31 Days of Praying for my Husband-to-be: Day 30

~~~~~*~~~~~

Day 30
Pray that your husband will serve God and others with pure motives. Pray that he will obey the Lord from his heart, and glorify Him in everything.


1 Corinthians 10:13
The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

John 7:17-18
Anyone who wants to do the will of God will know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own. Those who speak for themselves want glory only for themselves, but a person who seeks to honor the one who sent him speaks truth, not lies.

Colossians 3:23-24
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.

Much Love,

I love to Create!

I'm pretty sure none of my bridesmaids will see this before they get their cards in the mail. (If you do, forget you saw it and act surprised!!) I've always wanted to make cute little cards asking my best friends to be my bridesmaids. So here is what I came up with. (Each one is a little different.)











What do you think? I'm still looking for more ideas for my invitations. I will be making those too. I want to make as much as possible. I also just bought this awesome monogram stamper from Hobby Lobby today, HALF OFF!! I will be using this for a TON of stuff. I have images in my head of things I can use this stamper for years to come! Check out the website to see more of their stuff.

Salute the Troops Concerts!

This weekend has already been BUSY! And it's not even over yet. For those of you who don't know, my husband-to-be is a soldier. Friday night we went to the Salute the Troops concert at Ft Campbell KY. The performers were John Rich (of Big & Rich), Jake Owen, Hank Williams Jr, and last, but certainly not least, Carrie Underwood! We were so excited. The bad thing was, we got there an hour before the concert started. We were soooo far away from the stage that, the few times we actually did see the performers, they looked smaller than 1/4 of an inch tall! But it was still fun. We were there til 11:30pm!

Tonight though... Matthew's best friend, Rodney Watts, got to open for Rodney Atkins! We were so excited. We got there around 2pm. Wanna see how close we were to the stage?


NO ZOOM ON THIS PEOPLE!!!

It was so much fun. Rodney was awesome. Both of them! LOL! Here's just a few of the pics. I have the rest on my facebook.






Singing the song "Coming Home" about soldiers.





I'm gonna add a few more, but my computer is being a butt right now. Check back tomorrow!

Day 27
Pray that your husband will understand the importance of taking care of his body—the temple of the Holy Spirit—for the glory of God. Pray that he will practice self-control by making wise food choices, and get sufficient exercise to stay healthy.


Romans 12:1-2
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

1 Corinthians 9:27
I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

Much Love,

My Husband-to-be Rocks!

This week I was feeling pretty crappy. I can't really explain it. It just wasn't a great week for me. Physically, emotionally, mentally. My amazing husband-to-be was so sweet. He did laundry. He made dinner. He even gave me a back rub. (With a back massager thing. LOL!) It made me feel so much better. I am so lucky.

Today we have been together for 9 months. And exactly one year from today, we will become husband and wife.

YAY!!!

Much Love,

Day 26
Pray that your husband will discover and live his God-given purpose. Pray that he will offer all his dreams to the Lord, and pursue only those goals that will bring God glory and count for eternity.


Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

Sometimes people just IRK me

Sometimes the US Army really irks me. Or more specifically, the guys in the Army band that my husband-to-be works with. They had a gig tonight about an hour away. Matthew wanted us to go, so he was going to ride with us. Well, then he decided to go with the band, so we wouldn't have to sit out in the sun for several hours before they even started. Their form time was 4pm, leaving at 4:15pm. He got there at 4pm and they were already gone! They had left at 3:55pm. He was so mad because they left 20 minutes before they were supposed to and didn't even wait to see if he was going to ride with them.

Needless to say, he called me in a state of panic because he didn't have gas or money for gas, so I had to run to the gas station with some cash. Then he was frustrated because we weren't ready to go and now we have to drive 2 cars.

Oh well. C'est la vie.

Much Love,
