"Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything."
I love this passage and I am so thankful to have a wonderful husband who loves me and leads me as Christ leads the church. My husband is not perfect, but I know he is lead by God when it matters most and I am so thankful to rest in that.
I love my Husband and the divine role he plays in mine and my children's lives.

There is None Like YOU
The words to a song are singing in my mind... "I could search for all eternity long, and find; there is none like You". Wow! So true. No matter what this life may bring your way there is only ONE answer... Jesus. The depths of His love, healing, forgiveness, grace, strength, joy, and peace are matchless and we as humans have yet to tap into the depths of the freedoms we have IN HIM. We get so hung up on symptoms, distractions of this world and our own human frailties and limitations that we fail to simply look up and let God melt it all away. God will melt it all away. God WILL melt it all away! There is nothing, NOTHING this world or this life can bring our way that is impossible for Him! He has not given us a spirit of fear, panic, dismay, failure, NO, BUT He HAS given to us a spirit of Power, a spirit of Love and a SOUND MIND! Wooh! God, you are so wonderful! You are so Great!!!
Romans 8:28 - 39 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; thoes he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. What, then, shall we say in reponse to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died - more than that, who was raised to life - is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall seperate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

A FULL Heart
My heart is so filled to overflowing with the Love and Goodness of God. The kid's song "It's Bubblin" is such a reality for me and I am so thankful for the Holy Spirit who is my constant Companion and Counselor.
On my way to church today as we were running late I was so content and peaceful and not frantic and worried about being late... a change of heart just came over me that I may not be 'on time' but I am 'just in time' for... something great! I am still striving to be more punctual, but now in grace and not in my own strength because that just has never worked. :o)
Anyways...
On the way home from church my heart was so full that I had to put a note in my phone while I was in the Wendy's drive thru... Here they are... I will ponder these and write more on them as I find time...
"You cannot love UNCONDITIONALLY until you are loved unconditionally... learn to be loved."
"Be no one's puppet, only God's child. Change yourself for no one but only allow God to change you to be more like Him. You will never please everyone and that is not what we should try to do anyways."
