"Ten Secrets to a Happy Marriage"
1) God has you here to serve one another. Love acted out is SERVING.
2) Women need respect and nurturing. Love your wife so she knows you'd lay your life down for her. Continue to date her and admire her. Share a hobby- find something you can do to have FUN together.
3) Laugh often.
4) Be patient. Love crumbles quickly under the weight of unmet expectations.
5) Spend more time trying to fix YOURSELF than your spouse.
6) Keep short accounts. The Bible says "Do not let the sun go down while you are angry.
Make it a habit to FORGIVE.
7) Determine up front that DIVORCE IS NOT AN OPTION.
8) Learn about LOVE LANGUAGES. Not all people show love or receive it the same way.
(you want a back rub, your Spouse wants a clean kitchen) The Love Languages are fairly simple.
a. Acts of Service
b. Time
c. Physical Touch
e. Gifts
f. Words of Affirmation
Learn them. Love is better received when it's in the language that person speaks.
9) Words of Affirmation are a love language for ALL MEN.
10) Men are born to be leaders. He can not lead unless she gives him the confidence to do so. If you love your husband, build him up. Confident men do not seek love outside the home

SUMMER!!!
It wasn't really that long ago we had snow on the ground. I was convinced that we would still have snow on the ground BUT God keeps the universe running as it has for years and for that I am greatful.
I have been doing alot of thinking about "The Way of Agape" This bible study is not fot the faint of heart, It is deep and complex and will change you if you let it. By letting it I mean actually read the book and allow the Holy Spirt to bring about the changes that will enable us to give up the "self life" and become one minded with the Father. This is not an easy process but it is a process. I have not claimed to be perfect...far from it, but I am greatful each day for this study, as painful as it is at times!!! So press on Girls...

Hi Ladies, For those of you who were in attendance at the brunch Saturday, you know I received a TXT message from Jeffrey, telling me he got hurt! PRAISE THE LORD he had his helmet on because he flipped over the handle bars and landed in the soft mucky ground right on his head! The helmet cracked but not Jeffreys skull!!!! His neck is sore but nothing is broken or fractured!!!!! Jeffrey defies death once more! ( Thank Ya Jesus!!!!!)

Wow!
It has been ages and ages since I have blogged anything. Part of the reason is I couldn't remember how to get into this site!!! I am a little challenged in all this Techie stuff! So let me catch you up to date.
Women's Ministries has been studing " The Way Of Agape" by Nancy Missler. What a life changer. We have been in no hurry to complete this study because it is so rich and full of the deep things of God. I personally have grown and been challenged in ways that I could not have comprehended a year ago. I am so glad and greatful for all that the Lord has done in my life, my marriage and my church. God is a God of Love, He loves us as we are but I am more greatful He doesn't leave us that way! Sometimes we only have to be willing to change, even when we don't know what that all means. But when we are willing He is the one who leads us in the way to go. My prayer has been "God please just get me out of your way." and He does, in every area I am willing to get out of His way. Thank you Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

time keeps on slipping away
It never ceases to amaze me how fast the stinking calender moves, Is time being sped up or what??? Last week at WM's Julieanne reminded me how long it has been since I have posted anything on this blog (thank Julie), all I can say is sorry. Life as been better to say the least. I know that God never gives us more than we can handle... I must be super woman! Sick of it too I might add! any hoo, The Ladies the Yahweh Sisterhood are going to start doing a study called " The Way Of Agape" it is going to be very beneficial to all who participate because we truly can never exhaust the Love of God and to be honest I think a refresher course is what the Savior ordered! I look forward to what God has in store for us!

Is any one there?
My sisters, I am soooo neglectful, I knew it had been awhile since I posted anything but OY VEY! this is bad....so very sorry.
So now that MAY is almost over, I hope that the Spring months have been good to everyone. There have been lots of ups and downs for me and my family. I am sure we are not the only ones. Our Lord continues to meet our needs each and every day, what ever that may be! We need only to trust Him that He is who He says He is! And that He will do what He said He will do! Right?! Right!
Let me know if you have been here, I will be back again soon. Love you all

Where has February gone?
I can not believe how fast the pages on the ca lander are flipping. WOW! Life has been pretty interesting to say the least. I don't really have the energy to go into any of it but I know God is in control!
I want to share something with you that I read in the latest Karen Kingsbury book "Forever",
it is titled "Ten Secrets to a Happy Marriage"
1) God has you here to serve one another. Love acted out is SERVING.
2) Women need respect and nurturing. Love your wife so she knows you'd lay your life down for her. Continue to date her and admire her. Share a hobby- find something you can do to have FUN together.

Make it a habit to FORGIVE.
7) Determine up front that DIVORCE IS NOT AN OPTION.
8) Learn about LOVE LANGUAGES. Not all people show love or receive it the same way.

10) Men are born to be leaders. He can not lead unless she gives him the confidence to do so. If you love your husband, build him up. Confident men do not seek love outside the home.
These dear Sisters are words to live by! and they are the Truth.
I look forward to seeing you Next Saturday at the next WM's meeting. Mark your calenders.
