Sorry, I have been moving all week and staying with my in-laws. Thank you for your prayers. During the move, I haven't had as much time to spend reading the bible and praying and it definitely makes difference, expecially during this stressful time. My husband and I have been on completely different levels - fighting allot. Your prayers are definitely appreciated.

thanks,

That's ok. Your prayers are much appreciated. Thank you 

I actually lived in Pennsylvania when I was a kid for a few months in Norristown. I remember the humidity there....it's actually been kind of humid here in Southern California...

Wow ..thundering and lightning...It must be 107 degrees over here. Forgive me, remember I am new at this whole chat thing. What do you guys mean by "pie fight"? Do you know each other?

I am a beginner, so the "Just for Women" area was the place I looked first, but I am open to the advice and stories of men and women. Thanks,

Thank you for the advice. I love to hear stories of salvation. Prayer is so powerful 

I will do the same for you. It's nice to talk about it with others. I just try to be a godly example for the family. I tell my husband I am praying for him but I am done nagging him to turn to Christianity. It does no good. Have you ever read the book, "The Power of a Praying Wife"? It has allot of good praying material in there that's realistic. It's frusterating... but you can't change them to love God and being a believer, it's hard to understand how someone could just believe in nothing... I will keep you in my prayers as well. Don't give up!

thanks,

So true. Thank you for the response.

The battle of food.

Well, I have been involved in nutrition and excersise for a number of years and crash dieting doesn't work. I would start simple. Do some walking daily until walking no longer fatigues you and then start with something more intense...."running, stair master...etc." Counting calories without depriving yourself...Nurti - system is great if you don't want to count calories, but those programs can be expensive. If you eat small meals every 3 hours and stay around 1200-1500 calories a day, I can almost guarentee you will lose weight. It will be hard for the first week, but your stomache will shrink, therefore you will be satisfied quicker and you can eat the food you love as long as you only have the 1 serving listed on the package.

I hope this helps....
Good Luck...I will pray for your strength and success.

Sometimes I feel like, "This is just the way it is". I will always be the believer and he will always be the non-believer and that is just the enemy talking. Maybe I just don't understand people who don't believe. It's just kind of like, "What would it hurt to try".......
Thanks for the prayers and response 

Santa Clarita, CA

I am a Christian woman, married with a 2 yr old daughter and a 7yr old step son. I have a great, hard working husband who is a non-believer. He was brought up by his mother, who "abandoned" him for God when he was about 9. He doesn't understand that that was her mistake not God's. We have a great marraige but the spirituality bond is not there. He is not a practicing "atheist" so to speak (he calls himself a "realist", but he believes in no God, no devil, no heaven, no hell. He has a foul mouth but cleans it up around the children. He loves gambling and drinking beers on the weekend (which hasn't gotten out of control) It's kind of like that saying "If you don't believe in anything, you'll fall for anything". I take my daughter to church and say prayers before bedtime with my step son....but it's hard. I think about the end times and our future together. I love him very much and pray for him and his family's salvation. Please pray for our family.
