I thought I would share my broken heart with my friends today. Today, nine years ago, I said 'I do' for the first time. I haven't noticed this date in a long time but am noticing it now 14 months into our marriage. I am having a really hard time distinguishing what I am feeling besides sadness at the loss of dreams...when you say 'I do', you mean for it to be forever. I also feel fear in that where will Ryan and I be 9 years from now? I am clinging to the fact that God has transformed me (and Ryan) and we are different people, by His grace, than my ex and me. I am going to cling to the fact that We (God, Ryan and I) are a cord of 3 strands that are not easily broken. I talk to the women I counsel about anniversary dates trigger the loss that we hold in our hearts and new grief triggering old grief. Today, I feel like I have a real example of this. Maybe this will help me love these women (and all of you) better...
