Find refreshment for your heart, home and life
I just finished listening to a podcast regarding women having a friend with whom they can share their life, their burdens and their joys. As I sit here and ponder those truths, I think of the admonition I once heard…
Always have a Paul, a Barnabas and a Timothy.
What does that mean? We could put it this way – A Paul, a Pal and a Project. Let me explain…

Do any of these describe you?
On and on the scenarios go. It seems that every single day I’m reminded of the reasons behind books like, Adorned. Many times I’ve been one of the women I described above. But how I thank the Lord for the Gospel – the fact that Jesus Christ lived, died and rose again to give me eternal life and also abundant life in this present time. My life can have purpose, my marriage and parenting can gain direction. I am able to have wisdom to move forward and strength to overcome sin. That’s the story of the Gospel and the message behind Adorned that we’ve been studying for the 15 weeks.
Who do you know that needs the truths we’ve talked about? Once we know these truths, we are responsible to share them with another woman so she can walk in growth and victory.

I don’t know if your mother had a saying that you remember, but my mom used to tell me and my sisters to “Act pretty.” It has nothing to do with outward appearance, She was telling us to be kind. We all have to be reminded of that…even in our adult years!
Paul tells us in Titus 2, Older women are to teach what is good, and to train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, and kind.
Why does he have to remind us of this? Because it’s so easy for us to DO all the things we should be doing, but with the wrong attitude. We can do the laundry, cook a meal and make the house spotless, but be huffing and puffing a bad attitude while doing so. (I’m So guilty!)

We had just left a social gathering and were driving home when my husband said to me, “So many women will not let their husband lead.” He didn’t mention what/who he was referencing, but just the observation he had made while we were at this gathering of people.
I let my mind think back to our recent gathering and
I heard a wife answering for her husband.
I heard another one talking over top of her man.
Was it that the men didn’t know what to say, or was it that he wasn’t given the chance to say it? I’m pretty sure the latter is the answer.
I know how easy it is to do both of those things! I fight these things in my own marriage if I don’t use the brakes of self control! What is required in these situations is a word that causes most women great distress. The word is submission. The definition of this word that I love is, To lean your husband’s direction. But what does God’s Word say about this word?

A long-distance friend on Facebook is engaged. She wrote on her fiancé’s wall this week,
“You are so easy to love!”
Anyone who has been married for a month or two, knows that husbands AND wives don’t STAY easy to love; both need grace at times in order to love the other as we should!
