If you have been reading me for awhile, you know that I’ve talked about my marriage a little in the past.
You might know that something big, scary and difficult happened about 5 1/2 years ago between my husband and I. I’m a different person today than I was before that time.
And I’m finally ready to share my story. I haven’t been hiding it, but I’ve been waiting.
Patiently.
Eagerly.
Hopefully.
And I’ve known that the time would be right someday and that it would be amazing and wonderful when that time came.
I’m ready.
Meet me back here on Monday. I’ll be taking you on a journey that will last all week. And I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
Are you ready?
I’ve become a recent reader, Sarah, but I admire you and your faith. So, yes, I am ready to hear your story!
ready and praying.
I have been a faithful reader of your blog for about two weeks, Sarah. Your heartbeat for the Lord and for your family just oozes out of every word you write. I am blessed that you will be sharing something so vulnerable and meaningful with us.
Looking forward to it!
very interested in hearing what the Lord brought you through… I’m glad you’re ready to share it.
I lost you for a while. You aren’t coming in on my feeder for some reason. Then I came here and saw why! Your page is beautiful.
Waiting to hear from you again in my feeder.
Like the new look! Been here for a while, but just hadn’t taken the time to tell you. Sorry…
I’m looking forward to getting to “know” you better next week.
Hope all is well in your bloggy world!
you go girl!
I love you and a behind you all the way.
Let ‘er rip baby.
Sarah, I am freaking out because in the shower today I was thinking about my own scary time when I almost lost my marriage, about three years ago, and about all your references to it in your blog over the year or so I have been reading. I had on my “to do” list to email you this weekend to see if you would share this soon. One thing that I find sad is so many Christian women who hide the scary stuff that often involves our own sin. The reason I so willingly talk about my wandering and bad choices is that it always points back to my earthly husband and his amazing forgiveness and love and my Savior who loves me even more and who has removed it all as far as the east s from the west. Thank you for sharing. I know it will bless my heart and many others who may not be able to tell their stories out loud. Love you!
. . . east “is” from the west. The need to self edit is a sickness.
Anticipating… and praying for you, friend
Anxiously waiting.
It is so amazing how the testimony of a believer points us to the Lord,and that’s exactly what the story of your marriage will do! Praise God that he restores, and uses the story to impact others. Thank-you for you courage to be vulnerable that it might help others and Glorify the Lord.
I can’t wait!!!!
xoxoxo
looking forward to it.
praying for you.
wish i could be with you next week.
love you!
LOve everyone’s encouragement! love you!!
Praying protection over your home. Recognize when the enemy comes and cast him out…he doesn’t like it when people change lives for God’s glory. xo
Yes, I am ready… be back to “pull up a chair” and listen as you are obedient to our Savior in sharing your story.
Love your sister in Christ,
Traci
very proud of you sis. proud that i got to walk the road with you. and proud of who you are.
love you.
Glad I checked your blog today. I’m so looking forward to hearing your story! Your new blog layout is really cute!
Thank you all for your comments. I am excited and ready to talk about this. Please pray for me because we have been under some serious spiritual attack this week.
My prayers are with you. You inspire me to be a better mother, a better wife, and a better follower of God.
I think it is wonderful that you and your husband are willing to share your story. I look forward to reading it; maybe it will make my own marriage even stronger than it is.
I think I told you already but I really like your new layout.
When God is for me, who can be against me? I’m proud of you.

I can finally get on your site. And, I must say it is pretty.
