Bridget- hang in there (F) and know that you and everyone else waiting here on VJ are in my prayers :luv:

Jackie - I'm glad it's doing better today, but be careful ok? ;)

Happy Thursday MENA!

It's my Friday :dance: (yes, I had to rub it in as well :P )

يَايُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءامَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَوةِ اِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّبِرِينَ

Bridget,

I was awoken this morning at 4am and as I was sitting here I began to pray for you ( that God grant you endurance ) and I had no idea why I was ' lead ' to do that. After reading your post this morning, I now know why.

Cheer up! Better days are coming. :)

That is so very very freaky!!! I have not cried like I did last night and early this morning since my first husband left me with the kids. It came out of no where it seemed. I think that in the back of my mind I had the endurance for a 6 month AP since that was around the longest when I started this whole process with the exception to the rule here and there. I never thought I'd be the exception since we don't have a huge age gap but I guess the norm has gone from around 5 months of AP to around 12 months for anyone going through Cairo who met via the internet. I don't know if I have the strength for that. It's not what I expected at all. I'm really not that strong, although my husband argued with me last night that I am stronger than I think. I have no idea where he gets that idea from. I'm really starting to resent the establishment in a big way. I was looking at timelines for Nigeria the other day and they have about a week of AP if that it seems. I would have thought that would be a larger fraud country than Egypt if not right up there with it. I don't get it. I really don't.

You don't give yourself enough credit...you are stronger than you think! Look how far you have come and yet maintained yourself without going into the nut ward...! Keep your eyes off the problem and focus on God. I know it sounds silly, but it works for me when Iam at my worst.

Not really freaky...God lets me know who to pray for and when sometimes. Im not to understand it, I guess, but to obey.;)

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

To all of you guys....you know...i don't think ANY of us give ourselves the credit that we deserve. It takes a dang strong and determined person to be able to make it through this process--it is not for the weak. But keep in mind...that this time that we are spending fighting, waiting, crying....will only last but a short time compared to the ''rest of our lives'' of being happy. (did that just come out of MY mouth)...usually i am the one crying and never able to post b/c EVERYTHING makes me sad...hehe...but anyway...feeling a little positive the past few days and ready to endure --for now--next week...may be a different story..

But Bridget...hang in there honey...wow...i just realized you guys got married exactly one month after me...hehe...smile and HUGS
