Lead me! Journey of Marriage



I love my husband so much! We celebrated 15 years of marriage this past month.  So exciting! People ask WOW what's your secret? PASSION!!! Well that helps. It hasn't been easy we have our moments.  But I am so thankful that we have more happy and joyful moments then the rough ones! In the beginning of our marriage I said things that to this day I wish I never said.  These past 6 months have been really hard. In the midst of it all I have seen God's hand in it all! 

We are on a Journey! We went for a Jog the other day and as I was slowing down I was right behind my husband and as I watched this man that I have shared life with now for 17.5 years I heard the Lord speaking to me.  Do you see him in front of you leading you? Yes Lord I do. Do you see the curve and around that curve there are straight paths, there are hills and slopes. Part of the path is little rocky and another part of the path it is totally smooth. This is what your life with your husband is like.  You may have rocky moments, you may not see around the corner. You may have to go up a hill and it will  get tiresome and going down the hill is easy.  Sometimes there is a bump in the road but it isn't for long. The smooth part was great.  The Lord showed me that he gave me Jimmy to lead me.  As we were running this path I slacked a bit, but he was constantly checking on me.  Sending Lexi to give me water and at the end of this path he waited for me.  Christ was showing me that Jimmy is always taking care me, He is always making sure that I am provided for and sometimes He needs to wait for me to catch up. (FYI an attitude adjustment) Yes the spoiled brat in me comes out even at the age of 36! At the last part of the Jog we Ran together.  At this time God showed me that we are together in this Journey. (he did slow down a bit for me) Except  him as your Leader and let him lead you, but also know he is your partner, your best friend, the one you became one with and you will be together in this Journey. I feel so blessed to have this man of God and I love him with all my heart. God said, remember to pray for  him Daily! He is human and has human struggles too! He gets weary, tired, and stress from work can really pay toll on him.  So daily I have been laying my husband before the Lord.  I love that My God walks with my Husband daily. I just want to challenge you to pray for your hubby. Pray for him as he walks his daily walk.  We can't be with them all day everyday, but we can pray for them and their daily challenges!
