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?

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Changing My Lifestyle!

Well not only walking but just in general changing my lifestyle. I am currently overweight according to the doctors and the horrible BMI chart by 60 pounds. I seriously don't think that I will ever loose that much weight ever again. If I do great but not my goal because I want something attainable.  I have tried some many different things to lose weight and it just never works. Before I was pregnant I was right where I am now. My body has changed since I was pregnant but the weight is still the same. The good news I didn't gain anything after the pregnancy but the bad news is I still need to do something. So I'm going through the Made to Crave book and I love it. I have decided to change many different things about my lifestyle. I want to be able to have the energy to keep up with Rex and enjoy my life and right now it just doesn't seem to be everything it should be.  So here is what I have started doing...I eat only things God created. Fruits, veggies, healthy...

Frumpy or Fabulous?

Staying at home can create a sense of comfort. Allowing to stay in PJ's all day, enjoying just lounging of the couch and eating bon bon's. However for most of us homemakers we do not have this luxury of lounging and bon bon's. We have things to do with our children, house cleaning to do, and many thing outside of the house. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning just seems pointless. Excuses like I have to clean so why would I put on my 'nice' clothes or the baby is just going to spit up on me so I should just stay in my pj's since I will have to change later anyway. These are valid reasons on some  days to stay in our pj's but most  days we should get up and get ready just like if we worked outside of the home. It shows our husbands that we care about him and we try to make sure that we look good for him. It also shows are children good habits of getting up and getting dressed and ready for the day. If you read in Proverbs 31 you will see what a wif...
