Diving in

If you are reading this you are sure to already know me, at least in some capacity.  You may have heard about the recent changes in my life, or maybe not.  After 12 years of marriage I am in the process of securing a divorce.  Twelve years.  That's a goodly chuck of change.  This process is messy and terrible and heart-breaking.  Our family is being dissolved.  But I also believe that growth and maturity and hope can be found in the midst of the mess.  Maybe we find those good things as a direct result of the pain.  I am learning that the pain certainly has a purpose, no doubt about it.

I hope to use this blog as a way to find healing and to share with you all the ways that God is reaching me in my mess.  If there is any goodness in me, in what I write or say, I give Him the glory.  My desire is to move out of this bitter place and into the realm of forgiveness.  I think this blog may help.  Of course, there is sure to be a healthy dose of cute kiddo stories thrown in.  My kids are my greatest joy.
