Grace………..

/

Wow it has been a few weeks since I have been on here, the Lord dealt swiftly with my  wrong doing and I am thankful that he gives me grace to learn from my mistakes.

I was feeling guilty that I wasn’t doing what I was 1st called to be—a wife.  I was putting all my selfish desires above my husbands and I was in the wrong.

The Lord knows that sometimes I don’t listen so he was able to have my laptop, actually both of our laptops be broken during this time, so that I was in no way going to be able to do my blog no matter what.  Thankfully he is showing me His way, not my own.

I plan to ask the Lord before I “assume” it is what He wants.  Seeking Him in prayer each and every day about how my day should unfold.

I failed………I failed as a wife……I failed as a child of God.

 

but God is so wonderful in his infinite power and wisdom to allow me something called

Grace

Grace for another chance……grace to say its okay we all make mistakes, and grace to say tomorrow is another day.

Let’s learn from this and move on.  Being ready for the next.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will
boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2 Corinthians 12:9

Failing at being a wife……

/

Today I failed as a wife…………………………….
My husband,whom has worked a lot of hours this past month, just wanted to spend some quality alone time tonight and I shunned him. Instead he is off in the bedroom watching a movie, and I am out here writing my blog.

It doesn’t seem right………

But of course I justify my actions because I have been up since 7 am this morning, running the household alone, while everyone else got to sleep in and take relaxing times today. The baby has been extra fussy and wants to be held more, the 2 and 3 year old are louder than usual—and blah, blah, blah,–I am exhausted and just want to crawl into bed alone and take a long nap.

So I sulk In my head, knowing that I am in the wrong for what I am justifying. I think to myself no other wife does ALL the work like I do. I compare and contrast different husband and wife situations and where is it getting me?

Further away from my husband and God.

Ephesians 5:22
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

I need to remember that it does not matter what I think is “fair” in my life. Jesus Christ did not get treatly fairly in his life. Most godly people, taking a stand for Christ are not treated fairly in their lives. If I believe wholeheartedly that God is in control of my life and that all of these “unfair acts” are necessary tools to mold and make me be a better person then I need to take my cross and bear it. I need to realize that I will keep failing in my duties as a wife and mother if I succumb to these lies and temptations. I need to quit these self pity thoughts and move onward.
What do I do from here? I ask for forgiveness. I admit I am a failure and I get back up again and change my attitude for tomorrow. I go above and beyond my duties as a wife to show my husband that I do love and care for him deeply. I apologize for being in a fleshy mood.

…………………onward to another day, another chance at redemption
