Taking this from my Facebook post last night. It is sad that my last post on this website was from a “high” after attending a marriage conference.

“So I throw up my hands and praise You again and again
’Cause all that I have is a hallelujah, hallelujah
And I know it’s not much, but I’ve nothin’ else fit for a King
Except for a heart singin’, ‘Hallelujah, hallelujah.’”

“Who am I that You keep me on Your mind?”

These words have been meeting me exactly where I am. Some days, all I can do is throw my hands up and offer a hallelujah. And the second line, “who am I that You keep me on Your mind”, has been especially grounding. The reminder that even in uncertainty, we are known, seen, and cared for by God is powerful.

I know many of you have seen Meghan’s posts about our separation and divorce. This is the first time I’ve said anything publicly, and I felt it was time to share where I am.

This was not a quick or impulsive decision. Over the course of our 14 year marriage, we’ve been in therapy for at least seven years, earnestly trying to do the work and make things healthier for everyone involved.

There is a lot that’s unknown right now, with many moving parts and many people affected, especially the kids. I’m thankful that Meghan and I are able to remain cordial and focused on what matters most.

In the middle of all of this, I’m deeply thankful for a job I love and for family, coworkers and others who have been incredibly supportive during a difficult season.

If you’re the praying type, I’d appreciate prayers for us and for the kids as we navigate what’s ahead.

As for me, I’m choosing to lean on God, hands raised, heart open, one hallelujah at a time.
