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

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
