Faithful Fridays – Fearless (Part V)

F  A  I  T  H  F  U  L Fearless! There are two ways to be happy: change the situation, or change your mindset towards it. #gratitude @BabyMamasTweet — The Baby Mama (@BabyMamasTweet) July 21, 2017 For a very long time, I have been walking this walk to change my thoughts from negative and aggressive, to…

Faithful Fridays – Holiness!

F  A  I  T  H  F  U  L Happy and Holy! Mirriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary defines “holiness” as: Definition of holy 1:  exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness 2:  divine for the Lord our God is holy — Psalms 99:9 (AV) 3:  devoted entirely to the deity or the work of the deity…

Faithful Fridays – Being Faithful…

Last week, we started looking at my word for this year – well, a word I hope to live by in my marriage for the rest of my life.  My word for 2017 is faithful. Last night hubby was telling me of a friend who has had two extra-marital affairs and her husband, who found…

Intimacy – Boxes

I like counting in fours. I have always have. Every time I walk somewhere, I count my steps on fours.  Seriaaasssly. Maybe I shouldn’t be admitting this on a public blog – my little “blog box”.  Uh, just how many followers do I have?  LOL – but I like fours.  I like the number four, I like…

Intimacy – Attitude

For a while now, I have been working through Dr Caroline Leaf’s programme to detox your mind, and to build up healthy, God-honouring thoughts.  I am slowly, but surely seeing the dividends of the hard work that I am putting in, although I truly wish I was further along the road.  But, I guess, Rome…

Intimacy – Cleaving

Matthew 19:5 KJV:  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? I love the word “cleave” in this instance.  It really does give an onomatopoeic impression of holding on, and never letting go.  Although the verse doesn’t mention a wife…

Intimacy – Healing

My mother competed with me on every level as I was growing up. When I expressed interest in a certain item of clothing (like boots when I was 13 – as an example), she would tell me that she didn’t have the money to buy the boots for me, but the next thing I knew,…

Intimacy – A Gift

I think that sometimes we forget – at least I know I do – that our marriages, and our spouses, are gifts to us.  Gifts that are worth fighting for.

Intimacy – Knowing

I think I’m realizing that one of the most important aspects of intimacy is knowing…  that look your husband gives you after a long and gruelling day and you just know he needs some comfort, a glass of wine and just to put his feet up for five minutes. I remember after we had an…

Intimacy -Rest

You can’t ever give up! There are days when I just want to crawl into a tiny ball and just stay there.  Just this morning I was praying and asking God if I’m doing the right thing, if I’m on the right path, if I am moving forward in the right way, why am I doing all…
