The internalizing… What do you mean it’s over? How could I not have saw this coming? What about the life we’ve created, the vows we committed?
The personalizing… What didn’t I do right for you? In what areas did I ignore you, not care for or validate you?
The fantasizing… What makes her more appealing, better than…worth abandoning and giving up everything for?
The rationalizing… I can change, we can get help…what about the children? Didn’t we make a covenant, an agreement to sign up for forever?
The finalizing… After the shock, anger, the departure, the tears, the courts, the signing of the documents, the long season of despair and the darkness and not knowing…
The awakening… Then the choosing to move forward, the sun begins to rise, there is laughter again, new friendships, a timely song, and hope is being restored. New memories are being created and new mercies appear…just as HE promised. As He holds every broken heart and as His promise is that nothing can ever separate us from His love. Because His covenant is unbreakable!
