It's no secret that I've had a very difficult summer...in fact it's been a very difficult couple of years. I've been stuck in a place I never thought I would be in. It's as simple as that. I've spent a lot of time on my knees, with my bishop, with good friends, late nights watching KBYU devotionals, reading scriptures (and in no way do I want to discredit these things!), but I always seemed to feel stuck in the way that I felt and thought. It was sheer torture. I became tangled in a blackness that I didn't know where I started, or where it ended.
Without divulging too much personal information... I was in my own personal hell. Well, after many months of many miracles I am finally climbing my way out of the blackness that seemed so much a part of me for so long. The book The Peace Giver had so much to do with me coming out of everything black I had become. It is an AMAZING book.
This book has helped me recognize the things I can control and change to make my life, and my marriage the eternal focused entity that it should be. I feel so strongly that this book has really saved my marriage.
Yes, that's right... Saved (SAVING)my marriage. John and I are working things out and re-building our relationship brick by brick in order to become the eternal couple and family that we had set out to become eight years ago. Words can't express how bad things really had gotten between us, and for all respective purposes... I don't ever want to remember or go back. I gave John a copy of this book as well, and recommend it to everyone who is or will be married. It's changed my life!
