Lately I have been forgetting how important my role is in the home. I would say that our faith is being stretched and increased right now, and for that I am grateful. With savings money low and a very small income at the moment, I have a sincere pleasure of peace. I know that God is our Jehovah Jira - Provider- and I praise Him for the covenant of the tithe because He is in control of our finances so I am truly not worried about the bills, they will be paid. (Malachi 3)
What I am more concerned about right now is what I am lacking, and that is gratefulness. I am always sure to thank Jesus daily for all of my blessings.. so many I cannot count them. But what I have not been doing daily is thanking my husband for who he is and reminding him why I married him. Of course the Lord told us that we would marry one another (almost 2 years ago now), but I could have been unwise and not listened. I didn't just marry him because I knew I was supposed to or because our marriage was arranged by God. I married my husband because I know that no matter how much he knows about my past or present... he will still love me. For I am a new creation in Chirst and the Holy Spirit is dwelling on the inside of me! (2 Corinthians 5:17 & 1 Corinthians 6:19)
We have both made numerous mistakes and will certainly make more, but in that is beauty. Because regardless of the number or how big... Josh will still love me. I don't ever fear the "d" word (divorce for those still thinking about it) not just because it displeases God but because we are truly soul mates. No matter how mad we may get over something stupid we both know that we are meant to be and the arguments will never last (in Jesus name).
So right now I vow to be a better wife, friend, and most importantly prayer warrior for my "better half." Mark 10:27 states: "...all things are possible with God." So now I must begin to pray more for his success and step in action with my faith while these things come to pass!
*A note to my beloved*
I love you Josh! Even though I don't always show it in recognizable ways... I'm working on it! Thank you for being who you are and thank you for putting God first in our lives. (just like you said you would in your wedding vow) and thank you for changing baby Z's diapers! ;)

it's such an amazing honor being a wife to a wonderful man isn't it.
i too thank God every day for my blessings, especially for Matt. We aren't always going to get everything right as a wife... but they have grace on us, just as we do on them.
i'm sure this blog will touch Josh's heart. you are an amazing wife and mother and friend!
