the things i'm learning in this wife life...

i don't always have to have the last word.

i don't always have to say something.

being meek, gentle, humble, and quiet is WAY more effective then saying and doing the most.  too much energy wasted.

every time i purpose myself to be meek, gentle, humble and quiet...please beleeeeeee that is the same instance where the enemy will have my husband say or do something that makes me want to go jsnon'sgnsdgkbs'g[nsgnjskdgndnNIGGAomdfksmgknsgsngsngsngsklngs.  yup.  happens EVERY time.

just more proof that we really don't wrestle against flesh and blood but against evil powers and principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places.  seems like Satan HATES the power and the unity that comes out of Godly marriage.  i believe he has imps specifically assigned to snuff out marriage and break those unions.

if there's a problem, i can be proactive about it and fix it myself, instead of criticizing my husband.

if there's a problem, i shouldn't always be so hesitant and harbor it either.  i'm still finding that delicate balance of discernment to know when to address it with my husband, when to shut my mouth and do it myself, and when to simply take it to the Holy Ghost in prayer.

it is truly not good for man to be alone.

i am my husband's helper.  this means, for all of his prowess in other areas, i carry a certain strength that he does not possess.  God joined us together so that i could help him.  it is my responsibility to determine how to do this and to act on it.

words are very powerful.  they are seeds that can bear sweet or bitter fruit.  i must be very careful how i use them.

little nuggets...each and every day.

i have underestimated my husband in alot of ways.  i never thought i did, but my thoughts have clearly manifested in my actions towards him.  this weekend, listening to him talk about his plans and dreams, watching him interact with other men, i realized how wrong i have been.  i had to repent.

my husband is a unicorn.  lol.

we have both changed tremendously since we first met each other in 2006.  we have both changed tremendously since we were engaged....since we were married.  there's so much more growth in store.

i am REALLY in love with my husband (but i already knew this tee hee hee).  it gives me a great joy that i can't explain when i can please him and meet his needs, not just physically, but in every aspect.

i need a special grace to be his wife and truly reverence him as my one and only husband.
