Instead of Reacting in Anger…

February 26, 2015 by

12

When someone does something that offends you or they sin against you, how do you usually respond? I’d love to encourage us all to take a time out to go pray and journal through our thoughts, anger, motives, and priorities if possible before we respond. It is easy to have a sinful knee-jerk response to […]

Unlearning the Ungodly Example of a Controlling, Disrespectful Mother

January 23, 2015 by

27

  Unfortunately, some of us learned to be controlling and disrespectful by the poor examples of our mothers. If we have witnessed a dominant, type-A, perfectionistic, manipulative, overly emotional, resentful, bitter, controlling, fearful, anxious, disrespectful wife and a passive, unplugged father for 20+ years – these dynamics can seem “normal” and “right.” These moms did […]

Comments Off on “Do I Get to Punish My Man If He Upsets Me?”

I have a very detailed post about this topic as it relates to a wife and husband on my other blog here, and I go into many ways wives may attempt to punish their husbands as well as what a wife can do if she is unhappy with her husband. But let’s talk a bit about this […]

A few weeks ago, I conducted a survey to determine what some of our greatest triggers are  that get us thinking in a downward spiral of sinful thoughts. Of those who answered, here are the results (please remember that ladies could vote for as many of these as are triggers for them): reading other people’s […]

We are continuing to follow GraceAlone’s progress as she began this journey to become a godly wife about 3 weeks ago.

Comments Off on GraceAlone Takes another Step

  GraceAlone continues on her journey of tearing out idols, recognizing and repenting of sin and learning to trust Christ with everything. She is married, so some of her idols may be different from those of single women, but this process of seeing sin, agreeing with God that it is sin, turning away from sin […]

Replacing the “Tapes” in My Head

December 5, 2013 by

Before God radically changed my mind, heart and soul over the past 5 years, I would constantly have “tapes” playing in my head where I was always talking to myself about things – a running narrative of worry, fear, trying to figure out every possible “what if” scenario and basically, trying to figure out how […]
