GOD BLESS US ALL!!
I have been searching for that "inner glow" that CHRIST is with me. I was talking with my husband last night and he feels that I have become a "bible thumper"! This makes me so sad, because I want him WITH ME when I study the Bible and pray! I am not sure if he is not "ready" to fully accept God in his life and let God take everything from us and guide us...or if this is his belief and that he will never be "with me" as far as Christ is concerned!
I was telling my husband about yesterday before church service...I started doing layreader and yesterday was my first day. The priest said a prayer before we went out for the service and was amazed at the "chill" (not sure what else to call it) that tingled my whole body during the prayer....this is not the first time this has happened...but my husband feels that this IS the "inner glow" that I have gotten and I don't even realize it....
I have never been this at peace in my life. I have given all my concerns and worries over to God and let him help me deal with things...and I can honestly say I HAVE no "real" worries anymore. Yes, I worry about my children, BUT I do not lay awake at night or cry because I am afraid anymore...what a relief this is!!!
Thank you all for listening to me!! Praise God for all in your lives!!!

My husband does not study with me nor does he attend church. I pray for him every day and talk to him about the services and things of God as I feel led to. I want him to be there with me, but I am not the one that has to draw him-God does and then my husband has to accept.
As for the "inner glow," I have never heard it called that but it sounds like what we call the presence of the Holy Spirit. I have felt that "chill" many times and it is so awesome and defies explanation. I remember the first time I felt truly at peace like you explain. It was awesome. I was in a thunderstorm and I looked out and laughed because I was not afraid for the first time ever.
God is so good to all of us, I pray that both of our husbands realize this and join us soon. Hugs-Amy
