Because Sometimes Life Breaks Your Heart

There aren't good or funny introductions for this kind of thing, but Zach and I are divorced. And I don't know what to say about it, other than the fact that I've grown a lot through the experience.

I can, however, share some of the things I've learned:

I'm stronger than I think.
I have a lot of supportive people around me.
We have a loving god.
I can have fun by myself.
I can enjoy my life on my own... and still look forward to enjoying it with someone else.

I'm in a place of peace. The heartache has mostly passed.

  4. I am sorry I didn't know sooner. I know it is a very difficult transition, but I also know that if you trust in the Lord, He will help you through anything. I am so proud of you for your determination to finish school and to do all you can to build your strength and resolve.

    Years ago, when we spent a weekend at your grandparents' house, we picked green beans and talked to Kyle about trials and endurance and he bore powerful testimony about the purpose of trials and the Lord's ability and desire to bless us through them. I have held on to that conversation ever since. I know that no matter what happens, our Father is watching over us and will help us learn and grow and develop greater strength and resilience. I pray that you will continue to feel His hand in your life.

    Love, Rachel
