These last 2 years have been times of pain and hurt and growth and seeing things as they are.
A short time ago Husband and I purchased a home together. A new home. Where we will (happily) live with our family.
We purchased it with faith that this new emotional space we've found filled with acceptance and love will last.
We purchased it knowing that we are excited about our life together.
We
purchased with our eyes wide open to trials and pain and hurt - fully
aware that all of that can (and probably will) come screaming back to
the forefront of our lives, and that we are capable of handling it more
maturely than we ever have before.
We purchased FULL of hope and love. And I am praying we can in turn FILL this home with faith and love.
Because though things feel about a million times better than they did 2 years ago, we all know this goes just one day at a time, so all we can do is have faith and love.
This post is so happy and hopeful. Really really helps me believe. You are finding your way and your light and your love, even with all the pain and trials that come crashing into our sacred homes without any permission. But taking it day-by-day, yeah, I really like that. Makes everything feel more manageable. So grateful for your insights - they really help me.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Thank you for sharing the hope and happiness you feel right now :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I remember this place. The excitement of the new experience and the fear that the life hoped for would continue to be marred by the life struggle I was be-set with. I so hope you have the very best of all that is wonderful in this new home. I hope it is a place of love, of healing, of family and friends. What more could be better?
ReplyDeleteNew space is a great place for new habits and patterns, I am very happy for you :-)
ReplyDelete"...all we can do is have faith and love." I couldn't agree more. This has been my mantra too since I've discovered my husband's porn addiction in 2012. Though things are better the past few months (he's under the GreatnessAhead therapy), I couldn't stop myself from crying over the devastation that I had to go through last year. Faith and love are the only intangible things that we could cling on.
