What an awesome time to begin our journey to improve our relationships with our spouses. I have been blessed to witness a relationship that is lived all out between William's parents.
Betty Ann and William Sr. will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary tomorrow. TRULY AMAZING! Seven children later, they are still in love. It's encouraging to know that if you trust God and invest in your marriage, you too can be as happy as they are together.
William's dad is the Pastor or Mt. Zion Temple Church of God In Christ in Brownsville, TN. For their pastor's anniversary last December, William's cousin, Tina and her husband, Earl, blessed them with an all expenses paid cruise to Alaska. They took the trip last week and my mother in law was telling me what a wonderful time they had.
She said 'I'd never would have thought I would go on a cruise, given how afraid of water I am. When Tina started talking about the trip, I said, there is no way I'm going. But as my husband kept talking about it, I began to warm up to the idea. I prayed about it and a calm came over me and I said, Well, if my husband is going, then I'll go.'
What an awesome testimony! She heard her husband's desire, prayed about it, and got in alignment with his vision. That is certainly a lesson I could learn more about. I think about the simple things...going to bible study on Wednesday. William has committed himself to going every week and being on time. It seems like I am content to just make it there...at whatever time I show up. Yet, he has expressed his desire. I need to pray about it...wait for the peace of God to take over the situation and then get in alignment to his vision. May be in this case, I just need to get in alignment with his vision :-).
Two more days until 6/15 and the start of the Love Dare...can't wait to join you. Be blessed.
