i pray that God will continue to give you the strength to carry on his work , when you preaches the Kingdom all hell break loose , i pray that your husband will turn his volent rage over to God .

Juanita, you know what you have to do. It is amazing to learn how we women choose the same type of men again and again. You'd think we would learn. Sometimes you don't know till later though. Anger can lie dorminant, then something triggers it. I did not know how much anger I had about being abandoned about my parents, both of them, when they divorced until I had to chose to care for my dad. After 2 years, the anger started coming out. Anger I didn't realize I had inside me. The Lord told me to have mercy, and I had to put my dad in a nursing home, he chose. I had to separate myself from him. Now, I had to deal with anger since I was 3 years old. This root probably provided a basis for health problems I have had since childhood, so I continue to work on it. As for your husband, I am glad you to are apart, you have to, it won't change no matter what. So now, you go through the intensity of the pain, and move on. So with my anger, I have never married or had children because I knew it would never work out. God protected me, and placed this wall before me until now, now, I am 50 y.o., it is time to face it, understand it. It is like a slap in the face to learn of this hateful anger. Sometimes I don't want to ask for forgiveness, I build a case, but God knocks down my playing blocks, and tells me, you deal with it, that is why it is before you. Fight Heather, like I showed you how. Go on Juanita, continue, God goes on, and He takes you forward, never backward. In Hebrew, kadima (forward)
