Book Study: Created to be His Help Meet Chapter 2


Marriages are under attack every where! I see it happening in friends families whether part of a church or not. I think it's evils way of trying to break our spirits! If he breaks a family he not only breaks the parents spirits but the children as well! Now some situations can turn out better than they were before but there will always be scars left on everyone.
I don't know about you but I want to keep my family together at all costs! The great news is Biblically it's not that hard!
Debi refers to Proverbs 17:22 and 15:13

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
- Proverbs 17:22
A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.
- Proverbs 15:13

So in laymen terms smile! Be happy! Let your husband know no matter what your current circumstances are that as long as you are all together you will be happy and make the best of it!
If you haven't been living this way, which I haven't been lately, then start now!
Right now my hubby is sleeping while I'm reading and studying God's purpose for me in our marriage but I can still start now. I can pray! Pray that God starts working in my heart. To be happy with where He has me! After all isn't this His plan? So let's be happy to live out God's plan and let our hubby's know it. After I'm finished writing this post (or maybe before then, I can always finish tomorrow) I can go and crawl into bed and cuddle with him and make sure he knows I appreciate him. That's starting now!
Now on the other hand maybe your marriage is in some stage that looks like it's leading to divorce...I've been there more than once. I've seen it coming and another time I had no idea until my hubby brought it to my attention. But we fought through it and we are here 7 years later and I'm going for many, many more years ahead of us.
But I will have to fight again. It may come on a small fight or a large fight but it will come. When that times come I really have two choices.
1. I can stand on my rights and what I believe the truth to be and in the end destroy my marriage...
OR
2. I can fight to get the relationship back on track by being happy, showing him that I love him emotionally and physically.
Remember God is on your side! Your fighting "for the preservation of God's most noble institution on earth-the family, your family!" (pg. 30).
Don't take your position as a wife for granted simply because your husband and wife. "Earn every smile and shared moment. Cultivate his love for you. Pray that you can remind him of the loveliness and beauty that first attracted him to you." (pg. 31)
Do remember to be happy and fight for your husband when you need too! He will appreciate and admire you for caring enough to fight to save your love!
OK it's time for me to put everything away and go cuddle with the hubby to show how much I appreciate his love for me!
What are you going to do to show your love today?

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I hate drama!

I really consider myself and my life pretty drama free. I try my best to keep people that seek after drama at a distance because I really just don't feel like dealing with it. I have certain family that automatically causes it but you know they are family and there isn't much you can do about it but set up boundaries to not allow it to affect your daily life. Which we do! I love all my extended family but sometimes, seriously, just grow up, stop acting like the world revolves around you and get over it. You children have their own families now! Anyway! After dealing with more family drama (disclaimer: the person I'm talking about would not be reading this so if your family and you are it's not you that I'm complaining about :) then I get a nasty note from a neighbor who is just plain being rude. And I love how they waited until I left before putting the note of the door. I haven't had a car for almost 3 full months and this week my hubby finally got his motorcy...
