It is a VERY tough position to be in to want to be close to God, to want to obey God and to feel like you can’t follow your husband. You may long for him to lead a family devotion time, or prayer time. You may want him to be the one to tell […]

Bonding in a Meaningful Way with our Husbands
God designed men to need and love to have hobbies. They need time to recharge and prepare for “slaying the dragons” all day at work like Dr. Laura likes to say. Men love keeping up with all the stats on their favorite teams, racecar drivers, and with all the latest technological gadgets, and hunting and […]
"MY Man Doesn’t Deserve my Respect!!!!"
If this is how you feel about God’s concept of respecting your husband – YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! You know, probably just about every wife on the planet feels this way at some point in her marriage (or every day in some cases!) And it’s a legitimate statement that husbands don’t always deserve respect from […]
Prayer 2-15-2012
Lord, Thank You for the gift of this glorious day! Help us to be still before You and lift up our heads to see Your holiness, Your power, Your sovereignty over the universe. You alone are God! There is no other. You alone are worthy of our praise and worship. You are the King of […]
Before and After Pictures of My Soul

There is something amazing about being able to witness huge visual/aesthetic improvements in a place or a person. Here I am going to give you some “before and after” pictures from my own soul. […]

A Different Kind of Valentine's Card
Valentine’s paraphernalia is everywhere at Wal-Mart and all the grocery and drug stores- it’s hard to miss! And there are lots of great lovey-dovey cards that appeal to women. But what about the guys? A love note doesn’t usually speak to a man’s soul the way that it would to a woman’s, but the greeting […]
Being a Cheerful Receiver
Think about the people you know who are fun to give to. I have to give kudos to my 5 year old daughter’s teacher at school- she is one of the best gift-receivers I have ever seen! When someone gets excited about a gift she receives, it is FUN to give to that person. This […]
Prayer for 2012
Lord, Thank You for this precious new year- a time of renewal and a time to think about our priorities and habits, our strengths and weaknesses. Lay our hearts open before Your Spirit. Probe each dark corner of our souls with the piercing light of Your Word. Reveal every sin to us, Lord! Let each […]
Marriage Seminar "7 Basic Needs of a Wife and 7 Basic Needs of a Husband"
My husband and I began attending a class at our church tonight taught by one of my favorite Bible teachers, Harold Weaver. I wish this class went on for about 7 hours- it is so fascinating to me! But tonight we only got to the first need of a wife. I am paraphrasing, but it […]
