Togetherness

Dear God, I'm going to admit that I have been avoiding sitting in this room and writing to You.  I have taken the last week to be angry.  I'm still no closer to understanding why You're making us travel this road this way.  there were so many other ways You could have done this...nicer ways...quicker ways.  But I've come to terms that I will not understand.  All I'm asking for in the midst of all this is that when we get to the other side, and You bless us with the child You promised, that You help us learn whatever lesson we were supposed to learn and traverse whatever trials You will make us go through.  And on the other side, we can use that experience to bless others.

Togetherness seems to be one theme coming out of this.  My mother said that You told her, "that we need to pray together."  VJ said that my wife's trials are my trials, because we are in this together.  Are we really still so far apart?  I thought we were doing pretty well on that front.  We've gotten so much closer since we've been in Dallas and closer still since this baby stuff started.  I realize there's always room for improvement, but I thought it was progressing okay.  I guess we have been growing together, but not toward You together.  Well, bless each step we take, so it's easier to take the next one.

Spiritual Bonding - to be connected to God and joined spiritually to each other.  To consistently place God at the center of your relationship and grow closer to Him as a couple.

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.  Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.  Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."  1 John 4:7-8 NIV

"That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh."  Genesis 2:24 NIV
