How to Spiritually clean your home.

There have been times I have walked into a home and felt an overwhelming pressure upon my spirit. I felt like the atmosphere could almost choke me. Outside the sun is beaming but as soon as I walk into the home, there is nothing but weariness.

Have you ever felt that? Have you ever felt it in your own home?

Do not be ashamed to nod yes to the question. There are seasons in our lives where there is burdensome and havoc and it chases us place to place, room to room. There have been times for myself of this.

5 Things Stay at Home Moms should do everyday.

If you were like me and went from working since you were old enough to just one day stopping to become a stay at home mom, you definitely thought of the first month as a vacation. A well needed vacation! You were finally able to watch TV shows you always heard of but never got to see. You got to casually go through all the junk drawers in the house and sort through every little thing that you have pushed away from.

After getting all of the small stuff out of the way, the best part of the day comes; your kids come home from school. You start dinner with a cheerful heart, anxiously waiting for your husband that is so kind to not make you work anymore, come through the door.

Now fast forward to the future of three to six months later. Laugh with me as we now look around with the constant noise and mess; as we hope our husbands put in an extra 30 minutes at work so we can get some extra time to clean and think of what is for dinner.

Praying through Spiritual Warfare in your Marriage.

Spiritual warfare is real and can be devastating to our lives. Marriage is where I have personally endured spiritual warfare many times. Especially when it came to feeling defeated spiritually and mentally as a wife.

What once seemed like just a silly thought would suddenly bombard my mind with full force of negativity, which eventually damaged my self confidence and burdened relationships surrounding around me; especially my marriage.

I had to learn how to fight and rise from the habit of falling to the battles.

Through spiritual warfare, Prayer is one of the most spiritual deadliest weapons to breakthrough and conquer the battle against the enemy. Prayer brings out the authority you have in the Lord as you speak against what the devil is trying to kill. The first part of John 10:10 tells us:

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…

In marriage we can sometimes become overwhelmed with the thoughts of; “Am I a good enough wife? Am I being the wife God called me to be? Could I be prettier or more adventurous for my husband?”

67 Encouraging Things to say to your Husband.

One of the greatest desires for me is to be a wife that consistently speaks life to my marriage. Words are so strong, vital, and active. They can either bring life or death, joy or pain, hope or despair.

Words matter! Whether written or spoken, we should consciously be choosing to positively use them often, especially in our marriages.

A few years ago, through self reflection I learned I was not always the best at expressing my love to people, especially to my husband. But more than anything in my heart, I had a deep desire to speak words that could encourage, bring intimacy, and that would build up my marriage.

I earnestly want my husband to always feel secure and well aware of my love for him. As we all know actions speak louder than words. I am fully confident expressing my love to him and my children with actions by actively being involved, present, and willing to serve my family but there is a time to speak it.

When we speak uplifting words to our spouse, we bring assurance to the actions. When we hear positive words of affirmation, we build up in faith of what seems unseen most days.

Not to mention….consistently speaking life to your marriage contributes to building your husband up as a spiritually leader. It builds him to want to care for , protect more, and to lead righteously when he knows his wife appreciates him as a godly husband.

Hope for the Hurting Wife. Trusting God to Restore.

I will never forget the day that I just knew it was the beginning to the end of my marriage. I was literally paralyzed from the realization. The pain in my stomach was heavy and overwhelming but the rest of my body was numb. I couldn’t stand from the floor that I had just lifted my head from sobbing and screaming fiercely into.

That morning I woke up with my husband next to me in bed. I got dressed for work and left the house just like I would do any other day. But for some reason that particular day, I left with a heavy pain in the middle of my stomach. I was unsettled all day. I couldn’t figure out why. Why was fear overwhelming me that specific day?

My husband and I were on a year of constant arguing and throwing the word divorce into each others faces. It was the longest year of my life. It was rare to just have a normal day at that point. He was constantly leaving the home for days at a time every time we fought. We were at the point of living a lie. We worked more on looking good in front of people as a happy couple than we were trying to actually become a happy couple.

By lunch time, I worked up the courage to call my husband, no answer. I became sick, literally sick to my stomach as the phone continued to just ring. Hours later, I walked into our home and immediately felt emptiness. I ran to our bedroom and sitting right there on the nightstand was his wedding band. He had never left his wedding band behind. Every time he has left he never left his ring.

Writing your husband love letters

As I think about the man that I have been blessed with, I think about how much I can write to him about him. I can easily write a lengthy love letter of how much he has loved me, blessed me, and has grown with me in our marriage. With my love I can easily write a hopeless romantic letter to him.

Giving God all the Glory…

I do believe the Lord wants us to write love letters to our husbands. When we write to our husbands about the godly man we are blessed with, we are giving God all the Glory. No man can be a godly man without God.

Just as Paul wrote to the Corinthians; what they are described in the letters of how they serve God, they are just as in person.

Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present. 2 Corinthians 2:11

Five Things I pray for myself to become a better wife

When I first married I would pray often for my husband and for the situations we were facing. I prayed for the arguments that was happening repeatedly and for the things I just simply did not like.

For the moment, prayer would give me hope, satisfaction, and relief. I would stand up from my knees, wipe my tears, and feel confident that I did exactly what I was called to do as a wife.

But with negative thinking, I would say, “Unlike my husband I took the situation to prayer.”

I made the choice to take his temper to Christ. To take his financial habits to Christ and to take his walls that was causing lack of intimacy to Christ.

I did what I was called to do as a wife that held a spiritual position in the home. I chased God with what I thought was ‘righteousness’.
