Hi All,
It's our 9th Engagement Anniversary. I still remember it well, though for now, it is a bit tainted by my husband's past sin which broke our marriage covenant two years ago. We are 52 days in to his disclosure to me (he told me about a week before Christmas of 2016) so things are still raw, but ultimately hopeful. My therapist said that anniversaries are usually difficult for a time...I can attest to that now. We went to our weekly couples counseling yesterday and it went well, it's always encouraging to meet with our pastor. He always has many words of hope for us and sees that we are progressing in a lot of great ways. We went out last night, I even wore the same dress from those nine years ago. We had a great time, it was even cold and a bit rainy just like that engagement night. But, it is still tough. Tears keep streaming down my cheeks, the pain keeps welling up at random times. I have accepted that it's ok to cry since a "death" has happened because that precious covenant was broken. I ask that you would pray for us, Chris and Stephanie. We have other friends praying for us, but I would never refuse another prayer warrior to fight the battle with us.
Thanks friends,
Steph
