[...] I’ve been there. I was hurt by the betrayal, the negligence, the doubts, and constantly lived in incredible fear and shame. Most everything I just described about sitting alone in the woods waiting for deer is something I experienced while fighting for Lisa. [...]

[...] Finally, I got up the nerve to sit down and talk to Derek. I told him that I had been lying and that I had had an affair. I confessed that I had been fighting on Satan’s side for a long time. However, at that moment I began the journey of returning home. Returning to fight on the LORD’s side. Our home began to rise. [...]

I’m posting the same comment here as on the post before it:

I have typed several different comments in here at different times, but have mostly avoided it because the idea of commenting on this post is intimidating to me because I don’t know how to not write a book about how much I love you guys and how deeply, deeply I respect you both.

Know that I would be standing in front of you both giving you a silent, watery-eyed look full of the meaning of 7 years of friendship and the bond of going through the best and worst times with each other.

Thank God for his healing.

Faye, as always, we love you too and appreciate your support and love.

Scott, thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you asked about the details. We are sharing bits and pieces of what we’re doing and plan to share more over the the days, weeks, and months ahead.

I, specifically, will share more of my specific response in several posts ahead. We’ve been talking about roles and communication and believe those things specifically can do tremendous things to help bring husbands and wives together. We do know our story will do a lot of good to help people who are in these types of situations, as well as prevent some of the trouble we experienced.

Again, great questions. I’ll get on it.

I just wish there were more details. i don’t really knwo that there are any practical tools here that I can pass on to other couples in crisis.

What did you do to mirror Jesus? What conversations did you have with your wife? What prompted her to return to Jesus?

I think we can all see ourselves in that video for different reasons. There are so many things that Satan put in front of us to make us lose site of God. We just have to keep struggling through and know that he is always there waiting with his hand out to us, we just have to keep reaching up. I love you both so much. I’m in tears. God bless you both and God be with all of us.
