Lessons


It has been a while since I posted, but that is because I have been on quite an interesting spiritual journey. I feel like I am stepping out of a fog. :)

So just real quick... I am learning two lessons right now.
1) 2 Corinthians 11:3 "But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ."
I am halfway through a great book entitled, "Becoming a Woman of Simplicity." This began as a community-wide women's bible study of sorts. It has been a tremendous blessing for me and now I look at life from a totally different lens.  This has led me to the second lesson I am learning...
2) Ephesians 5:22 "Wives, submit to your husbands as to The Lord."
I am committing to being the submissive wife God has called me to be! This is huge for me because I am a very driven person and I didn't fully understand submission.  Well, God has enlightened me, and I have to say I am loving it! Is it hard at times? Yes, but it is right and right feels so much better than wrong.  I have found several sites that have helped me begin, but the most helpful site has been: peacefulwife.com. In fact, the other sites I have read are linked in posts from this site. :)

I will try to share some lessons on my journey. ;) We shall see, this growth has been pretty personal and it is hard to admit my shortcomings, but isn't it important to be transparent in order for others to see how God works in our lives?
