    Amazing Grace

    August 7, 2015 - By 

    Amazing Grace…… I’m doing a Bible study on Monday nights called “First Love” by J.D. Greear, with some awesome ladies at my house.  In the study Pastor J.D. Greear says, “There are no marriage issues, there are only individual issues that are revealed within the marriage.” The specific sin my husband is bound by probably didn’t seem like a big deal in his singleness, but as a husband it became a huge deal; one that keeps pulling him down. Live with another sinner long enough and you will see their sin. It will be ugly. It will cause pain. It…

    WHO WE ARE

    April 15, 2015 - By 

    IDENTITY: Who someone is; the name of a person. The qualities, beliefs, etc., that make a particular person or group different from others. Our identity is who we are; it makes up our character. So many things come into play when one’s identity is being formed. Genetics, birth place, beliefs, social relationships and friends etc. It determines how we view ourselves, how we think about ourselves. I have struggled with my identity since I was a teenager, which usually meant I was always taking on the identity of my closest friend or group of friends at the time. I would…

    INSPIRED

    March 12, 2015 - By 

    Back in December I wrote a post about wanting to be a gift for my husband. After our Proverbs 31 bible study I truly was excited to put into action the attributes of this wife and mother. Her children rise up and call her blessed her husband also, and he praises her; (Proverb 31:28) My husband and I are in a rough transitional season, and it’s hard. All we have become accustomed to is gone pretty much and we await for opened doors from the Lord. There has been more than one opportunity for us to fight, disagree, and become bitter…

    RENEW YOUR MIND

    January 30, 2015 - By 

    I struggle to rest, to trust, and to let my husband lead. I struggle to not be discouraged. I want to take charge, when my husband’s behavior isn’t lining up with my ideals, or when he isn’t moving as quickly as I’d like or think he should. I have an expected game plan already in my head and when his will goes against it my “independent women” motto of “I’ll do it myself” comes out. Know what that is……….F.E.A.R Which is directly related to me allowing my spiritual life to fall by the way side in the middle of craziness.…

    CHANGE ME LORD

    December 26, 2014 - By 

    Christmas is a time of celebration where I get so excited! I absolutely love this holiday because we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, but also because God has truly been changing my heart throughout this whole year. I was so excited to “give” during Christmas! In particular, there is one gift I really want to work on giving my husband this year… ME!   The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the LORD – Proverbs 18:22 I have spent a lot of time praying the prayer “Change him Lord,” maybe…
