Dear Courtney I can relate to you in so many ways. I grieve the loss of everything I had believed in. While he didn't leave us, I came to realise that he wasn't who I thought he was. After 20 years of marriage I found out about one infidelity that made me open my eyes to the fact that I had been lied to for all my marriage. He's never admitted it but in hindsight I can see other times now as I look back on patterns of behavior. I chose to stay in the marriage and work like a dog to build it back. I threw my whole self into it, even putting him over my children, totally focused on getting back what I thought I had lost, bug in reality never had. I went through all the emotions you ladies speak of. Intense pain, fear, anger. I even blamed myself and for a while was practically starving myself. I found you Courtney in that dark period...you were like sunshine God sent to light my way. I even started blogging because I wanted to join in with bible studies and led international groups for a few years. When you told us what happened to your marriage I was so devastated for you. I'm really happy that God has placed someone special in your life. I do understand the insecurity and fear you feel in giving yourself totally to another person. I feel like that with my husband 14 years later. I still get triggered as you said. It doesn't help that he has never tried to do the work of building our marriage. In fact he once said that if we had made it to 20 plus years and it broke up well so be it. That's when I realized that he didnt care enough to work on it with me. I moved to another bedroom and I go through periods of believing that God wants me to do the work of healing but then the fear of giving him my all again steps in. Anyway I really just wanted to say that I am so grateful that I was able to walk with you and I am happy that you are coming through to the other side. You are such a blessing. I pray that God continues to heal you, guide and comfort you. May His abundant blessings be poured out on you and your loved ones ❤❤

Thank you for this!! Just purchased the course. We nearly lost my husband in 2021 but praise God for doing the miraculous. In Dec last year, I lost my father and in Feb I left a job I loved due to health issues. Love that this is so timely in this season, thank you!

I'm so sorry I've been gone. I'll be posting again regularly this fall. I've spent the winter writing a book that will be available in 2024. I'm nearing the end of my writing and thought I'd share this video from one of our courses. I'll be back soon
