Healing Your Marriage When Trust Is Broken.

“You never forget the day that changes your life forever. The day that turns your heart and your family upside down.”

And, those are the first words my good friend, Cindy Beall, pens in her book, Healing Your Marriage When Trust is Broken. I know Cindy and her husband, Chris. I’ve sat around their dinner table. I’ve eaten Cindy’s amazing black bean salsa and steak fajitas. I’ve spent hours shopping with her helping her pick out the perfect pair of denim. ‘Cause she is understands a good pair of jeans is from the Lord. So, what I’m saying is….I know her story.

And, it’s the most amazing story of redemption in a marriage I’ve ever personally known.

But, it’s one thing to know her story. It’s another thing to read it. To read the brutal transparency of what her heart looked like after Chris confessed he had been unfaithful. To read the shock. The betrayal. The shattered dream.

And, then to read the forgiveness. The healing. The restoration. The marriage that God made better than new.

If you think your marriage is unrecoverable. If you wonder if you will ever be able to trust again. If you have lost all hope….

Cindy’s book will inspire you to believe otherwise.

She will win your heart with her honesty. And, she will help you write your own story of redemption.

I’m hearin’ ya, God.

I have tried to think of any other post than this one to write. I thought I could write on how my roots are now a brilliantly colored blonde….or just less disturbing to the natural eye. Or, I could write about how I saved my family money once again by shopping at Crest Foods. Or, how Anna is learning not to respond to adults with “Isn’t there someone else you can go talk to?”

But, I just can’t write about any of those things. Not today.

Let’s start with honesty.

I’ve lived in Oklahoma for a little over five years now. Some days I do it kicking and screaming. Other days, I am okay. Reality is….I miss Georgia. Not really the state itself, although we do have trees there. I miss my family. I miss the covenant relationships I have with so many wonderful friends. I miss Eagles Way Church. I miss ministering there.

I do well most days. But, then I struggle immensely other days.

My sweet friend, Cindy Beall, posted this blog the other day. I haven’t been able to shake these words from her blog since:

GROW WHERE YOU’RE PLANTED.

How can Dusty Takle fulfill the call of God on her life when she isn’t allowing herself to grow where she is planted?

And, why is she speaking in third person?

Well, I’ve made a decision to do just that. To grow wherever I am. In whatever situation I’m in. In whatever climate I’m dressing for.

Because, I don’t want to miss God.

That’s how I feel today. Tomorrow, I might need a pep talk. Today, I’m okay.

Grow where you’re planted. Cindy writes, “I am confident that God will meet you where you are.”

And, He just might use you to do great things.

A Candid Look Into Porn

I don’t struggle with porn personally. But, I know many do.

I struggle with the fact that pornography is something so few of us talk about. I struggle with how it has destroyed marriages, hurt children, and shattered lives.

It’s such a taboo subject that men and women don’t feel comfortable discussing their addiction to porn. Sometimes, not even with his or her accountability partner.

But, there is hope.

I want to encourage every single one of you to read Cindy Beall’s very personal story on how pornography affected her marriage. And, how God restored it.

And, remember, God’s restoration is not restoring something to as it was, but rather restoring it to what He created it to be.

Please, take the time to read Cindy’s story. Her transparency will inspire you and her testimony will give you hope.

You can also read Cindy’s book here.

We serve a God who heals, redeems, and restores.
