The Heartache and the Healing is a story of how God led me through the "valley of the shadow of death." You will read about how He spoke to me through brokenness, healing, redemption, and freedom in the midst of my husband's extramarital affair. You will walk through the darkest moments of my life, see the trauma that occurred to our entire family, hear the forgiveness, and climb to the glorious mountaintop God carried us to. You'll see how prayer and faith can change not only you, but your spouse; how to let go and let God take control; how to submit to Christ; how to set healthy boundaries and not walls that can't be torn down. This book details how to recognize the problems in your life when it seems like the obvious problem is just the other person. You'll learn how to be your spouse's cheerleader. In addition to giving practical Biblical advice for the betrayed spouse, you'll find helpful tips for the betrayer, extended family, friends, counselors, and even your children. It displays the influence one can have from recognizing the power of Christ within oneself. Christ instilled in me that spirit of power, love and a sound mind! Trust me, if He can do it in this stubborn, little woman, He can do it in anybody. I pray this book will build your faith so you will see that miracles still happen!
