I'm amazed how emotionally articulate you are in your five minute posts, how you can go real deep down into your human emotions, but I always feel God in your writing holding your vulnerabilities and helping make sense of them with God's guidance. Always you lead us to the path of truth and love. Your heartfelt struggle with your husband reminds me of those times with mine when things are hard, and you remind me to hold each other again in the embrace of God's oneness.. so beautiful Karrilee. What a gift you gave me today. I hope to visit you again this summer to check in to say hi! You warm my heart with your abidingloveaboundinggrace..Hugs!Kathyhttp://www.holyvacationqueen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-31477835734923984912016-07-08T14:41:45.114-07:002016-07-08T14:41:45.114-07:00Thanks so much, Jeanne!

It's not normal and most of the time I think I am not taking it for granted, but then we get hit with an attack and realize how blessed we really are. I think so often in marriage - we forgot the vital importance of SAYING the positive things that we love and are thankful for about our partners... (and sex. We forget about the vital importance of sex, too!) ;)~Karrilee~ from Abiding Love, Abounding Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698176066735604032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-53406581713180792472016-07-08T14:00:10.200-07:002016-07-08T14:00:10.200-07:00Karrilee, what a powerful post. :) Yes, we have al...Karrilee, what a powerful post. :) Yes, we have already won because we are ONE.

My husband and I went through a very difficult patch about a year ago that so reminded me of what you wrote:<br /><br />In the end, what bridged the gap and brought our wounded hearts slamming back into each other was the realization that, no matter what, --we win because we are all in...with no holding back. We win when we remember that we are one. <br /><br />Then the next step was all the boundaries and walls that had to be reconstructed correctly. Boundaries - yest, but walls - no. <br /><br />I'm praying for your time of rest and want you to know that it has been an inspiration for me, as well, to intentionally rest. It's not easy for this girl until my health knocks me out. But I'm learning to rest consistently. Not just when I end up sick! We have had a quiet week in the mountains and it has been so good for our family. <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your heart and hope with us at #MomentsofHope! You are a blessing!<br /><br />Blessings and smiles,<br />Lori Lori Schumakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146372328978894133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-55214795555153654612016-07-07T13:51:49.318-07:002016-07-07T13:51:49.318-07:00Love love love Karrilee!

Yes! Your post also made me think of one of my fave quotes by Elie Wiesel "God created people because God loves story." I'm so thankful for the amazing relationships God has placed in my life. You, my friend, are a blessing and a gift. I've missed you all, but it was so good to disconnect and be in one of my fave places...the Colorado Rocky Mountains with some of my fave people.
