Dearest Debra,

I’ve been using your products for awhile but just now came upon your story. My heart breaks for you and your kids, but rejoices at our Father’s provision. Thank you for your transparency. I look forward to reading the next chapters of your story as God writes them.

I’m really enjoying the winter home journal organization pages you sent to subsribers. They were so cute they inspired me to get going with my new year organization. I’m very much looking forward to the Spring ones! The artwork is great…makes me smile!

I will be praying for you and your family. May God pour out many surprise blessings on you this year.

Hi Lindy,

I updated the links in the blog post. I use the ProClick P50 Model. It’s about $50-60. Amazon used to offer a great package deal with the spines, but they discontinued it last I checked.

This is very helpful, I’d find this very useful and a lot better than what we use. Please can you tell us which Proclick Binder machine you recommend? I went onto Amazon, but it’s confusing cos there are so many models. Thanks so much.

Debra,
Thanks so much for sharing this! I know this has been such a difficult year for you, and it had to be so painful to share so openly what you have been going through. Nonetheless, THANK YOU! In my circle of friends, we have been discussing the need in the church to be transparent with each other and share each others burdens – completely! That means someone has to open up about their life. This can be scary, especially in such a public way. I’m so proud of you for doing this. Keep us posted. There are many who desire to pray for you, and want to know how you are doing.

I have been reading your information on notebooking with earnest and only today realized you have a blog. I’d sent you an email through your business contact, however after reading this post and all you’ve been going through, I will be praying for you in a new way. God is faithful and He heals the broken hearted. In no way do I say that in a trite way…I believe it with all my heart.

Hi Debra-
I’ve thought of you so often since you shared your story. My prayers are with you. After much prayer, I decided to share my story as well.

In case you want to hear you’re not alone in your ordeal:

Your last paragraph is so true, and I thank you for your boldness in sharing your trial, your tribulation, and your faith in God through it all. Indeed, we only harm one another and ourselves when we hide behind our masks of perfection!! It is devastating to hear of yet another Christian marriage that has been attacked so vilely. We have an enemy, and he aims to destroy. I will be praying for you and your children, that God would continue to show Himself faithful, and for your spouse, that God would break through the lies, deception, and sin, and bring him to true repentance. May God be glorified in you and through you!

Grace and Peace,
Angel

Dear Debra,
Add mine to the list of devastated marriages. I’m in the midst of the turmoil as I write to you. My husband has been gone for 7 months this week. While God has shown Himself faithful to me during every minute of this time, it’s still so hard to imagine what is to come. The deceit is so hard to live with! I know that God knows all that I don’t. I know that we’ll be taken care of by Him regardless. God will be glorified one way or the other, and in that I find my peace.

As mother’s we life to safe-guard our children from harm and can do nothing to stop the pain inflicted by their fathers. I told my 10yo son that if he learns nothing else in all this painful journey, I hope he’ll see that his mama trusted God. God gave me this scripture yesterday: “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
(Isa 43:18-19)

God bless you and your children. My prayers are with you. You are not alone.

Grace in the journey,
Melissa

God Bless you and your children! I’m so sorry for the pain you’ve all experienced, but thank you for your willingness to be open. I know you will help many people who need someone who’s “been there.” May God completely heal your hearts and faithfully lead you forward. He’s so good!
