This is Real Spiritual Warfare
I’m interrupting this Friday and adding a second post. Over the past several days I have been in the midst of some powerful spiritual warfare. I know many other who are smack in the middle of warfare as well. On Wednesday morning, I was up early, 5:30 a.m. to read my Bible and pray. As…

Here I Go Again…..
Where DO We Draw the Line?I’m in a quandary. I have shared with you in past months how comparing our spouse to another spouse is a toxic occupation. For example we try not to notice but can’t help to observe how “Cindy’s” husband (not her real name) is amazingly considerate of her. We watch her husband with the kids and…

Bloom and Grow…. Forever
I was sitting in yet another class, at a Women’s Ministry, anticipating once again how I could learn something about surviving in a marriage with an unsaved husband. I’d been to many different kinds of classes on marriage and many different churches, searching and searching. There must be someone, some pastor, some ministry, someone that…

Friendship with a Jealous God
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Exodus 34:14 Names mean something, especially in the Kingdom of God. As you read through God’s Word, notice how often we are told the meaning behind the different names people give to their children. God even tells…

I Am THAT Woman
Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay. – unknown I am in an unequally yoked marriage because of sin. Most of you know my story. I married my atheist husband during a time of…

Friendship with an All-Knowing God
In my first post for this series I mentioned that one of the keys to any friendship is not only knowing the other person, their character, desires and emotions, but also in revealing your own heart to them. Friendship with God is no different. In fact, in order to truly begin to understand Him and…
