Wordless Wednesday: My V-day Crush

With Valentines Day around the corner, I wanted to show a little love to the man of my life. He supports me and encourages me in every part of our life together. I love you so much my handsome Hubby!

Prayer and Husbands

As a wife, are we not given the privilege and responsibility to keep our husband (or future husband) at the top of our prayer list? This is concept that is not often thought about. We often are prompted to pray for our lives, our worries, a big decision, a sick or hurting friend, etc. How much more important should it be that we lift our husbands (or future husband) in prayer every day? Paul wrote that we should all pray for each other, Ephesians 6:18. This has been on my mind for some time now and I thought putting it into writing would be great for anyone else who has been feeling the same way.

Satan seeks to destroy Godly marriage in every way he can. However I believe prayer is powerful and we can beat Satan in his endeavors. All we need is to trust God everyday as we surrender our husbands and marriage to God. One way I am going to build this concept into my day to day is to start with a great concept I found on the blog below.

This post speaks to praying everyday, for 31days, for a different aspect of my husband, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I think this is a great starter for when you aren’t sure what to pray. It gives a direction to go in. I can’t wait to see how God uses this to bless my husband.

Day 1:

            Pray that your husband will grow spiritually and consider his accountability before the Lord. Pray that he will guard his heart by developing spiritual disciplines—Bible reading and study, prayer, meditation, scripture memorization, etc. (2 Peter 3:18; Prov. 4:23)

I also found this great list:

A great way to keep track of your prayers is to journal. Keep a record of your prayers and see how God answers them and works in your Husbands life and your marriage. Find time to pray for your husband this week. Bend God's ear for the man in your life and lift him up. 

Husbands...

      I just want to take a moment to brag on my husband. At 30 weeks pregnant I am finding there are certain things I find very hard to do. One of these activities is reaching my toes :) All I wanted today was to take off the polish and trim my toenails. A necessary evil, but none the less it was time. I tried sitting on the floor, propping my foot on my knee, standing with one foot on a chair. No matter which way you bent my body, that pregnant belly was in between me and my toes. I was telling my husband of these woes later in the car and he mentioned that he could just do it for me. (This mind you came after the comment where I stated I was just going to go get a pedicure and be done with it!) Well I laughed a little bit, but an hour later we found ourselves sitting on the couch, watching the movie UP, while my husband removed the polish and trimmed my toenails. Such a servants heart and he only complained a tiny bit, more so to make me laugh at him than anything else. 
      I have no clue what I would do without this man in my life. He loves me unconditionally and without reserve. In all my pregnant glory and never ending hormonal ups and downs, he is along for the ride. He stands right next to me and helps me laugh through the hard and in the good times enjoy the wonder of this little life growing inside of me. He is going to make a wonderful and amazing father. Granted I am biased, however, I could not have asked God for a better man to live out my life with. He has blessed me in so many ways and in 10 weeks I will get the privilege of blessing him with a son. I cannot wait to see where this new adventure of parenthood will take us. We will just have to wait and see.
