Home is Where the Heart is

I just finished listening to Home is Where the Heart Is. All I can say is -- get yourself a copy. It is worth every penny. We desperately need to hear this message as wives and mothers and to catch this vision to pass on to our daughters.

I was thoroughly convicted and pray that I don't just hear the message, but that I heed the message. I want to be a "Super Proverbs 31 Woman" -- not for any worldly praise or any personal satisfaction, but because I want to honor the Lord and bless my husband and family. I want to cultivate beauty in everything in our home. I want the beauty of the Lord to radiate in all I do and say. I have so far to go, but this is what I am going to aim for, by the grace of God.

My husband deserves to be the king of a beautiful castle -- our home! I want to delight in making our home a haven for him to come home to. Standing behind him and doing all I can to make him successful is the greatest work I could ever do on this earth.

Pray for me, I feel so inadequate. Praise God that He is faithful and long-suffering!

God is such a loving and patient God. He doesn't see you as inadequate. He sees you as wonderful right where you are at today, without being perfect. God wants you to see you as He sees you....with eyes of acceptance. The more you accept and praise where you are at today you will be amazed by the peace and joy you will begin to know. Best hopes.

I am confused on how to post a comment. I see the on I made today did not post, but the one for yesterday did. Somehow I happened to find your response, but am really unclear. How can I link your site at my webpage?

Audrey -- you can add me to your links if you have a blog. Blogger walks you through how to do that. I'm not real technical so I'd have a hard time explaining it. I know that if you go to the "help" section on Blogger.com, they tell you how to do it, though.

Your comments are posting just fine, I believe.

Stand Behind, or Beside?

"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life...Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." 2 Corinthians 3:5-6; 17-18

I'll pray for you. Will you pray for me? :-)
Blessings,
Lea
