A few weeks ago, I conducted a survey to determine what some of our greatest triggers are as wives that get us thinking in a downward spiral of sinful thoughts. Of those who answered, here are the results (please remember that ladies could vote for as many of these as are triggers for them):… Continue reading Triggers for Sinful Thoughts

The Importance of Spiritual Pruning
About half of this tree’s branches have completely broken in the past few years. You can see some hanging down that are broken and some big branches on the ground, and you can see how messed up the shape of the tree is toward the top half because of all the broken limbs. Some interesting… Continue reading The Importance of Spiritual Pruning
Can We Have God AND Reject His Word?
I often receive comments from people who say they are Christians. They go to church. They may even tithe. They believe in God. They say they believe in Jesus. But then they say, “The Bible is not supposed to be taken literally. It doesn’t apply to anyone today. You can’t live by the Bible! You… Continue reading Can We Have God AND Reject His Word?
“If I Only Had This, I Would Be Happy!”
Ladies, I thought you might be interested in this post on my other blog for our single sisters. It goes along very well with what we have been talking about – things we want and things we think about that can trigger us to begin to fall into sin. I pray this might challenge each… Continue reading “If I Only Had This, I Would Be Happy!”
Am I Trapped by Material Things?
Materialism is something we have ALL been marinating in all of our lives.

I am not sure how available I can be right now for comments. Y’all are welcome to comment as much as… Continue reading Some Things are Unconditional – Some Are Not

“I May Never Have Worldly Beauty”
From Peacefulwife: I didn’t feel beautiful or feminine at all when I was growing up. My twin sister was “the girly one.” I was the tomboy. In upper elementary and junior high school, I got made fun of often for my glasses, my pale skin, the red dots on my legs and my… Continue reading “I May Never Have Worldly Beauty”
The Snare of People-Pleasing
This is an issue so many of us have… Thought it might be a good time to bring it up again. 🙂
Prayer Day – Am I Holding Anything Back?
The only way to experience all of the spiritual riches Jesus has already provided for us through His death, burial and resurrection for us – is when we completely yield ourselves in total submission to Him as Lord of our lives. It is very counterintuitive. The world says that submission to God is slavery, bondage… Continue reading Prayer Day – Am I Holding Anything Back?
