God's Goodness Plain and Simple

Blessings Marvelous and Married Ones!

I hope you had a great weekend and had the opportunity to enjoy your spouse!
This weekend was simply marvelous for my husband and I. The highlight being Sunday at church. There were some things that we were praying about and God just opened up our understanding and blessed us richly! After church my big Sister called and told me that I could bring lil Reggie over there to spend the night. My son was so happy and me and Reg were like the house is empty as our oldest was out with her friends. So we dropped our baby boy off and decided to go out. After weeks of cars being repaired and being house bound, it was nice to be able to go somewhere without catching a ride!LOL!Praise the LORD!

We decided to go to the Silver Diner and it was nice. We just sat there talking and looking into each others eyes. After a good meal my husband wanted us to sip on a shake together. We had never done that before.WOW! We tried to figure what flavor and he told me to pick. I'm a chocolate lover so I went for that but then I asked him what he wanted he said he liked Oreos. I told him let's get what you want because you have been blessing me all weekend long. He looked at me so sweetly and smiled. When our shake arrived , he came from the other side to sit next to me and there we sat laughing and smiling like two teenagers as we enjoyed our shake.

This was special to me. My husband leads very fast paced life. He is critical personnel at his job and over the last 2 months we have not been able to spend a lot of time together, plus he's studying for his next big certification. I felt like God had blessed and slowed time down for us some kind of way on Sunday. It was like God realizing the demands upon us both just added some extra sweet goodness on our day....for which we are still thankful for (-: Thanks Dad!

A Time To Remember

Hello to all of you anointed and kingdom driven couples of the Most High! What a great week this has been and I'm ready for a weekend to remember all those, who have died for our freedom including our Lord!!

As Memorial day approaches why not "Remember" why you got married. Sit your husband or wife down and share with him or her on Monday, before all the celebrations begin why not share with your sweetie you got married. List all the reasons, and at the end let them know you'd do it all over again (-:

Your Heart Has Been Marked.

Happy Monday!!! I hope you all had a marvelous weekend with your spouses now it's a new week full of endless possibilities and promises to be fulfilled. I thought a lot today about a statement my Pastors wife made. She said as married covenant folk, we have an "ALL ACCESS CARD" where our mate is concerned. We as being one flesh through our God covenant of marriage have been granted access into the deep places of each others hearts. This goes way beyond the emotional adrenaline rushes of dating. When you are married you are wide open. Much like walking through life together spiritually naked, unashamed, and unafraid. Those are awesome benefits in and of themselves! We have access to each others heart. What a huge responsibility. God has put us with who we have right now, not only for His purposes but also for our enjoyment. Do you delight in and take comfort from knowing that you have your husband's or wife's heart? You have their undivided love, attention, devotion, help, and resources? I know some of you may be saying well that's not my marriage. Well can I tell you to paint your own picture? Unless that man or woman is abusing you or cheating on you paint your own picture and stick with it until you take your last breath of air on this earth. Speak those things that are not as though they were and enjoy your marriage...your life.

Marked! Now when Adam saw Eve he wasn't like ok great you are here now to help me do a, b, c, and d. No Adam said this is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh and a man shall leave his mother and father cleave to his wife and they shall become one flesh. It was like Adam was saying, Girl you are fine, you are all mine, and I'm gonna take care of you baby! (-: Even after the Fall, Adam and Eve stayed together, they knew they were specifically created for one another and they went forward together even under the heaviness of their consequences they kept on loving! You know at the end of the day that's what matters....the understanding of KNOWING that GOD has put each of us together for His purposes.

Think about that this week. Think about how important and special your spouse is and thank God for him or her, and if you need to.... paint a picture because you have been marked for your mate (-:

Hold On Tight

Greetings couples in the name of Jesus. I'm so thankful to God for giving me one more day with my husband! How about you (-:

The other night I took a friend to the grocery store and as I sat in the car with her little baby I saw something that just reinforced God's will for us as couples.
There was this husband and wife in the parking lot, apparently the wife's car had broken down and as her husband arrived and worked on the problem. With each hug you could tell that she was just so thankful that he was there. I don't know how long she was sitting there waiting for him to come and help her, but she sure was happy to see him. She just kept hugging him and smiling and he was enjoying every minute of it. Finally he was able to fix her problem and she was clearly relieved and appreciative.

