You Can Never . . .

Marriage on my mind today.  
Also the lyrics to the song Who You Are by Unspoken.
"I know that look you're givin' like you got something to prove
'Cause I have walked for miles and miles in that same pair of shoes
You refuse forgiveness like it's something to be earned
But sometimes pain's the only way that we can learn

You can never fall too hard, so fast, so far
That you can't get back when you lost where you are
It's never too late so bad
So much that you can't change who you are

You believe in freedom, but you don't know how to choose
You gotta step out of your feelings that you're so afraid to lose
Everyday, yeah, you put your feet on the floor
You gotta walk through the door, it's never gonna be easy
But it's all worth fighting for

You can never fall too hard, so fast, so far
That you can't get back when you lost where you are
It's never too late so bad
So much that you can't change who you are

So let the ashes fall wherever they land
Come back from wherever you've been
To the foot of the cross to the feet of Jesus
The feet of Jesus"

 
Tonight as I lay here talking to my husband about friends of ours that are having a really bad time in their marriage, I am thankful for the times that almost destroyed our marriage. NEVER thought I'd see myself typing THOSE words!

SO much has changed since then. It's so humbling to look back and think of what our marriage would be like if we hadn't committed to fighting through those hard times and fighting for our marriage and our girls. In fact, our 2-year-old would not even exist if we had decided to give up and get out! And she is such a sweet blessing! Our girls needed their Mommy and Daddy to work on our marriage. It wasn't easy. It still isn't easy. But we love and understand each other more now than ever before. We have walked through some deep dark valleys, but God has given us the victory and we have come out on the other side! I know there are a lot of people struggling in their marriages right now. It's never too late for God to work a miracle in your marriage!  If you are in a deep dark valley, DON'T GIVE UP AND GET OUT!!! GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE VICTORY AND YOU WILL COME OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE!!
