    CHANGE ME LORD

    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…

    HIS PRESENCE IN OUR LIFE

    I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine. (Song of Solomon 6:3) I wait for the phone to ring, to hear his voice, and to know he’s okay. I wait to hear the door unlock and to hear a sigh of relief. Those are the things that I wait for each night. My husband is a State Trooper (they’re called State Police in some states). Anyone can be gone in a blink of an eye, but it seems those in Law Enforcement or the Military can go sooner. Some nights if I don’t hear from him when his shifts…

    ADORNING OUR CHARACTER

    Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. (I Peter 3:-3-4) These days most movies or television shows portray the husband as a joke. Other television shows or movies portray a fighting husband or wife. It’s not hard to see that our society does not value authority or marriage. Women are degrading and men are disrespected. It’s sad and heartbreaking really. What God…

    IMITATING CHRIST IN OUR MARRIAGE

    “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.” (Ephesians 5:1) As a Mama to little boys, I’m the first wife role model they see. Children are so impressionable, especially at an early age. Their little minds are blank, waiting to be filled with good or bad. We have a chance to impact them with our marriage and honor God. As wives, we have to remember our children are watching every move we make.   Both our sons and daughters are looking at our relationship with our husbands to see how we treat them. They will imitate what they see us…

    INVISIBLE WAR- TRUSTING GOD WITH WHAT WE CANNOT SEE AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND

    In Exodus God makes it clear that HE is in control. The hardening of Pharaoh’s heart was so that His strength and might would be known and that His people would learn to fear no circumstance or army, but only Him. Often times we find ourselves in a situation that looks hopeless and we start to question why God has brought us here or why is this happening to me. “Why must we be faced with such trying circumstances?” When God told me to go back home to my husband and fight for my marriage; I was excited at what He…
