This was heartbreaking to read. This is a sermon that should be read out on a Sunday!! so half the couples in the congregation can stop only smiling on a Sunday routine! and realise that the marriage is the ministry and that we are the church and we’re all tired and sick of every that isn’t Jesus. As a new believer we don’t want a song and dance with a hyper fixed Sunday smile, we want the Lord and if he hasn’t told you anything to say Saturday night Sunday morning that’s fine because it’s only his voice through the pastor we want to hear. No show no gimmicks no programs just Jesus. How freeing that is to all of us stood before the alter and those sat on the pews. By the way your article is incredible,honest and will help a lot of people who have been through something similar. The amount of pressure and pain, your family has gone through is unimaginable. To continue as a husband and wife is the testimony and the hand of God in endurance and long suffering and mercy and grace baring his fruit. 🙏 if only more pastors were this honest. God bless you guys🙏

Thanks for taking the time to read & thank you for the feedback!

People are looking for a Christianity that’s real & authentic, I hope to achieve that in my writing.

Full disclosure, this story isn’t about my life, however, I’ve experienced intense tragedy & trauma in life & God is still writing my story.

this was a depressing read. I've taken a break from it and I will revisit later on a fresh day.

It’s heavy, but it’s real. It’s the stuff that goes on behind the scenes that no one ever sees. Again, thank you for your likes & comments. It’s really appreciated.

Been saying for years, it's never more than 6 days till Sunday. And that thing needs to be fed. Great article. Especially that part of contemplating career choices.