God from the very beginning intended the husband and his wife to cleave to one another. In Genesis 2:24 God's Word says that a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and they SHALL become "one flesh."
This helpless woman in the parking lot called her husband. She didn't call her Mom or Dad to come and rescue her, she called her husband....that is the way God designed it! Hallelujah!!!
As we go through this life with our mate let's always remember that no matter what challenges face us, that as long as we continue to hold tightly to one another there isn't anything that we can't get through together.

You, Your Spouse, and King Solomon

God Friday to everyone and greetings in the name above all names Jesus Christ!

Fridays are now going to be devoted to sharing some ideas with you all that I hope will help create memories, and maybe even establish some traditions for your marriage.

Ok so get some fruit, cheese, and crackers. You may even want to get some non alcoholic grape juice too. Let your spouse know early that day that at a certain time maybe 10pm you want to take them to a far away exotic country. Let them know that their passport is the Bible and once you open to the Song of Solomon let the adventure begin. Now this wonderful book of the Bible has 8 chapters so break it up if you need to. Maybe dedicate the next 1-8 Friday nights to reading it. It's a very romantic book so take your time and enjoy this beautiful writing of love as you bask in your own..

From Woman to Eve

Happy Monday Marvelous Married Ones!! I hope you and your Honey were able to spend some quality time together this past weekend, it was simply gorgeous outside!

Well after doing a study with my husband in Genesis, God gave me a title for this blog back on April 26th called as you can see From Woman to Eve. I had an idea where God wanted to go with this but it wasn't until after we had our womens fellowship at church, where the minister talked about going from woman to Eve that it all came together.I don't know what mistakes you may have possibly made in your marriage BUT if you have repented and put them under the Blood of Jesus pick yourself up, and keep it moving. After woman fell and ended up with those perpetual consequences her name was changed to Eve and it is said that Adam called her that because she was the mother of all living. Now here is the beauty of God. In her mess up, God's mercy shows up! God could've done many things to Eve. He could've wiped her out and the memory of her, but He didn't. He could've created another wife for Adam and let Eve be their servant, but He didn't. He simply assigned consequences to her and her seed after her and allowed her to continue living.

I know for some of you the devil may be trying to beat the life out of you mentally, don't let him do that to you. Once God forgives, He forgives. Now the consequences may not go anywhere any time soon or ever but that's ok. One thing about Eve, she never said as her son Cain had said, "My punishment is greater than I can bear." She bore it and she continued on. No matter what my dear sisters don't let your mistakes stop you from the greatness that God has placed on your lives. If you have hurt your spouse go to him and apologize. Ask God and your spouse how you can help him get through the pain. If you are a husband that has messed up, the same process can be used. Always remember this couples, God does expect us to help heal the ones we have hurt. NOW go get into God's Word and rediscover the woman/man that you are IN Him and then represent Him in humility, dignity, and begin again to walk in the dominion that you have been given.

Royalty for A Day Pt 2

Happy Friday Couples! Today I just want to share briefly what happened to me when I told my husband that I wanted him to pick out a day where me and the kids just want to spoil him and make him feel like a king! Well he was a little overwhelmed..he paused after I told him and he just laughed with delight and said ok I'll plan it out!!

As a wife, I will never forget his response. He works so very hard and is just a wonderful husband, father, neighbor, employee, and man of God. I look forward to the day when I can surprise him with tickets for a cruise or a vacation to Hawaii! He would enjoy that..and so would we (-:

Paper Towels and Repentance

Greetings couples in the marvelous name of JESUS!!! I'm so excited about today, its a day God has given us to do better and do greater things for Him!

Today I want to share something I saw yesterday. As we were shopping at Sams there was a married couple ahead of us. They were standing by the paper towel pallet and as the wife grabbed the paper towels she threw them to her husband like she was mad. As we looked on and walked on the wife said, "I can't believe I did that and I just got out of church!!!"

I'm glad that I saw that. It reminded me that as Christians and couples we are not perfect, and it was also beautiful to see that the wife caught herself and apologized to her husband. How it stamped even more deeply within me the responsibility we have as Christian couples to be "Lights of the World" and to really repent publicly or openly when we get out of line with God's Word regardless of who is around. I'm glad me and my husband took the opportunity to go up to them afterwards- feeling their embarassment and show them some love. That's part of why we are here right? To love and bless one another in the good times and the emabarrasing times.(-:
