isn't it funny how one phrase can make you or break you.
words are a powerful thing. they can corrupt a soul or encourage a heart. i've found that a few words my wife said when she was leaving haunt me every couple months. it's like what she said is becoming my identity.
when i was a young boy i can remember doubting myself and not feeling good enough. i never measured up to other kids so i always pushed myself to be the best at everything. soccer, music, even as a pastor in the church. i grew out of it after high school and really believed in myself and my gifts.
then i got married and all that confidence left me. guess that tells me my confidence was in other people. or at least what people said and did to make me feel confident. for three years during marriage encouragement was absent. and when we split she left me with not good things about myself but things that tore into the depths of my weakness. as unfortunate as it is, that's how i'll remember my first wife. cheers darling.

Words do hurt but they also heal. The sad thing is that when we finally do say cheers to the spouses its because of those harsh words.
That Sucks..
I hope were all able to one day find that relationship that we can call 'home'. No matter where you are with that person in your life its 'home', a place of encouragement, adventure, love and peace. I know its out there somewhere for each of us and I hope down the road you will be able to find it for yourself. Sleep well tonight.
Hi, it's my first time in your blog.
When I read those words I start thinkin' to what kind of guy r u.
Really romantic?
Kisses.
Chiara.
hello, friend.
its beks. i miss the old days sometimes. when we were all young and pretty darn innocent (sort of) or at least naive. in some ways it was nice -- but in some way not-quite-real. justin, in the middle of what seems like a mess, some things are the same and never change.
you still have a hope and a future. and hope is an amazing thing.
well, and of course, you always have a friend. wish you would make a drive down to shelbyville.
