I have been enjoying the study I'm in so much lately. This last week, I was so overwhelmed with how much I had to do to change! I couldn't believe where I was and how far I had to go. I was thinking yesterday that I've settled with being "fine". I have grown a lot as a wife in a lot of positive ways - I don't argue with Jeremiah so much, I don't yell at him, I don't talk bad about him to people, I don't do a lot of things that I once did. And, I've let that be enough. This week I learned about all the things I SHOULD do for him (I already know a lot of the things I should NOT do). HELP him - make him my career - ask him each day how I can help him and help him manage his time more?!!! - This was the most alien idea for me. I am SO not a servant. -God has a lot to do for me in this area. BUT, I am willing to change, to grow and mature. So, I ask Jeremiah each day (so far 4 days in a row) those questions. It's amazing how that changes my attitude, my thought process, my mindset throughout the day - it's pretty cool.
I'm to SUBMIT to him - check got this one down! (so I thought!) - a quiet submission to him, allows him to be more successful. I saw that today in our project. I worked hard at just being his helper, and not the control freak. The project went so smoothly, and he was very happy with the progress that was made. NO FRUSTRATION!! (maybe we could build a house together!!)
I supposed to RESPECT him?? - This is the one I'm reading about tomorrow, but I'm eager to hear how God wants me to apply this one. I think our marriage is going to be much happier because of this study - I'll be much closer to becoming "A woman after God's own heart."
I have some pretty amazing ladies with me on this journey, I'm learning a lot from them as well in our discussions, emails, accountability, and prayer time together. I feel blessed to be living in such a time as this. I am humbled and blessed.
