There was a time in my life when my husband's words were all I needed to feel secure. His "I love you's" at night made my sleep pleasantly peaceful. But sin changes things! As my husband recounted a secret side of him I had never met, my innocent trust began crumbling. Within seconds his words no longer had value to me.

When my son was diagnosed with cancer, I began to live with the reality of what cancer was capable of doing. I knew that this disease could create havoc in my son’s body. The idea of not having control over how the cancer was going to spread or the damage it would do to Seth was almost too much for me to handle.

In the same way for the past 4 years I have lived, constantly aware that at any moment my husband could choose his path of sin again. Just like I had no control over cancer’s destructive path, I also have no control over the choices of my husband.
