The Wife Life: Quick tips on bringing in the New Year

Bringing in the New Year Tips - 2019!!



My fellow Wife-Lifers, we have arrived to the threshold of 2019.  Congratulations on making it through this year.  It has been a wild ride.  Regardless of how your 2018 was, whether there was heartache and mistakes or big breaks and booty shakes, it's time to put the year behind us.  You can't drive forward and look in your rear view mirror at the same time, its dangerous - in life and on the road.  

So, here are the rules for you Mrs. Fabulous:

1)  Tonight, understand no matter what, that you are the most beautiful, sexiest woman in the world to your husband.  This is factual, but we often don't believe it.  In God's design, Eve was made perfect for Adam.  And when Adam beheld her, his jaw dropped and the world stopped.  He followed her around like a puppy dog.  God has not changed his design for us.  You are Eve to your Adam. Revel in it and strut in it!  


 2)  I give you permission to be a freak!  Yes!  We all know how classy you are.   But tonight, you can let loose for your husband.  Back in the day, when you were single I'm sure you could tell stories to make me blush.  Now, that you're married, you put all your goodies in a box and put them in the attic.  That's so awfully backwards.  You are a wife.  Having fun with your husband is definitely permitted.


3)  Be appreciative for wherever you are, with whatever you have, doing whatever it is you're doing.  As wives, we have the tendency to scan for messes, flaws, potential hazards, and places to make improvements.  Tonight is not that night.  Compliment how wonderful your husband smells and looks.  Let him know you appreciate how hard he's worked this year.  And it doesn't matter if you're toasting with a glass of Andre Champagne or Vueve Clicquot, take a long look around you and Cheers to all of it.  



Have a safe and happy New Year!  And God Bless You!

Gaining a Fresh Perspective

I read the scriptures and in theory they all sound great..."love is patient, love is kind" 2 Corinthians 13. "How joyful are those who fear the Lord - all who follow his ways! You will enjoy the fruit of your labor.  How joyful and prosperous you will be"  Psalm 128: 1-2. "I tell you the truth if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea, and it will be done.  If you believe you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer" Matthew 21:21. Sometimes, the Word of the Lord appears too good to be true.  I can ask in your name Lord and receive it?  Okay, what's the catch? If I have faith and do not doubt.  Well, there's the issue.  Who among us doesn't have doubts?  We all have doubts, I assume.  I can pray for something but how do I know for sure, that I will receive it?  And because I feel that way, does that automatically...

Why does God do it? Why does God put up with us?

We are some of the worst friends, daughters, sons, brothers, sisters.  We're so cynical and skeptical, that if someone is being "too nice" to us, we get suspicious that they want something from us.  We ask, "why is this person being so nice? I wonder what she wants?"  We can't fathom that someone would be extremely nice to us without having some type of agenda.  I think a lot of us look at God with that same sideways skepticism. Like, okay, so He sent His son to die on a cross for my sins, so that I might be saved.  And all He wants from me is to accept His salvation and allow Him to come into my heart? "But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved.  And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his gra...

Mic Check

  1 Peter 3: 15 “Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life.    And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.” 2 Timothy 4 “Preach the word of God.   Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not.   Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.”   I missed an opportunity to preach the Good News at my father’s 70 th birthday party with all our friends and family gathered together to celebrate my dad.   What a wonderful time we had.   And I was holding the mic and recounted an early childhood memory but I had also planned to speak about a time when my dad and I were on the phone and having a deep conversation about life and some loved ones who had passed away. It was a difficult time and it seemed we had lost too many friends and family members one right after the other.   I grew up in the church, thanks to my mom’s dedication to get my brother and I there, whe...
