Sarah & The Impossibility
Dear Sarah, Your story has always been one of the ones that perplexed me the most. As a married woman I try to wrap my mind around why you would give your husband into the arms of another woman and I cannot understand it… But as a woman who waits and has waited in […]
The Great Collide: Emotional Pain and Our Father
Two Wednesday ago while at Discipleship class I knelt down to worship– I began to weep; I could feel the love of God engulfing me as I knelt. I could hear Him telling me that He loved me and I didn’t have to earn His love. I began to weep even more because even […]
From Weeping to Blessing
We moved to North Carolina in the beginning of August, 2017. A few weeks after my husband was assigned to His unit, he was told he would be deploying in three months. My husband came home that day and told me…. devastated is a mild emotion compared to what I felt. It’s like my heart […]
