So journal I'm writing to you tonight with a lot on my mind. I guess I'm just growing tired of the ever changing moods. To be honest I just struggle with things appearing to be fine one moment and then the next BAM, things are quiet and cold. I really just struggle to maintain my footing.
Tonight I got to experience a marriage ministry for the first time. I have to say that it was very powerful and enlightening. I enjoyed observing the couples and seeing how they interacted with one another and listening to the lead couple sharing a powerful and transparent presentation on marriage and overcoming. It was also important to see that I'm not the only husband who may feel like it is too much on my shoulders or to see that someone else's wife struggles with being a strong, supportive, and caring wife. It was just a powerful situation. It was a powerful story.
But what happens when it all ends? What happens when there is no one around and the services at church are over? What are we feeling? What are we going home to? These were some of the questions I was asking myself as we were leaving. I was hoping and praying that we would all go home to excited laughs, cuddle time, possibly a nice romantic shower together, or physical intimacy that would blow the couples mind.
I was hoping that it wasn't coldness or quiet anger. I was hoping that people did not return home to the frustration and anger they left before coming to the marriage ministry. I was hoping for some peace. Journal I grow so weary sometimes and like the minister said tonight, just tired of bleeding. I want the wounds to heal for us all. I want us all to come home to a better marriage and a peaceful home.
For those of you who read this and you have what I hope for us all, pray for other couples and encourage them as well.
