My husband Rocks Friday! (Saturday)

I can't believe it's been a whole week. Yes, I continue to neglect my blogs because of facebook. But I couldn't resist saying my husband rocks because he reads Bible stories to the kids every night and has for years and years (their whole little lives). He is carrying on a great tradition his father started with him and it is so precious.

The kids no the Bible stories so well. And even when I am tired, Daniel still goes in there and gets them ready for bed and read to them and prays with them! What a man!

My Husband Rocks Friday!

OK, I've been trying to remember to do this post every Friday. My friend Kim has even reminded me....but since I cannot seem to remember it on Friday, then I am starting it today, on Saturday! This idea came from another blog which I would link to now, but I don't know how to do that yet (anyone?). Every Friday I will put up a new reason why my husband rocks....and I encourage you to do the same if you have a husband that rocks! What a great trend.....honoring your husband!

My husband rocks because he helped Phoebe Grace with her science project today! He is so involved in the kids' everyday lives and loves to be with them. He is always taking them on special dates and walks! He takes them out when I need a break, he takes care of them when I have meetings, and he does all this without me having to ask him!

My husband rocks. Thank you Jesus for such a precious person you gave to me!

In theaters this month!

Fireproof

Hey have y'all heard about the new movie called Fireproof coming out? It is about protecting your marriage from being destroyed. My heart is so heavy right now from the news of divorce. I am furiated at the devil. The number of people, especially Christians, who are divorcing these days is astounding. We are in the last hours of the last day on Earth, I believe. The devil is working overtime to destroy God's army. I make sure everyday that I am not allowing him to touch my family.

Daniel and I have been married for over 12 years. We talk about everything. Even the things that have sometimes hurt the other. We have had ups and downs (having babies, raging hormones, adjusting to a new way of life with kids!). But the thing that has helped us stay strong is being truthful...to each other and to ourselves.

So many people live in a false reality. They believe one thing about their life, but are not seeing it for what it really is. They also do this in their relationship with God. It becomes a facade, a mask, fake. And days turn into months and years, and before long the person is wondering why they are not happy in their marriage.

God has given me a desire for truth in my life. I've always dug until I found the truth. I could never let things go or forget about things that were not explained. Jesus said "...you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32

In the last days we have to see things for what they really are....in the eyes of Truth! When you allow God to change your heart as you seek Him, your eyes are opened to the lies and deception in your life. You see the fiery darts of the enemy and know to cast them down instead of accepting them as truth in your life.

The devil is the father of lies. The devil is the father of lies. The devil is the father of lies.

If you are living a lie, if you thrive on lies, or if you are believing the lies the devil tells you about yourself, you are not walking in the Truth. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life!" In a messed up world when stupid reality shows full of lies are being watched by Christians are rated #1, aren't you glad as Believers we are led by Truth! That when the world tries to tangle us in its web of hatred and lust, that we have the Word of God to guide us through.

I am!

Facebook is to blame!

I know I've neglected my blog. I admit it. I was just trying to find out how many of you actually read my blog! I can definitely blame it on facebook. For years of loathing myspace because of all the sad stories I heard about young girls, I have so far found facebook to be fine. I like the fact that I can rate the ads, and I think they've figured out by now that I am a Christian.

I have added this blog to the notes section of it, so we'll see if it works.

So if you miss me here, catch me on facebook!
