Another resounding YES from me! It is wonderful for me as a newlywed to learn from your valuable experience. I really appreciate your honesty. I think that acknowledging our vulnerability as human beings is key to encouraging each other, and not to feel like we have failed and all is lost if we don`t live perfectly (which of course none of us can).

And Justin, I was actually having the exact same "is it worth it" thought the very day you commented on my blog saying you appreciated it! It`s so true that it`s worth it even if we encourage only one person.

First to Michelle, it is SO worth it to do the work ahead of you and your husband. It can be done and the rewards are wonder-FULL! And to Justin and Trisha, I'll go beyond saying it's worth it to say you two are doing exactly what we should all be doing: bearing one another's burdens and sharing our testimony. These are the life blood of a vibrant, growing and powerful Christian community. And the world is desperate to see it in action.

WOW! I came today to see if you left a comment in response to my prayer request last Friday and not only did you respond that you are praying for us, but I see a post in which you questioned if it is worth it and my comment was just an example of how ultimately you believe it is worth it. God is so good and I just can't get over how big He is. He led me to this site almost a month ago and trust me, I would have never thought that I'd be coming back to ask for prayers and looking for hope. But I am so thankful that God led me here and helped me find my way back when I needed it. You are making such an impact in the lives of so many and you all give me hope when I need it. I am thankful that I can come here to read about others who have faced this trial and give me hope on the days that I feel hopeless. Less than a week after finding out about my husband's affair, I can say that I am thankful that it happened. I am watching as my husband's heart is softening and I know that God can turn our pain into something beautiful. I know it will take a lot of work, but today I am hopeful and optimistic. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your pain to help others! Please don't ever doubt that it is worth it. God is doing great things through you. You are making a difference.

I read this today and thought of this post…back to back days of knuckles to the back of my head…needed it.

2 Corinthians 4:16 (The Message)

16-18So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever.

I too have been following your blog for some time and have thought, "Wow they are doing something great! Something so needed." Not thinking that I would be the one in need.

I too found out my husband had an affair over the weekend. We have a young baby and I am devastated. Because of your testimony, I have hope that we too can survive by the grace of God.
