Hi Susan, I'm a friend of Katie's. I just want to tell you how much you inspire me, Katie is super lucky to have a sister like you. I have signed up for a 5k run and saw that you completed your first run with the help of a wonderful iPhone app that im now using too. Congrats on all of your wonderful achievements, keep your head up and your eyes focused on what you are doing best (being YOU!). I am a new follower, I can't wait to keep in touch:o)

Once again, you have such a touching way with your words. Just beautiful! I have said it before, but I'll say it again. I'm so amazed and proud of how far you've come in those last 7months. You are so much stronger then you even know, and because God is by your side and you trust in him so much, nothing can stay in your way.
Your story reminds me a bit of my SIL. She dated this guy for a few yrs and they got engaged. She set the date, bought the dress, only for him to break up the engagement the day after she sent out all the invitations. She was heart broken and so lost. But just a few months later she met someone else, and after dating for only 8months, they got married. They've been married for 12yrs now and couldn't be happier. She always says that God knew exactly what he was doing the entire time, even though she had a hard time seeing and believing it due to all the hurt.
You're amazing, and God has such an awesome plan for you. I just can't wait to see it all come together. I'm beyond excited for you my friend :-)

I love you. You are such an inspiration!

I'm going to a wedding on the 15th and when the couple told me the date, my first thought was of you. No lie.

You have come so far in many areas of your life! Only good things a head :)

I am so glad that the pain is somewhat gone. So so glad.

You are stronger. You are. And despite how raw and broken you felt for a long time, somehow, some way this all just made a more beautiful you. I look up to you so much. And we will still celebrate YOU on that day, because, good lord, girlie, LOOK HOW FAR YOU'VE COME personally! You rock.

Wonderful post, Susan.

I totally agree that any loss like that (not just death) requires a grieving process.

About ten years ago, my cousin's fiance called off their wedding (six weeks before the wedding... the day after they sent out the invitations...... jerk). I already had a plane ticket to go out there for the two and a half weeks prior to the wedding.... and, the rest of my family had tickets for that long weekend. She was surpisingly calm about the whole thing. However, on what was supposed to be the Big Day, we had a total girls' day.

If you don't already have plans, make some!! Make the day YOUR day :) You've made such a transformation over the past 7 months.... you deserve to celebrate YOU!!!

Such a great post! I've never thought about ho...

Such a great post! I've never thought about how painful it must be to grieve an engagement as the wedding date approaches :( But I can kinda relate, because it seems to be an awful lot like approaching your due date after a miscarriage. Hopefully, after that day passes, you'll have even MORE peace :) I'm sorry for your pain but so thankful that the Lord continues to refine you into His image!

And? Looooove me some Spurgeon. He's my all-time FAVE!
