Through Christ
In recent weeks I have been struggling as a wife. Understanding what God truly wants me to do with the role He has called me to do. To be a wife, help meet, friend, lover… everything to Paul. A Christian friend who has stepped in to help me and done nothing but show me scriptures and books that are a good guidance in this area. We have been meeting up weekly to talk about a book we are going through, prayer requests, and receive general counceling as a wife in today’s world.
So often we Christian wives need to be reminded what our role is in our home. I have been polluted by the world’s point of view of what a woman’s place in the home is. Jana has humbly and yet buntly taught me so much and showed me through scriptures what is right and what is wrong.
I bring this up because I was confronted with a small challenge today. Its hard to not to throw a fit and kick and scream when something doesn’t go your way. OR if something creeps up into your life and you didn’t realize it was coming. But as soon as I saw it, I thought.. hmm.. There are a number of ways to react. Someone asked me, “Barb.. Who is in control?” My reply? “God’. The simple thing to do is trust God. I pray for growth everyday, minute, and years the rest of my life. All of this happens THROUGH CHRIST.
Another thing that happened throught Christ, I lost 2 inches around!
