Hi. Just wanted to update people who are praying for me. There has been movement in the following areas:
My vaccinated husband is expressing clarity about how coercing unvaccinated to get vaccinated is fundamentally wrong. He now says he will not take a booster. He is against vaccinating children. This has to be God. We are still intending to finance separate living situations. I hope we can be friends who talk, but he really can’t stand it when I talk to him about not standing up for or with me and I am so hurt that he doesn’t understand his role as my husband to do these things in the Lord.
I had a conversation with reps at the BCTF (provincial teacher’s union) which led to evidence being given to me, which has now led to the MTU (local teacher’s union) stepping up to support me with regard to false accusations. “you will refute every tongue that accuses you”
I have offered to return to work on a very limited basis due to impending separation and expenses. My principal is so happy that I am coming back. Please pray about this decision. School is a spiritual battle field.
My oldest daughter still wants to debate the issue around vaccines. At least we are communicating…there is hope
My youngest daughter is not responding to my calls. It’s in the Lord’s hands.
I had another online prayer session with one of my Christian colleagues re: personal issues and vaccine mandates for teachers. The province of BC has delegated the vaccine mandates to the school districts and it looks like the districts will not be mandating the vaccinations.
These changes must be God. I believe that I will be going back to the school on call for a few days a week as that is the limit of what I can cope with. Please pray for me in this decision.
May I suggest a “never say never” approach here? Leave it in God’s hands.
I know I had said earlier that now that you are cutting the connection, keep it cut. But then we were talking about a full break. With your new direction of separation it calls for a different set of goals.
Continue with the separation and make clear a line in the sand about his change before anything other would be considered. God’s working here, continue to let Him…
The worst fight I had with my husband was after his head injury and involved a heated argument. I was yelling at him. He eventually went for my throat and started choking me. I called the police. He got into a lot of trouble for this, but took an anger management class. I just talked to a girlfriend from Alberta today. She is adamant that I need a clean break. I’m confused about what to do. This needs prayer and discernment. All I want to do, is what is in God’s will for me to do.
from my understanding, Jesus said this about divorce: That it is permissible, though not required, to divorce a sexually deviant spouse.
what about physical abuse though? I’d think He doesn’t want us to stick with someone who threatens our physical safety.
so I ask, on top of the physical threat, IS he sexually deviant? (this could be porn use, flirting with other women, etc.)
it is my personal thought, that if someone is physically violent, there is a great chance they are also sexually deviant in some way, which would cover the grounds Jesus appears to use to judge a marriage.
I don’t know any personal examples though. I am def not trying to tell you what to think, I echo the above response in that it’s all about God’s will for your choices. so I could be wrong, I don’t have a ton of experience and I am no scholar, I just thought id offer what I’ve come to believe, to a point. you are in my prayers catfaire, you should not be abused in such a manner. we have all had our flare ups, and I’ve been known to throw a glass dish at the wall… but never at my husband, I can’t take it out on him that way, and neither should your husband. <3
My response is this. I do not believe that he is sexually deviant, but he is definitely disinterested in me. I live alone in a marriage. There is almost zero connection, but he enjoys his lifestyle. He claims to love me but is devoid of affection, and even resents talking to me. He prefers to watch sports on TV. I do notice that he is very sweet towards other adult females, but not so nice to me.
In terms of scripture, I do believe that I am well within the guidelines for separation. As for divorce, I don’t think so.
Having said all that, the church warned me not to marry him at the time. The pastor didn’t like him and another member of the church told me that he was manipulating me. In hindsight, I realize that my decision to marry my current husband was not God’s will in the first place, but I went ahead with that choice anyway.
My husband is also previously divorced. His ex-wife left him after 15 years of marriage. Is our marriage even valid? A priest at a Catholic church told me that my marriage choices need to be investigated at a cost to me, to determine if my marriage to my husband is sanctified. They also wanted to contact my ex-husband even though I have a restraining order against him. I walked away from that priest and that church for both those reasons. Do not contact my ex-husband. That would have put me in danger. No way I was paying the Catholic church over $200.00 to tell me whether or not they deemed my marriage to be legitimate.
I have been churchless for many years now, but am going to a church tomorrow. Hopefully its a good one. I really need some support and guidance.
I think that I am so broken when it comes to marriage relationships that I really am not and probably never was supposed to marry anyone, ever. The question is, what to do now about this situation.
I definitely need to separate. I am experiencing huge anxiety as I attempt to take a stand and free myself from this situation. I feel scared, even though we are not supposed to have a spirit of fear. I don’t feel safe and I just want to live apart from my husband because I’m afraid that conflicts might escalate in this tinder box of a relationship which could lead to me being physically hurt again. I’m hoping he got enough consequences from the last incident and wouldn’t be foolish enough to get physical and harm me. All I want is God’s will. I need discernment of a clear plan for my exit strategy.
I attended a small, local church today. It was wonderful. Very welcoming. I knew some of the people: former students, current students, teachers, and neighbours. I was welcomed, fed breakfast, and joined a worship team. I almost feel like a human being again. I get to play my violin at church now.
My real estate friend is at the hospital right now getting her booster.
She has a trip to Hawaii, long planned, coming up the beginning of December and is doing it so that she will have no problems traveling. Plus she also believes in the shot, that it will protect her during her travels.
She already had severe headaches after the first set of shots… but she refused to link it with the shots saying that it is because she fell and hit her head OVER A YEAR AGO and is just now having the effects of it. I don’t understand how that makes any sense.

Mercy sakes! The delusion runs DEEEEEP y’all . How sad, really. Even Believers have been sadly deceived about Covid/the “Jab.”
Prayers all around for the deceived, deluded and lost.
Prayers for your friend—my doctor asked if I had the booster yet because she did not recommend it. She said she has been seeing some strange side effects that have been worrisome.
Hi Kurt! Thanks for your response! Since Adam was made from the dirt of the ground, the Second Adam is the Potter, and Paul says “we hold this treasure in jars of clay” , it hit me we’re the clay! That had to be God! And of course we’re hearing so much about merging bio n tech, man and machine, hence iron and clay. So glad we’re not gonna see it! Hang in there! Hope God blesses you abundantly!
Cat fare; I have been playing music on the worship team since 2006. It is one of the most rewarding commitments I have ever had. Not only is it a joy to worship with other believers, the Holy Spirit working through the music/words to engage the worshiping body…it’s just a surreal experience. Praising our Lord this way is amazing
I am a shy violinist, but I think I will feel more confident and enjoy this opportunity. Also, what a wonderful way to express worship. I like to sing as well, but my voice is really tired.
As you get more comfortable with this, you will realize this is for an audience of One.
Chances are there won’t be specific music for your instrument, so improvisation or mirroring guitar parts with fills and similar will sound great. Don’t be shy
