Blogging through the first years of marriage has been such a learning experience. And while I’ve been pretty open here about conflict in our marriage and struggles we’ve had, believe it or not, it is often difficult for me to share some of the deeper things going on inside my heart. {Shocker, right!?} And today is one of those days. I awoke in a bit of a cloud this morning. Not really knowing why but feeling a wave of discouragement sweep over me as I came to terms with a new day.
I’m still feeling a bit stuck there, even now, hours later. I know it will pass. I know I won’t always feel this way, but because I feel it right now, it’s kinda difficult to shake.
But as we were standing in the kitchen together this morning, the Husband noticed I was a little “off”. When he asked how I was doing, my tears began to fall. He stopped in his tracks and reached out to just hold me. He’s really good at that. He doesn’t need an explanation. He doesn’t try to fix it. He’s just there. And then, before he left for work, he said, “I’ll pray for you extra today.”
I’ve probably said it before, but I’m so grateful for his kind and gentle heart, his willingness to pause and just be there for me, and his consistent prayers. It’s a bright shining light, even on a dark day.
