Image from Fanpop I have the vision to see the hero deep inside of my husband – the man God desires him to be and created him to be – and how, by God’s power working in me (and in him) and my respect and cooperation, he can fully become that hero of a man. Everyone else may just see a… Continue reading From Clark Kent to Superman

Praying in FAITH Not Fear
Many of you know that I used to pray up to 4 hours per day on my days off earlier in our marriage (before we had children, of course!). Most of that time, I spent praying for God to change my husband. I thought I was engaging in something very godly and spiritual back then.… Continue reading Praying in FAITH Not Fear
“God, Don’t Waste My Time…”

We may start to get bitter and angry with God that things are not going the way we think they should. If… Continue reading “God, Don’t Waste My Time…”
Praying Scripture

Be Still
This is my calling from God right now. Be still and know that I am God.

My… Continue reading Am I Really Justified?

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”… Continue reading Prayer Day – Relationships Take Time
Prayer Day – Praying with Humility
Quotes from E.M. Bounds about humility – “The Essentials of Prayer” chapter 2 To be humble… is to be modest, lowly, with a disposition to seek obscurity. Humility keeps itself from the public gaze. It does not seek publicity or hunt for high places – and it does not care for prominence… It never exalts… Continue reading Prayer Day – Praying with Humility
Are You Just, Um, Well…..Better Than Him?
When you look at your husband, do you feel like you are a lot more spiritual than he does? Maybe you even believe you are better than him? If so, this post is for you!
