Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)	Dear Heavenly Father, This is a wonderful day, Lord! Two of your most dedicated children become one today! Lord, watch over Novelette and Marcel on this day and in their marriage. Please bless them with the strength to get through this day and find you and love at the end of it! Lord, keep their marriage upon the solid foundation that they have built for themselves through you. Help them to weather the rough times...together and show them many, many good times ...together. Help them to build and provide for their family...together. Keep them strong and a united powerful team against the devil and others that wish them harm and ill-will...together. Show them that through you and their love they can conquer ANYTHING...together! Lawny & Marcel remember: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. -1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Lord, you have been so good to them so far. You helped them to find each other and start this wonderful journey. You supported them through the many months they were separated. You carried them through the interview process and finally brought Marcel here to be with his Wife. Bless them Father....oh Bless them that their love continues to grow, their faith in each other and you remains steadfast and strong. But most importantly Lord...Help them to feel the love they have for each other today...always. In your powerful & bless-ed name we pray... AMEN!! Lawny and Marcel, I will tell you the same thing our pastor told Ken and I. In the worst of times in your marriage, remember one thing...'Love is patient...Love is patient...Love is patient!!' This is the bless-ed day that you have both been working towards! Rejoice in this day!! Bless-ed love to you both, Gill Edited by Forever Young, 23 July 2008 - 05:07 AM.

Jamaicans could be sought for Iraq and Afghanistan Finding it difficult to recruit enough soldiers to meet its international commitments, the British Army is reported to be thinking about signing up Jamaicans to fill the posts. Looking for soldiers within countries with historical and or current British ties, the British military has been facing a hard time getting and retaining soldiers with its engagements in Iraq and continued efforts in Afghanistan against the Taliban. Already employing around 1200 soldiers from foreign, including commonwealth countries, the British army already has about 600 soldiers in its ranks. The Brits continue to consider sending a selection team to Jamaica, a former colony of Britain that remains a member of the Commonwealth. www.yardflex.com THAT'S INSANE!!!

Sometimes they like to "wait" till they've rec'd a bunch of them for the month and then they email everyone with Interview times. That's how it went for me, Gill and a bunch of others so Hang In There!

Hope it smooths out with the SO and he's able to be here with you in the future. Claire....I laughed when I read your posts about "what to share with the SO's about ur past relationships" cause i'm sure that type of stuff comes up all the time. I've been lucky that Dave could care less about my previous relationships, even though he knows about a few. He doesn't have any kids and was pretty open about his past from the beginning.

Can't tell how long we have not spoken for long time on the phone. With his schedule and mine, we just have time for a quick hello before bed, then he goes to church all day Saturday and on Sunday he does his laundry and prep for work monday morning. Because it was raining today, he stayed home and called me at a point when I was folding clothes and thinking that only if he were here we would be folding clothes together. I had to top up my phone card and I don't think I have any minutes left on it for the month. Anyway, it was great talking to him for such a long time. As you said we talked about every and any thing today. It was really different but good All I can do is laugh at this......If I could only get my husband to fold laundry! Andre and I used to talk for hours when seperated. It was always nice and I hoped it wouldn't stop. Now, we sit on the back porch and talk like that. Usually it is the stupidest stuff....yet, special all the same. Yup, I remember those days were I would use back to back 4 hour phone cards and just 'Chat!' In a way, I think it was so much better than a traditional relationship...because when you are talking separately over the phone... sex doesn't really get in the way...maybe phone sex... ...but that's still talking! You talk about EVERYTHING under the sun and really get to know your partner! Ken and I would have the most random of conversations on those days...but I loved them all the same! Like JG, Now Ken loves to chat on our back porch...I can hang with him for a while until the bugs come out and spoil everything! (I HATE INSECTS!!) So then we continue the convo in our bedroom...just whispering in the dark! I live for those moments these days! We are both so darn busy...him working 7 days a week now and 10-12 hour shifts...I miss my best friend! He came home early yesterday! Me and the boys were like... So we had family game/movie night!

