It was very helpful in my desire to be a good "help meet" for him. <br /><br />And I know the AWESOME power of just being quiet and praying! My husband has come to me at times - after the Lord has changed his mind on something - and said, "You've been praying, haven't you?!" :)<br /><br />I got a great reminder a while back from a couple of ministries - please see my Sept 24 blog post at www.osothankful.blogspot.com<br /><br />Have a wonderful, quiet, praying day! lisa<br /><br />p.s. it's no coincidence that I just got another email regarding being quiet and listening more!

It's amazing how you can take something that women can relate to and make it into a great analogy.<br /><br />I am the opposite extreme during child birth, by the way. For all five of my kids I was quiet and when the time came, I just said "I'm ready to push now" as the nurses stared at me in disbelief.<br /><br />In marriage I am the same way. There are times when I hold my tongue and then, if I feel like it's God's timing, I come to my husband in love and say "I need to talk to you about something."<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br />-Melissamholgatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03418317558780973735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-40558633256981674012009-11-10T08:34:55.861-05:002009-11-10T08:34:55.861-05:00When you mentioned some women that would close the...When you mentioned some women that would close their eyes so they don't look at you when you'd try to coach them to stop yelling, my mind immediately went to a child closing their eyes, plugging their ears and making even louder noise and saying, "I can't hear you! I can't hear you! na-na-na-na-nana". <br /><br />I'd gotten that way in my marriage sometimes, but I finally got the message to calm down in my spirit. I never outwardly "hollered", but inside I was kicking and screaming. <br /><br />Now I'm calm on the inside to and I know that whatever I bring to God that He'll deal with me first then wherever else its needed. I find in that moment that sometimes its a wrong attitude that I have.<br /><br />Thank you SUE for this post!!Kelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074115439003700205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-77406400366300158682009-11-10T08:29:02.898-05:002009-11-10T08:29:02.898-05:00This is great imagery and just the words I needed ...This is great imagery and just the words I needed for this day. I actually did use my Lamaze breathing with both childbirths. Even today when things are stressful and tense, I find myself doing the deep, cleansing breaths. <br /><br />Lately, however, it seems I've forgotten how to breath through the pain. The stresses of life, work, step-parenting and a couple of very strong willed children have had me near the "scream through the panick" stage. Thank you for this very timely reminder.<br /><br />Incidentally, I was at a women's retreat this weekend and the speaker used that Hebrews verse often during the weekend. Perhaps God is telling me it's time to commit that verse to memory, and to practice. <br /><br />Blessings my dear friend!Cheryl Smithhttp://www.culturesmithconsulting.com/newsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-1218271078882487122009-11-10T08:06:44.534-05:002009-11-10T08:06:44.534-05:00Hi!

I often pray, "Lord, either change him, change me, or change us both, but make sure that we are in Your will." God has never failed to answer, and a lot of the time, He changes me! I read once that submitting can mean that I mold myself around my husband. I guess even the term "helpmate" lends itself more to me changing than him anyway if I am helping him. And I think too, that the husband being won without a word holds true for saved husbands as well as unsaved. But boy, can that be hard sometimes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-54314733237907566752009-11-10T08:01:29.252-05:002009-11-10T08:01:29.252-05:00Thanks for the reminder...keep my mouth shut...got...Thanks for the reminder...keep my mouth shut...got it!:o)Tamathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161946723918013409noreply@blogger.com
