Travels II

[Tim Plake]

Well I'm back for part two.
well while I was out to lunch and miserable my wife had been talking to her close friend and telling her of our problems. We were miserable. not talking to each other. I was always tired and miserable from my two Jobs. we had reached the breaking point. two things happened that totally changed our lives.
First; I came into the office one day and my manager asked me if I knew a woman named Linda Scovel, I said I didn't and was asked why she used me as a reference. I went to meet her and find out. As we talked she told me she had also been part of the Way Ministry, You'll find them on this web site. She also told me that she and her husband David held a fellowship at their house. I went home and told my wife and we decided to start going because we really needed help. We began to feel that things were turning around as we spent time with these people. I really believe it a miracle because as I spent time talking with David it was amazing how close our friendship grew in such a short time. It felt like we had known each other all our lives.

The second thing was even more miraculous.
My wife's friend called us one day because she learned that Dale Sides was teaching a class in our area called "Exercising Spiritual Authority" . After she told her fellowship about our problems, they took up an offering and paid her way here to babysit our children for us while we attended. God is so good to us. Well the fun times continue. about a month before the class I injured my eye at work. by the time of the class it had healed. well the day before the class I woke up and opened my eyes and screamed in extreme pain. It appeared that during the night my eye had dried out and the new cornea had stuck to my eyelid. When I opened my eye it ripped out all the new cornea. The pain was so severe that my wife had to lead me around because one eye had to be covered and opening the unhurt eye was just as painful. It was easier to keep them both shut. So for four days I was led around by my wife everywhere. God used this to begin healing our marriage. It gave me the rest I so desperately needed and reminded us why we got married in the first place. we were beginning to talk to each other instead of Yelling at each other. God is always faithful
Bless
