You can read part 1 here and part2 here. One of the things that amazed me in my search on how to pray for my husband was all the verses that applied to me. I combed through my journals to organize and here are some verses from the Psalms that applied to me. **Whenever I [...]
I thought I should clarify that when I say “Battle plan”, I don’t mean I’m battling my husband. This fight is with the true enemy. One time a lady assigned to counsel with me, told me that she thinks we give the devil too much credit. I will be the first to tell you that [...]
In Honoring my Covenant, I shared with you about my studying and note-taking. I began to write down verses that I could apply to HIM! (sort of funny huh?). I was amazed to find that the majority of the verses I wrote down applied to ME. I also found some that applied to our child. [...]

This post on forgiveness will probably not be the most beautiful post I’ve ever written. My journey to forgive my husband lasted for a very long time. It wasn’t instant and it wasn’t easy. I still struggle sometimes and have to ask the Lord for his power and strength to help me. When my son [...]
