this is not my attempt to elicit a response. really. it’s not. and i’m not being a martyr, either. i’ve been one before, so i know what it looks and smells like. that’s not what this is.
this is just an observation.
yesterday, i wrote a marriage tuesday post about walking through life’s difficulties and tragedies with our spouses…and how important it is to know how to talk through the process.
when i was finished writing and letting what i penned soak in, i felt like it was maybe the most important thing i have written on my blog in the six years since i began.
not everything i write is all that important or life-changing. in fact, most of what i write is just the rambling of someone who is simply trying stay connected…with my friends and family…and with my own heart.
but yesterday was different. i really wanted you see what i see and believe what i believe. i wanted you to feel what i feel about marriage and be determined to grow deeper and healthier relationships with your spouse. i want you to grab on to the reality of what you will walk through together…and not shrink back from it.
anymore, i am seldom intimidated by silence. after i preach. after i give counsel. after i write.
today it was deafening.
i hope you got it.
