Praying for Our Husbands

There are so many things we should be doing in our everyday life that get pushed aside but praying for our husband's should not be one of them.

I admit that this is something that I struggle with...well praying in general on most days.

I learned how to pray for my husband years ago in the early days of our marriage. First you pray for yourself, not selfishly but confessing your sins, asking for healing in areas that need it, and then asking for help in the areas you are struggling. Then after that you can pray for your husband.

Why are we suppose to pray this way? Well, because we need to have a clean heart to pray honestly for our husbands and not selfishly.

We have to remember to ask God to clean our hearts, to help us become the wife he wants us to be, to change our hearts towards our husbands, to help us to love him unconditionally right where he is.

Once our hearts are right then we pray for our husbands hearts. To give him strength to deal with the struggles he's facing, to give him wisdom in leading the household, and if changes are a desire of yours then to ask God to help your husband change in His ways not your own.

A wife's prayers have so much power when backed by God. We are the ones that have the biggest influence when we pray because he is "united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one." (Matthew 19:5,6) We are the only ones that are closely united to our husbands.

I'm entering a season of life where I'm committing to praying. Praying for my husband and children first and foremost. I'm using the books "The Power of a Praying Wife", "The Power of a Praying Parent" and of course the Bible, to assist me in getting started. Please join in me praying for our families and let's share what changes we see as we go through this season!

My power verse for this week of praying for my hubby...

Whatever thing you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.
Mark 11:24, 25

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...
