 PM |
Cricket |
buttons2 - I'm the same way. My kitties come cuddle and I know they feel safe because I don't shift that much either. |
6:28 PM |
buttons2 |
Cricket :) bunny lays beside me to cuddle but sleeps on H's side at end of bed |
6:29 PM |
buttons2 |
cricket lately though he's slept on my side near the end, even before H left |
6:29 PM |
Cricket |
buttons2 - My kitties sleep on the foot of the bed most of the time too but particularly one of them comes and cuddles particularly in the early morning but sometimes during the night. She makes me too warm and she gets too warm after awhile and then moves back to the foot of the bed. |
6:30 PM |
surety |
Cricket you know I take still life (nature photos). I have been taking pictures for a gal, some will end up in the city magazine for art she has in a show in city hall for 4 months. Then in a show in Rock Spring Wy, and then we will work on her portfolio and cards. It's a blast to pursue this, and the funny thing is my h bought me a camera for my wedding gift and a more advanced digital for Our Last Christmas together. It’s a blast and I love taking photos especially of flowers and of the sky. The ones for the magazine are of blooms made from "ring neck pheasant feathers" |
6:30 PM |
buttons2 |
Cricket :) yes sometimes that happens with bunny too |
6:30 PM |
Cricket |
Tiger - That's my H's side too, always was. |
6:31 PM |
Cricket |
surety - Wow, very cool. How exciting to see your work at City Hall and published on cards, etc. Yes, one more example of things we wouldn't have pursued except for this journey. |
6:32 PM |
surety |
Cricket that new focus and future from the Lord is what I believe I am experiencing too. you and swan, well Lisa and many others, kept harping at me to follow God (matt 6:33) guess I listened and am listening!!! :*) |
6:32 PM |
Cricket |
surety - Awww Grasshopper, LOL I really am proud of you! |
6:32 PM |
Tiger |
surety - I love taking pictures too, everyone has always commented on how good my pictures are. |
6:32 PM |
surety |
Cricket eventually I will continue with my own cards and calendars again. |
6:33 PM |
Cricket |
surety - You'll have to share some of your photos with us when you can. |
6:33 PM |

6:33 PM |

Cricket thank you, but it was this journey and the wonderful ladies, Jim and Bill here that really helped. |
6:33 PM |
surety |
Tiger that's really wonderful. I keep asking God to help me use my photography to serve HIM |
6:34 PM |
Bluesky |

ALL so the interim superintendent of the SD came to the school today, it was SO unnerving because she sat in my class with my principal for a while. I winged it with something because it was Valentine's and our class' 100 day celebration, one of the students had brought 100 animals and I asked the students to guess how many each would get if they shared them, the student is SLOW, she did first hand out then I got in and gently tossed to each child. |
6:36 PM |
Tiger |
surety - that would be cool. I would love to show them off |
6:36 PM |
Cricket |
Surety - The same for me. If it weren't for this journey, I would never have pursued the various things I have, I would never had traveled to Europe, never learned to ride my Harley, etc etc. AND yes the angels here and Jim Conway were my life line. |
6:37 PM |
Bluesky |
Cricket I still want to get over to Hawaii. |
6:37 PM |
buttons2 |
ALL the whole board of trustees has agreed to come but it won't be until after the next community consultation, although it is before the last one which is also the vote day, the one parent who drives me crazy wrote a really good message to the trustees (so I am told) and she's heard back from 4 or so saying they will vote against relocation, that means we need ONE more |
6:38 PM |
Cricket |
buttons2 - That sounds wonderful. I bet that you did great but I can understand it made you nervous. |
6:38 PM |
buttons2 |
bluesky I still want to get off this continent or at least get off this Island! |
6:38 PM |
surety |
Tiger silly but my side of the bed is always the one where he would be between me and the door. I am always protected away from someone entering the room. Even in my home without my h. |
6:38 PM |
Bluesky |
buttons2 have you ever been outside your country? |
6:39 PM |
Cricket |
Bluesky - I LOVE Hawaii and it was a favorite vacation place for my H and me. We spent many anniversaries there so I made a point to return on my own to reclaim it. When my H was reconnecting, he said we'd return to reclaim it together. |
6:39 PM |
buttons2 |
Cricket I hope it came across wonderful, the whole "tossing" animal’s thing but the kids liked it, yes very unnerving as this is like "the employer" of us so. |
6:39 PM |
Bluesky |
surety my d does that too when we stay in a hotel. |
6:39 PM |

Bluesky I hope to walk in the Honolulu marathon one day, it's another goal |
6:40 PM |
Cricket |
buttons2 - Isn't it funny how even when we live in a beautiful place that tourists want to visit, we are drawn to other areas. I am the same. My area is a tourist area too and when I travel, I am reminded how lucky I am, much like your area |
6:41 PM |
buttons2 |
bluesky and surety I have traveled most of the province I live in with family as dad worked all over it however there are places I want to see |

buttons2 we |
6:42 PM |
surety |
we always went to Hawaii almost every summer. |
6:43 PM |
buttons2 |
Cricket I LOVE my area but it's over 45 years of living here and not really experiencing much other than here, last night is an example of the beauty and of God's power, the wind was the HARDEST I can remember since we started doing papers, the water was Crashing and white-capping, it was stunning! I really wanted to capture it but D's phone and mine do not like night photos. sigh |
6:43 PM |
surety |
Bluesky oh there is NO WAY I would run. I walk a lot in summer months, some time up to 3 miles a day, but no way never run. I tried jogging once, ick |

Bluesky |
hannah hi glad you could make it tonight. You must be tired. |
6:44 PM |
Cricket |
Surety - Yes my H and took many trips to Hawaii through the years, various islands and spent many anniversaries. He then took the OW there on their honeymoon but that caused problems because he kept remembering me and admitted that to the OW which caused them to fight the whole time. Oh well. |
6:44 PM |
Cricket |
Hi Hannah - Wow it's been a long time. |
6:44 PM |
buttons2 |
surety bluesky I was the SLOWEST "runner" every time in PE, hated it!!! NO ONE else would be around when I finished, barely even the teacher waiting to record my time!!!! Most were even half-way changed--- run or jog never!!! |

6:46 PM |
surety |
Cricket the last time I went was when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. She has always wanted to go there; I remind her she’s been there. I even dug a hole in the sand for my belly so I could sun bathe. She doesn't see any humor in it, I do! |
6:47 PM |
buttons2 |
cricket I listen to quite a few of the other teachers and they've travelled here and there and had these experiences and I feel like this dull little Christian girl who never partied, never travelled, the "worst" I did was get pregnant before I was married |
6:47 PM |
Bluesky |
well ladies, since there are 4 of us tonight, I think I will head out and start my dinner. |
6:47 PM |
surety |
Bluesky at the beginning of this journey I walked and cried, and prayed a lot. Help with my figure so it was a win win situation |

6:50 PM |
Cricket |
hannah - It went very well, 550 people attended and I've gotten lots of positive feedback. There were glitches behind the scenes that will need to be fixed but the public didn't see it. I worried that I didn't have time to really formulate my welcome speech but it probably turned out better because I had a theme and I've been told it very good because it you could tell it was from my heart. |
6:50 PM |
buttons2 |
surety take care, night! |

6:52 PM |
Cricket |
buttons2 - Yes several people I know well told me it was perfect and I don't think they'd have said anything if they didn't believe what they said. I could tell it was received well by the crowd. |
6:52 PM |
surety |
Night and thank you. Cricket, Hannah, Buttons2 thank you, have a wonderful day. Remember, God loves us and His love is all encompassing. Amazing huh!

Right now with work and everything I don't get to church at all. I'm just not being fed spiritually. |
6:58 PM |
Cricket |
I can imagine. Is there any church near you that has an evening service? Even if you could find a Beth Moore group to join it would really help. |

Cricket |
My church just started a Ladies Beth Moore group in the evening. |

my schedule changes each week, when I do get to church we haven't had a minister for 4 years now and the interim one finished this past December so everything is temporary. I offered to run a bible study but it didn't go over very well |

Cricket |
A couple at my church started a program called the Truth Project that has been very interesting and you can miss a week and not be out of touch. It may be that you are being directed to a new church. |
7:01 PM |
hannah |
I wondered that I, Cricket, even my friend who has gone there all her life is wondering about finding a new church. Well I will let you go but please keep me in your prayers. |
7:02 PM |
Cricket |
hannah - From what you shared, it definitely feels that way. |
7:03 PM |
Cricket |

dumbfounded2 it is, I agree, but is it strange that I have this incredible peace. I love him to death, but he needs Jesus bad, and so that is my focus for us right now. He would have to be a new man in Christ for us to ever work together. |
