Roses & Integrity

I love my husband - He is the dearest!!! Yesterday when Ken came home from work, he gave me roses. The roses in them self were beautiful but it was under the context that I was getting them that spoke volumes of love to me. I know if I would have had a good week, I would have loved the roses, but knowing what a tough week he had gone through with me - warmed my heart all the more to get fresh flowers from him.

His unconditional love never ceases to amaze me. Ken treats me like a queen when I am acting like everything but one - At one point this week, I asked him - "How do you it...You are so unconditional with me." He told me it isn't the times that I fail with this or that but the fact that I keep my heart open to him - even when I feel vulnerable and scared - so he realizes the battle is not him and I but I am fighting a battle trying to silence me as I discover new freedom every day.

I don't know what my days ahead will look like in my journey as I continue to taste vulnerable freedom and not distract myself with false idols of control...but I do know I have a confident husband that believes in me more than I believe in myself at times.

This week Ken fought for me in ways people will never be able to see...Protecting me in the way when I am 1000 miles a way from him and he is protecting our marriage...He is an amazing protector but as he reminds me - all because of God's divine grace and I keep my heart open to him so he knows how to protect me...I can't encourage you enough to keep your heart open to your soul mate...the cost of not is a silent death in marriage or worse - a co-exiting marriage.

As Ken reminds me - there is NOTHING that will EVER come between us - including my buckets of tears, control and pain at times...As I write this, I know my spirit was saved from major depression this week - all due to my husband being able to speak truth my heart...and one way he did that was giving me roses last night and being a man of intergrity.

Sweet blessing from my heart to yours and to every couple believing in each other more than any obstacle trying to tear them a part.
