Can't Stop Won't Stop - Continued! — GRITANDFAVOR.COM

It’s been brought to my attention that this post might have caused frustration or offense in regards to the marriage portion. I want to be really clear my heart for this post. As it is never my intention to cause someone hurt.

I think we as women, especially Christian women over complicate situations. I see it in my own life and those around me. We look for and formulate a 10 step plan to a lasting marriage or positive parenting experience. We often spend more time trying to figure it out than actually taking steps toward healing. We read posts, blogs and books that are really encouraging, but never actually put into action what we learn.

Somethings can be healed with a physical connection. Somethings cannot. I could write an entire book on marriage and never touch on every component. In this post I was speaking to the power and importance of physical connection. Sex was a gift created by God not only for reproduction but for our pleasure and connection. I would be bold enough to say our physical connection is a way to bring God glory for the amazing detail he put into us. But that is an entirely different post. I know those are difficult words to read for someone who has been hurt by a sexual encounter. I grieve so deeply with you. I can’t imagine the pain you feel but I know God is in the business of healing those exact hurts.

There are many levels of marriage difficulty. Feeling the spark slipping and a marriage in full crisis are very different. But both those marriages and every marriage in between needs Jesus. It’s my goal to allow God to speak through me encouragement for women in every stage of life and every level of difficulty.

I’m grateful for those who message me and ask questions. Those who see things from a different perspective. I welcome your messages, as it helps me clarify what God has given me to say.
