Whew getting my blog in under the wire today, oh boy!

Today I got a little bit written, and in the scene leading up to this Valerie (or was it Jack? hmm) ask how they can forgive themselves. After Jack kisses her, he tells her, he believes that maybe if they keep God in the middle of their marriage, that’s the key to healing and forgiving themselves.

Up until this point, she hadn’t known that Jack got saved! It’s something she had hoped and prayed for, and she knew many had been praying for Jack. She had planned on still making their marriage work, because when they were married neither of them were saved, it wasn’t until after Holly was born that that happened for Valerie. But now that she does know, it makes her happier to know this, and she’s even more in love with him, because the Jack she grew up with questioned the existence of a living God, and if He did exist, Jack thought He was cruel.

I am loving writing these two love story, redemption, finding themselves and each other again. I feel like I can feel her love for Jack coming off the pages. In Valerie’s eyes, she couldn’t be more in love with him, than she is right now. 🩷

As I was typing that last part, the song “Right Now” by Van Halen came to me! So here it is! 🙂
