My friend suggested this to my the first time things my wife and I separated. Even bought the movie Fireproof for me. We got to talking yesterday and I was asked if I ever watched it. I admitted I hadn't... That piece of me resisting God and his help. 

I said it was at the house and I would watch it today. Well I couldnt find it, so I rented it and watched it today while I was at the house waiting for my kids to come home for their last day of school. 

My wife comes home at 10:45 for lunch, I had just finished watching it. I have been beating my head trying to figure out how to save our marriage (after I filed for divorce). I asked her to consider just requesting a 60 day postphonement with the courts to see if we can make this work. I as I talked to her, I was able to touch her with out rejection. I was able to run my fingers though her hair. I was able to touch her face, I was able to hug and kiss her. 

She did not answer with words, but I feel hope. Reading the steps of the 40 day challenge... have to be modified because we don't live together anylonger. But I took the piece of advice for day 2, do someting unexpected. I cleaned the house. I mowed the lawn. I bought 6 roses. (Hey $ is tight)... 

I dont expect my work to fix anything today. But I can hope with the openess conversation earlier that God is trying to save us. If I am able to keep going, Maybe just maybe It will work.
