6 verses to pray for your husband
The other day I went to Starbuck’s to meet a young lady named “Holly”. We had arranged the meeting over the phone, so I told her I’d have a sparkly blue hat so she could find me. I arrived and decided to secure seats since it was very crowded, then got a cup of coffee to sip while I waited for her to arrive. While I was in line, the seat right next to the two I had claimed was taken by an older gentleman. I got my coffee and sat down to think through the points I wanted to be sure to cover with Holly, but God and “Joe” had other plans for me.
Every year Kindergarten screening makes me think how very much like the five-year-olds I am. Let me explain what I mean.

Somethings you wear what you want to drink . . . or at least that’s what I was beginning to think when I recently got a new coffee tumbler. My old one was suffering from random drips so I opted for a new one that was made a bit differently. The old one allowed you to drink with the tumbler in any direction . . . a full 360 degree experience.

Without a handle or any other reference point I was guaranteed to pick the mug up and inadvertently pour it down my cheek as I tried to drink. Perhaps I am just inept, Continue reading “Aligning Conversations”
Proverbs 22:1 “A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold.”

You’d think that would be easier than it actually is. Continue reading “Measuring Myself”
Okay, so I had this thought all planned out and everything has been settling in my mind for the past few day; then today happened. Have you ever had one of those days that just challenges you on every single front? That was my day today, and suddenly being “inspirational” about anything didn’t seem so reasonable.

I’ve been called a lot of of things – old fashioned, prudish, and unwise. Some have even made the comment that they didn’t realize anyone actually lived like my husband and I do. I’m not talking about anything super-natural, but on the other hand, maybe I am; I’m talking about living your marriage according to Biblical principles. Continue reading “A Woman’s Role”
I have really been struggling with having a submissive attitude the past few weeks. The key word there is attitude. I know that submission to my husband is designed by God and as such is good; the problem is Continue reading “Submission”
I saw something the other night as I was rushing out of the grocery store that God used to speak to me. As I was hurrying out with my few needed ingredients, a mother and her small child (about 18-24 months) were coming into the store. The mother was young, maybe late teens or early twenties, and most likely feeling the press for time just like I was; Continue reading “Walk Slowly”
Yesterday I was reading in Acts chapter 5 and I was struck (again) with the most human emotions! Specifically, I was reading the part where Ananias and Sapphira were struck dead. Let me back up and give you the run-down of this story so that my initial reaction makes a bit more sense, after all, it always feels good to justify yourself. Continue reading “Choices”
