Book Study: Created to be His Help Meet Chapter 1


The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him".... So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep...he took one of the man's ribs.... Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
Genesis 2:18, 21-22


We were created to be our man's helper! It's a great thing to be because when we help our husbands, we are helping him complete the purpose God had created him for! How awesome is that?

But "being a perfectly fit helper does not make one inferior to the leader." Being a helper just means we are helping our husbands do their jobs-- better!

You may not be the one controlling everything and making the decisions in the house but if your husbands knows he can trust you he's going to come to you and value your opinion. He's going to take on account your feelings and do what is best for everyone!

As Debi Pearl says, "A perfect help meet is one who does not require a list of chores, as a child. Her readiness to please motivates her to look around and see the things she knows her husband would like to see done. She would not use lame exudes to avoid these jobs."

I don't know about you but I'm more of a queen of excuses than a prefect help meet. I look around every day and know that there is that needs to be done for the family as a while not just my hubby and yet I find myself making excuses on why I can't get it done. Most of the time they are just that, excuses! There are times when both kids are sick or Goose has given me a hard time all night (which is happening right now) but they are still excuses!

At the end of this chapter it asks you to think of new ways to be a helper to your husbands and then make it a habit. So mine is to keep the clutter to a minimum and the house clearer. This us a huge thing for my hubby and it has been the big thing I have been making excuses about for the last few months. (The end of pregnancy to the present.) Follow me on Facebook and/or Twitter to keep up with my progress. Remember it takes at least 21 days to make a new behavior a habit so give yourself time and then work to stick with it! Don't do all this hard work to make it a habit just to start making excuses after the 21 days have passed!
Let me know what your new habit is going to be and I will make sure to pray for you through the next 21 days!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
