I appreciate your willingness to take ownership of your sin. Even more I appreciate that several years of success (even if hard won) passed before you posted your story. So there is now no condemnation awaiting those who belong to Christ Jesus. For the power of the life-giving Spirit----and this power is mine through Christ Jesus----has freed me from the vicious circle of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2 "old" living Bible I was moved in heart by your families story. I appreciate your willingness to take ownership of your sin.

With God ALL things are possible! I look up to you and your husband, although I know this forgivness and healing came straight from God. I look up to your willingness to be used by God and keep your marriage in tact, I don't know if i could say the same for my self. Sorry this is sort of a long post... But I want to say, I have been dealing with something. God's been working on me about judgement of others. Several months ago I might read this and although I was brought to tears, I might say in the back of mind something like 'she wasn't really a christian then' But you see that would take away from God's Glory! It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from when it comes to GOD! I am really starting to recognize that Christian's have struggles and season's I should take the log out of mine own eye before trying to remove the spec from my sisters/brothers. Praise God for His work in all of us! Praise God for you Sarah and Chad! Thank you for your honesty! What an amazing story of redemption! With God ALL things are possible!

Out of joy for you and hope for me. My situation is not the same as yours, (there was emotional and physical infidelity on both my husband and my part) but I can definitely relate to your journey. I watched your video in awe and I'll say it jealousy. My husband does not know Christ. He is holding on to unforgiveness and anger, holding on to the pain and not willing to let Jesus in to begin the healing. I am here waiting and doing EVERYTHING in my power to fight for this marriage. It's been 8 months and I see very little change in him, in fact he pulls away more and more, he says even more so now that I am stronger in my Faith than I have ever been we cannot be together. We have two beautiful children who I fear will suffer the ultimate consequences of this. I have not given up, I know that Christ can do all things, He can break down the walls my husband has put up and see that there is hope for us. But it's hard. I love him do much, I miss him. We live together still, but separated. I could go on, but I wont. All I will say is thank you. For your story of hope for the broken hearted. Sarah,

I found you through Lisa Leonard's blog. Your honesty is touching. I don't have any idea what you've been through but I applaud your trust and love in the Lord. God blesses us each and every day--it's our responsibility to honor that. Good for you! Amazing story. I found you through Lisa Leonard’s blog. Your honesty is touching.

I have been going through a very dark and scary period in my life as a result of so many mistakes that I have made. I have lost the love of my life and I am not sure that I will get him back. But I have gained a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God in the process of my own healing and I have learnt lessons and grown tremendously in my faith. I don't know why life brings us to such phases in life but I know that God's grace and mercies are never-ending, though not to be abused, they uplift us even from the darkest, deepest abyss of sin. Thank you for sharing your story. I stumbled upon your story today and it truly resonates with the story of my life at present.

I am still praying for healing and a mended relationship, I don't know if it will happen, but I do hope for it. Thankyou for being brave enough to tell this story, even know I really have no one I can talk to about this. I have lost friends, respect from people and gained much coldness from others. In a way it has brought me much closer to God because I've learned at the end of the day He is my one true friend who forgives and Loves unconditionally even when I mess up royally.
