From a wife and sister in the Lord, Veronica Alejar, from the Philippines – with her permission: I used to think that I “had it all”. I was a TV news anchor/mother of 3/wife/businesswoman-baker, etc. etc. People always stopped to ask how I could multi-task and well, have it all!

Humility is Beautiful
A HUGE key to a successful and intimate relationship with God or with my husband is my own humility. My sinful and arrogant pride (thinking I know best, I know better than God, I know better than my husband, I have greater wisdom than anyone else) repels my husband, God and everyone else around me!… Continue reading Humility is Beautiful

Happy 19th Anniversary, Greg!
Greg and I were married on May 28, 1994 at 3:00pm. We had over 300 people crowded into our home church near Columbia, SC, where Greg’s dad was the pastor and he performed a beautiful ceremony for us. We had NO CLUE what was ahead. How I wish that I had understood then what I… Continue reading Happy 19th Anniversary, Greg!
I Need Some Help, Please!

Time for a Pop Quiz
The phone rings. It’s unexpected bad news. What goes through your mind first? YESTERDAY: I got a call from my boss. My hours are being cut from 12 guaranteed hours/week (sometimes I work up to 20-23 hours/week as a pharmacist) to 3 hours/week in 2 weeks. Totally unexpected. We are still waiting to hear if… Continue reading Time for a Pop Quiz

But now, I know that if I were to meet Jesus today – I know that… Continue reading Biblical Submission and a Minivan
God’s Design for Marriage
Let’s get back to basics. Here is God’s pattern for marriage – which is the basis of my blog: Ephesians 5:22-33 New International Version (NIV) 22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of… Continue reading God’s Design for Marriage
Balance? Moderation?? ME????
MY BIGGEST FAN Greg (the Respected Husband) is my #1 fan. He has been behind me with this whole blog thing from before day 1. Almost a year before I started Peacefulwife – he wanted me to start teaching other wives what God had taught me. He is extremely supportive of me as a wife,… Continue reading Balance? Moderation??