MAKE some NOISE Roxie. How di hubby? Update on my girlfriend. She got back from Jamaica last night and I was right, she went down to get the business in order. Good thing his name was never attached to anything. Her husband has access to nothing. The only reason she's allowing him to stay in the family house is because 2 of his children live with him and they have a year left in school. After that, he's out. She says she has too much on her mind right now to be hurt. She wanted to forgive him with the advice of her pastor, but when she found out that the woman he slept with was only 19 years old -- THAT WAS IT! Her and the baby are fine. When she flew into Miami, she was taken to a room to be questioned, because she told them that she was 7 months pregnant and they didn't believe her. She asked them if she wanted her to do a strip search, but they said, no and let her get on her way to her connecting flight. She's invested so much time, money and love into this marriage and for it to end this way, but she says in the long run it would have cost her much more....peace and happiness. morning everyone!

Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)	QUOTE (Mrs. Palmer @ Aug 5 2008, 08:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey guys...don't mean to rain on everybody's parade, but I was reading back a few pages and a topic that is very real to me came up, and honestly, a lot of your answers have surprised me. The topic was what would you do if you were faced with a 3 year ban. I saw several folks say that they probably wouldn't do a LDR for 3 years...well...quite honestly, that puzzles me a bit. For this reason only: everyone up here is either wanting to marry or already married. We've all found people that we say we will pledge our love to forever. That we will stand by our SO's side in good times and bad, yadayadayada. I've definitely learned that life will definitely throw you curve balls, and no matter how well you plan your life and what kind of decisions you make, things may not always go as we would like. Does that mean that we abandon our dreams, our desires, what we believe to be ordained and blessed by God? In my opinion (and I stress, this is just my opinion), I would say I hope not. What happens when you'fre living together as man and wife and you go through a dfficult spell...as many marriages do...that can't be fixed in a month, or 2, or hell even 8? Do you leave, or do you fight for what you believe to be right and good? I feel so passionately about this because the 3 year ban was imposed upon us because my fiance (now my husband) admitted that he had smoked months earlier (his blood tests and drug tests came back clean). At that moment is seemed that our lives were over, and for a while, I'm not even going to lie, I felt like I wouldn't be able to do it. I went back and forth with what being in this relationship would mean from that moment foward, because the whole scope of it had changed. I made a deliberate, and prayerful decision to continue in this relationship because I truly believed that he was the man that God had created for me. And while I resented him for a long time, we eventually worked through it, and I promise you that I could not be happier. This time apart has truly given us time to grow as people and as a couple. We have truly had time to think about what it is we truly want from this each other, this relationship, for our lives. I think when we were doing the K1, we got swept up in everything that was going on==it occurred so quickly (6 months from start to finish). We married nearly a year later. Now, our time for re-filing will be coming up soon. And we are much more focused, and more prepared. I believe that God definitely had a plan for us, and trust me when I say that as a result of what happened to us, I definitely had to learn that I would learn to follow HIS plan--not my own. We have put everything in God's hands, and I believe that we will be blessed this time around. I originally considered moving down to JA after the denial first occurred, but after talking over everything and trying to plan for our future we decided that it would be better if I stayed here. So, we do our best, like everyone else, to make the most of our visits and phone calls. We're hopeful about our future, and we appreciate and feel so much better about one another as spouses. I pray that no one ever has to experience what we had to---but if it came to the worse, I hope that you all would not abandon the ones that you love so dearly because things did not occur as we hoped they would. I know this was a long post guys, but I had to speak what was on my heart. Everyone up here has given me so much strength and encouragement, whether you know it or not...that's why I have continued to come back. Now, I want 2 enjoy all of these videos, so talk to you soon! Love you, Tamisha Mrs. P., I appreciate your honesty and determination on this. I always said that I would have moved on if Ken had been positive...but in all honesty ...I probably wouldn't have. Your SO's test came back clean, but his conscience dictated that he tell the truth...I respect that. Look Girl, when I first came to the Yardie thread I was determined not to judge, but to support other Sistrens (and Brethrens) going through this crazy process. The decision whether to stay or go was yours to make... supporting your decision is ours to give. You have mine! Gwaan through Gurl...your time soon come! Thanks again for the share. That's what I hope this thread is about... sharing and learning...not judging and hurting! Bless-ed love, Gill Edited by Forever Young, 07 August 2008 - 11:32 AM.
