It's been awhile

So it's been awhile since my last writing and you might wonder what happen...well after my first writing...literally right after-wards I had insomnia.  I couldn't sleep, I kept thinking of all the things I could write about.  Even the next day, I kept thinking about what I wanted to say to you and how I would say it but then I realized that I was thinking too much and it was taking my time away from the Lord...so I decided to just wait and I would wait on the Lord to direct my timing and my writing.

So much has happen since my last writing so I will start with January 27th, I attended Marriage 101 - A Pink Night at Gateway.  Attending with me was 2 of my nieces, with their Sisters...that is sister by blood and sisters in the Lord.  The meeting was amazing I loved that Pastor Debbie spoke as if it was just me and her having a talk but in reality there were so many women there that night.  She covered things from Submission, Honor, Unconditional Love, and even Sex.   Here are some of the things I came away with.


Submission - does not mean to be a slave.  Submitting provides leadership in the home because it builds up our husbands.  When we submit to our husbands, we are also submitting to God.  The more we submit the more he will love us the way Christ loves the church. When we submit you will find that he will do things for you without you expecting him to do so and making your life a little easier.

Ephesians 5:22 (NIV)
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.

Ephesians 5:25 (NIV)
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

Honor -  This is a mans number one need. We should praise him and cover him with our love, we should never tear him down not even in joking.  When we cover our husbands in love we are protecting him and in turn he as the leader will protect you and cover you with love.

Unconditional Love - is to live without BUTS.

Sex - God created it so we could enjoy it and so we could have pleasure.  We should never look at it as an act of work but instead as a way for us to show our love to one another.  If you find yourself tired or just not interested ask the Lord to put the desire back in your heart and He will do it, all you have to do is ask.  There are a few boundaries, NO 3rd party, NO porn and NO ex-fantasy. 

So my sisters Love your husband like the first day you fall in Love with him and then give God the Glory!
