What My Love Learned from the Story of Moses

What My Love Learned from the Story of Moses

If you’ve been following our story, you know my love has been growing spiritually and I promised to talk more about it soon.  Today is the last day of our 90 day therapeutic separation so it seems like a great time to celebrate what God has been doing.  Our Bible reading plan through those first […]

Growing Faith and Moving Mountains

Growing Faith and Moving Mountains

Well, we’re halfway through (March 2017) the 90 day therapeutic separation.  I thought it would be a good idea to give a little update because God has been doing some big stuff, moving mountains everywhere we look!  We ended up changing a few of the parameters to the plan after about a week.  I’d like […]

Your Sexually Addicted Spouse – A Book Review

Book Review - Your Sexually Addicted Spouse

I have just read, Your Sexually Addicted Spouse: How Partners Can Cope and Heal, by Barbara Steffens, PhD, LPCC, and Marsha Means, MA.

The Next Ninety Days - Beginning Our Therapeutic Separation

* What you read below is what I wrote in February 2017, on the night Steve moved out to start our 90-day time apart. God taught us a lot during this time, and if you keep reading through the posts in the “Our Story” category you’ll get to see how God worked. As we’ve worked […]

Telling Our Backstory

Telling Our Backstory

Our story is important. We have been incredibly blessed by the work of God in and through us, and for those going through the traumas and trials of affair recovery it can serve as an encouraging beacon of hope. But to really tell it right, I think it’s important to go back to the very […]

How it all Started

How it all started

* This was the original about me page on my blog, His Dearly Loved Daughter. It’s the first post I wrote back in January of 2017. A lot has changed since then, so I feel I need to explain some things for those who are new to our story. For one thing, I don’t use […]
