Husbands Are Never “the Absolute Authority”
I don’t want anyone to be unclear about this!!!! God is the only absolute authority. God’s Word, the Bible, speaks for God. It is authoritative over our lives.

He was talking about God’s righteous jealousy and God’s holy wrath in the podcast I listened to today. And I want to be… Continue reading Righteous Jealousy and Anger
Please, God! Ask Me for Anything But This!
From a dear single sister in Christ who is in her thirties, I so appreciate her willingness to share her story – and I believe that what God showed her is something He wants to show each of us as His followers: I remember when God asked me to give up my dreams. “Okay God,… Continue reading Please, God!

A Fellow Wife Thinks about Giving Space
We are continuing to talk about giving our husbands space. (When Your Man Needs Space– was Monday’s post.) I know this won’t apply to every marriage dynamic for every wife. But I have a feeling there are a lot of you for whom this topic is a difficult one and a relevant one right now.… Continue reading A Fellow Wife Thinks about Giving Space
