Becoming the Wife God Created Me To Be
Today I’m going to talk about why women should know how to use a power drill! When something goes wrong, or breaks around the house; it’s pretty easy to add the item to the honey-do list and then nag about getting it done for the next year or so. I’m not saying men shouldn’t help around the house, or that they shouldn’t have a responsibility to fix things that go wrong. What I’m saying is, sometimes there are things that [...]

I cannot remember when the marshmallow jokes started, but one day I found a marshmallow in my cereal. So a couple of weeks later, Jason found [...]

The wife felt pretty bad that she ruined her tea kettle, but it [...]
Capturing everyday moments with a Samsung Smart Camera. For every day moments, would you prefer compact cameras or something larger like a DSLR? When I was 17, Daddy and Mother gave me a film camera. After about a year and a half I bought a digital and sold the film camera. My digital was smaller than the film, yes, but still pretty chunky. For its time, I would say it took decent photos. Most of them were edited to look [...]

Putting the Letters in Order Craft: This is a very simple craft. You will need: Enough pieces of paper for each letter in the child’s name. Tape Crayons Use the tape to make letters on the page.

Welcome back to Matrimonial Monday! Perhaps you have noticed that we changed the link-up rules awhile back. It used to be only marriage related posts, and now we have it as any post that relates to being a Godly wife. Kelly and I were discussing it and we come to the conclusion that our link up could use a new name. One that reflects the theme of the link up. We also thought it would be fun to include our [...]

Do you ever just feel like God’s blessings pour out on you? Do you ever feel like he is just to far away to even care? I have felt both at times, and I think we can all guess which feeling I prefer. However, I know that even when God feels far away, he is still there, and his blessings pour out still. I’ve been pretty busy lately, summer does that you know So I don’t have any long or [...]
What do you do when he won’t lead? When we were first married, I’m guessing I was just like any other bride. I knew that we weren’t perfect, we had already experienced clashes before the wedding, and all that stuff. But I guess I thought I knew what to do. I had in my head that I would be the submissive wife and I would let Jason lead in everything. So I tried. In my head I though that as [...]

Do you ever hear stories of those who are out serving the Lord in some great way, and you wonder to yourself, “Where is My Ministry“?

I remember crying that night when I was in bed. I felt so bad for the people [...]

Are you listening to me?! I get that question from my husband a lot. You see, Jason talks to himself. All the time. He says it’s how he processes his thoughts, something to do with being ADD and all that stuff. So after about a year of being married and hearing him talking to himself and not me, I began tuning him out. He would walk into the room and start talking to me and my brain just “turned [...]

So many times I see other couples (and read other blogs posts) where the men look just amazing. They open doors, fix meals, sweep floors, and all sorts of other things that Jason just doesn’t do. Not that he’s horrible. But he don’t open doors for me. He walks in front [...]
