My husband and I got into a huge fight the other night......so bad that he's not talking to me[he's cooling off]. Ive been reading the book and i guess for some reason i had the urge to start from the beginning and read it again. I was seriously over-come by the spirit and it seemed like everything that he had expressed concern and said was correct. I feel absolutely horrid. That night he kept bringing up how i never seemed happy. I didnt understand how he could be saying such a thing,i was smiling,i had been smiling but after i read the first chapter again,it hit.......I was happy but i wasnt truly happy. My happiness came from things that were superficial,going out,partying,spending money,etc. The book had stated that to be genuinely happy you needed to be filled with the spirit and frankly until a few mins ago,i couldnt have told anyone the last time i felt the spirit. It became very apparent to me just how "unhappy" i was. I honestly disgraced myself,my family and everything i stood for to achieve temporary happiness and in doing so i pushed the wonderful man that had been by my side for almost 12 yrs away.
my whole point in this post isnt for pity lol i needed to get this out,maybe someone out there has been or is going through this. i mean any kind word,helpful thought or even a word of prayer,scripture etc is greatly accepted.
i have asked for forgiveness and i will patiently await a reply. thanks for reading
