“Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.” Romans 6:13 (NLT) I have heard the idea of asking, […]
Words of Encouragement | War or Peace?
May 19, 2015
How would you like the time you are here on earth to be full of life and peace? There is nothing worse than death and war/disturbance. I don’t know about you, but when I got married I thought of spending time with my husband (my best friend), bringing joy, peace, and a living, growing relationship! Many times, sadly, this is […]
Words of Encouragement | What Will Today Bring Into Our Lives And What Will We Learn From Them?
April 13, 2015
Today, I received a prayer card from the Christian Health Care that we have our insurance through. I like it because every month I get to see who we are sending help to. I opened up the envelope today and my prayer card made me cry. Her name is Teresa and her husband passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. I […]
Words of Encouragement | Finding Release From A Husband Who Won’t Change
March 30, 2015
What is a woman to do when her husband will not minister to her spirit? So many times we get asked, “What do I do with my heart in the meantime?” Well, when two become one; they become one. Most men think this oneness is sexually but in actuality it is a oneness of heart/spirit, body and mind. Often, not […]

Words of Encouragement | Effectively Being a Help Meet Part 2
December 16, 2014
Last week we discussed the encouragement of ways to be a more efficient helper for our husbands.

Then we saw how we need to share with […]

Words of Encouragement | Will Anyone Listen and Care?
November 7, 2014
In talking with women, I have continued to hear something that is very concerning. It seems like women are confused about what their role in a marriage is. No one has taught them that they have a “job” that God gave them when they got married. I love to speak with young girls when they are thinking about getting married […]
Words of Encouragement | God Uses a Puzzle in a Man’s Life
August 15, 2014
One of our CQI students (a husband and wife), seeing this posting about puzzles, decided that they would also put together a puzzle. After they had been working on it for some time, his wife was looking for a particular piece. It seemed easy to find because of its distinguished markings with colors. The husband, after carefully looking at […]
