Selfish Pride

God has been doing some amazing things in my life over the last month.

I'm wanting to share all of it with you!!

But even though it is Wednesday I wanted to link up with Marriage Monday over at Happy Wives Club.


I love this weeks article. It goes along with some things God has been shining a light on in my heart. 

I am reboosting my marraige by remembering it is not all about me. 
J and I DO try our best to serve one another but there are times when I fail desperately at remembering to serve him. 

I put on him expections of things I may want but sometimes I forget to say, "What do you need from me?"

Before I can fix my marraige, I need to look at my spiritual life and how prideful or selfsish am I being. 

How many times do I pray for others earnestly as I do my own heartache?
Am I calling out names of the unsaved?? 

Something to think about... And I think this song says it all!

 

Staying Hopeful,
Aunt LaLa

    One of my favorite movies, the Devil's Advocate, ends with one of the most profound statements I've seen in a movie. Have you seen it before? Although it uses the term vanity, it could easily be interchanged for pride. Anyhow, this is what came to mind when I read your post (and something I can definitely relate to): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGXvj2BjZLA

One year ago today my life changed

One year ago today a new season in my life was manifested. One year ago this morning around 2am we lost our precious baby. Hope would be around 4 months right now had she been meant to stay on this earth. Even though my heart is broken I feel Gods presence with me today, so strong. Through many talks and prayers with my God, I made it through these last few days without being devastated. Through my obiedance I believe God gave more healing to my heart. Sunday morning was extremely difficult. But I received so much support. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. My sweet friends and family held me hand, rubbed my back, gave me hugs as I stood for the first time as a mom on the stage with the rest of the moms. I can not even begin to describe how much they helped. I know without their support and God's supernatural strength I wouldn't have made it through. As I left service I felt a little lighter, a little bit of that dark grief left. Last night was our women...

Never dreamed...

Starting last Monday this week was a complete roller coaster. Not sure if I could ever explain to anyone how painful it has been. I've struggled with if I should write about my experience. To write about something so close to you can make you seem so vulnerable. Writing has always helped me. I've kept a journal since I was nine. I've always been very analytical with my feelings and things going on around me. Which is why I have a journal, a prayer journal, and a blog :) Crazy, I know. I usually don't have much time to write in any of them, but the blog. I wonder how many women suffer silently because of what this one even does to us emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I don't want to suffer alone. I needed to know that what I'm feeling is normal. Even though people can be very sympathetic, some seem like it is no big deal. It was a big deal. And every second with the Lords help I'm making it. Last Monday night I had a miscarriage. Even as I type ...

I am the mom not you

Through out my life there have been many times where unsolicited advice has been overwhelming, frustrat ing ,and hurtful. There has been three times that it was all the three above. 1. When I got married 2. When I had a miscarriage 3. When I had Ethan A few months ago I asked mothers to send me things that pertained to mothering their children. Some responses were heartbreaking and made me m ad to be honest . Some were your typical insensitive things that people say. I started writing this post to give examples, but I could not continue because honestly I was getting too angry. Some of the moms I have talked to have really suffered in silence by what some others have called "help" or just saying their opinions because they "care". My heart hurts so bad for these women.  I am a pretty bold person. I have had my moments where I have had to kindly put some one in their place. I also have had to be firm. Mothers need to feel empowered! These...
