Man of The House

As our series at church "All In The Family" wrapped up yesterday, a verse of scripture stood out to me that the pastor said sometimes bothered some women. And you know what? It does...I have seen so many women snarl their faces up when this verse is read. EPHESIANS 5:22

Well, I will tell you this. I don't have a problem at ALL with submitting to my husband. If there are any decisions in our home...we discuss it. If there is a difference in opinion, it may take a little longer to work it out, but ultimately I know Tom has the final say. I know that he has prayed about whatever we may be talking over and I should follow his lead. So lead on my dear hubby!

I am not saying that Tom rules over me. There is a respect issue on both sides. I respect him and he respects me. Submitting to your husband is something that involves give and take. It displays the trust you have in your husband's decision making and giving whatever problem you may have to God and letting HIM handle it.

So ladies, don't look at is as a ruler/king type verse. Look at it as a mutual understanding that both of you have put your ideas out on the table. If this is done properly and the way God intended it to be, it will not be difficult at all.

1. At the beah for a few days. It is beautiful here; nice change of scenery.

2. I got to go back to church Sunday after the baby was born. I missed my church family.

3. Hopefully I will get to meet up with my friend Wendy for dinner in Myrtle Beach this week for dinner. We haven't seen each other in over 6 years! She is from Gastonia and is on vacation down here this week too.

4. Maternity leave = everyday feels like Saturday.

5. Getting some wonderful time with the Lord while I am off.

2. Daytime TV----bites the big one. I have since learned that since being home.

3. You will never know the value of a good hot shower or sleep in the middle of the night is until a little one is around. (I had forgotten that!)

4. She is worth every minute of the lack of those amenities.

5. I never knew love like this before my kids. God has blessed me! Thank you Lord...
