Kate, God works in mysterious ways. See, I believe He's been at work throughout all this.

Please keep reading and doing what you feel called to do with his recovery and God will continue to place things in your path.

As far as helping with the ministry at church, I would leave that totally up to our husband if this is a couple's ministry. If the ministry was for partners of people who abuse/abused then I would say it's up to you.

Is your husband giving you feedback as you go along? I'm tickled that he went again. I'm proud of both of you. [Big Grin] God is at work Kate...keep listening wholeheartedly. I'm praying for you girlfriend.
