Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Pray that your husband will learn how to relax in the Lord and, in his greatest times of stress, find joy and peace in his relationship with God. Pray that he will submit his schedule to the Lord.


Nehemiah 8:10
And Nehemiah[a] continued, “Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!”


Proverbs 17:22
A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.

New Moon

I FINALLY finished New Moon! After a month of not even being able to FIND it, with is being hidden in the depths of my overflowing storage unit. I have finished reading it. Loved it.

So now I'm on to Eclipse. I was waiting until it came out in paperback. I'm so picky. I don't know why, but I don't like hardcover books. So I didn't want to buy Eclipse until I could get paperback. Then I was getting close to the end of New Moon and I didn't want to have to wait for much longer to start reading Eclipse. I bought it. In hardcover.

Last night, Matthew tells me they have it at Walmart. IN PAPERBACK!! After I bought the hardcover book 4 days before!!! UGH!

We took the hardcover copy back today so I could get my paperback copy. Now I'm going to go read it. HEHE!

Much Love,

My Husband-to-Be Rocks!

My amazing husband-to-be works very hard. He has two jobs. His part time job is a server at Outback Steakhouse. This job really wears him out, especially after working all day at his main job. His main job is a Sergeant in the United States Army. I am so proud of him. He has been in the military for almost 17 years.


This picture was taken in March. Before he started to lose the weight. (I will try to get a new pic in uniform, but he is very picky about that!)

In the last couple of years or so he has been struggling with weight problems. It got to the point where we were concerned about his future in the military. Well, in the last few months (since May) he has gotten almost all the way down to his ideal weight. He is such an inspiration for me!

SO PROUD!

Much Love,

31 Days of Praying for my Husband-to-Be: Day 19

~~~~~*~~~~~

Day 19
Pray that your husband will be patient and a man of peace. Pray that he will not give in to anger, but will allow the Holy Spirit to control his responses.


Romans 14:19
So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.


Psalm 34:14
Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
