MARRIAGE AND RELATIONSHIPS

I’m a broken woman in so many ways. I was broken before I came to Christ and I was broken before I got married. God has broken me after I walked down the aisle and He has broken me while I’ve been walking "The Narrow Path".

I’m broken…..and I’m okay with that. However, I didn’t always feel this way! So as I write this to you, dear friend, I write it as a broken vessel; one who is fully acquainted with:

• pain

• rejections

• persecutions

• rejections

• physical limitations

• heartaches

• rejections

• failures

• depression

• despair

• and oh, I can’t forget

....rejections!

I’m a walking scar and I know it. Although my scars don’t define me, they have shaped me. But…..I’m transformed, made whole in Christ, and embraced by the One who is defined by His scars.

So I get it. I get the hurting, the fear of the unknown, the disappointments, as well as the insecurities that one faces.

10 Things a Hurting Husband Needs

from His Wife!

I love this picture of this couple walking through a storm. It reminds me of life, going through hard times and unforeseen circumstances. These were the words from the photographer who took the picture.

"A cyclone named ‘Thane’ hit Tamilnadu coast yesterday. Most parts were affected due to heavy rains and thunderstorms including chennai where the sea water came 500 meters in to the city till the service road in chennai marina beach. I was there to shoot some photos and I was shocked to see this couple walking in the waters and enjoying the climate. I watched them for quite a while before taking this shot. They were never perturbed by anything around them. Even a cyclone cannot stop lovers."
