“I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of; for to have been born in God’s thought, and then made by God is the dearest, grandest, and most precious thing in all thinking.” – C.S. Lewis

A Wife’s Prayer For Her Husband

A Wife’s Prayer For Her Husband.

God,

Thank you for your unconditional love for me.  I am so undeserving, yet you pursue me daily!  Thank you for your grace and for your perfect provision.  I am so blessed and grateful for my life and for my husband’s life.   Thank for trusting us with each other’s hearts, blessing us with the covenant of marriage. You have given us an opportunity to love each other unconditionally and sometimes that is hard to do, but I ask Lord that you would help us to love like you love.  Please show me how to be a joyful wife, a compassionate wife, a humble wife, and a truly forgiving wife. I pray for wisdom. I pray that you would equip both my husband and I with whatever we are lacking so that we may bless each other and be a beautiful example of a healthy marriage to other couples. Help me to understand that my expectations for my husband may never be met, that he is human and capable of sin.  Give me a discerning spirit and the courage to speak truth into my husband’s life, which will encourage him.  Keep words of disappointment and regret, lies from the enemy, far from me. Lord, if insert husband’s name } is struggling with anything, specifically { insert a struggle } please remove it from him.  Heal my husband and give him a strong desire to seek after you.  I pray that he is the spiritual leader of our family that you have called him to be.  May your characteristics manifest in him as he grows in his relationship with you. God I ask that you would protect our marriage, keeping Satan and his ways far from our family.  Holy Spirit, walk with my husband today, call out his name and reveal yourself to him.  I pray that our love for each other continues to grow deeper and deeper every day.  Please grant us time to spend intimately with one another, and especially time and desire to pray with and over one another! I pray for restoration in our marriage!  May you be at the center of our marriage FOREVER and EVER!  Reigning in our hearts, motivating our love and guiding our actions! In Jesus Name AMEN!

Mommy Journal

I’ve been writing a Mommy Journal including some of the cute and funny things that has happened  throughout the eight years of my son’s life.  And I want to make it into a book and give it to him when he get’s older.  Here are some of my writings:
2012  There was one night when we were laying in bed and my husband was telling my son  about the time when his aunt (my sister) got chased in her underwear by my mom with a belt around the cul-da-sac, I think she had said a bad word.  My husband said “I think we all should go outside in our underwear and run around the neighborhood” and my son said “then mommy would be a sexy grill (that’s how he says girl)”.  And I said “Did you hear that, I’d be a sexy grill”. Yup that was our bedtime story.
Feb 12, 2013  For my son’s homework today, I had to write in his words if he’d like to live in the white house and why or why not? Just a reminder that the white house has 132 rooms, an indoor pool, a theater, a gym, and a library. So his response was “I would like to live in the white house because it has everything. And only if my mommy and daddy live there too. And I’d have to take my games and system, all my legos, my snack cabinet, and refrigerator”.
