A Wife of Noble Character?

"Her husband can trust her,

    and she will greatly enrich his life.

She brings him good, not harm,

all the days of her life.

Proverbs 31:11-12

 

It's July 31st, what a better day than to read and think about Proverbs 31. 

We took long walks at the beach this past weekend. My husband and me.

Us.

We walked and talked, prayed and laughed. Watching other families. Taking a peek into their lives.

Wives sitting on the edge of the water, watching over their children playing in the waves.

Dads playing catch with their kids. Laughing. 

A long time ago I prayed to God to help me become a good christian wife to my husband. He has answered my prayer in so many ways - guiding me along the way to becoming my husband's help meet. 

There are days when I fail and days when I succeed.  

I hope to be the wife my husband can trust. I long to be the wife that gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast and take care of the household for my husband. 

I aim for it. Every day. 

It's ok to fail sometimes. God will help us to become our husband's help meet. He knows we are trying and He can see into our hearts.

On days I carry a lot of worry in my heart, I learned to give it all to God. He will take care of all my worries for me. My heart hurts less when I do.

Don't worry about anything, instead pray about everything. I pray that God will continue to guide me to become a good Proverbs 31 wife. 

He has shown me examples on our Beach vacation. I have had the great opportunity to learn from older women and wives that have been married longer than I have. 

God is still showing me. Teaching me. And I pray that my husband will trust me and that I enrich his life as he has enriched mine. 

We serve an amazing God.

For the Ups and Downs ...

... God Gave Me You!

It has been six years yesterday, since my wonderful husband and I said " I Do!". Six amazing years - they seem so short and yet so fast. We met online on a blog while I was still in High School, got engaged a year into my college and married after I was finished. JC is my best friend, my soulmate. I can trust him with everything on my heart - good and bad. He always cheers me on and supports every crazy idea that gets into my mind. I love and respect him so much!



These 6 years have been great, but since God called us it has been even better. The Lord has worked so much in our lives, He is our number One and has only the best for us in mind. We serve an amazing God!

Imagine it like a triangle (hope the below illustration shows up good on your screen) -

GOD

Husband & Wife

Draw it out infront of you, God on top then Husband and Wife on each end of the triangle. Now use your index finger and place one on Husband and one on Wife. Move them upwards closer to God - do you see what happens? The closer you are to God, the closer you are as a Husband and Wife Team! And that's exactly how God has worked in our lives! He has made us so close. God has shown me so many things how I can be a christian wife to my husband and I am so excited to practice what He is showing me how to be the best help meet I can for my better half and raise our child(ren) in a godly way.
