Jesse has moved back home! He came back on the 18th and things haven't been this good between us in years. He comes home at 5:30 and we either hang outside in the shed or sit out in the swing. We make it a point to have time to our selves to just sit and talk about what has happened throughout the day. We will sometimes go into the bedroom snd justvlay and talk also. I have always put the girls first, but now I see how important it is to focus on us and keeping our marriage strong. I have been trying to keep my mouth shut when it comes to bringing up the past. I'm focused on moving forward and being a better wife and most importantly, a better example of God and His love. I started the book, The Power of a Praying Wife and it has been a huge help. I started writing out the prayers and making a binder for Jesse. I read chapter 1 and at the end I decided to write the prayer out since I was reading it on our Kindle. It was a long one and I was trying to get it done before Jesse got home. I was cutting it close, but once I got it wrote out I prayed over it and closed up my notebook. Jesse called me about 20 minutes later and asked if I needed anything from the store before he headed home. We talked for a few and before we hung up he said, Love ya. He hasn't said that in years! I said, 'I love you too!' As soon as we got off the phone I praised God for answering my prayers. I know we are still going to have bumps in the road, but I thank God every day that Jesse is here and that God is in this with us. One day at a time, forever and always!
