Even though I wasn't born yet 32 years ago my life changed. My husband was born, May 23, 1976. I thank God everyday that He chose to bless me with this man. We have the most wonderful marriage, more than I ever thought I would have. Growing up with divorced parents I was always afraid that history was doomed to repeat itself (don't feel bad, Mom). I thought I would end up marrying a guy like my father, but when we put our trust and hearts in God's hands He makes sure history doesn't repeat itself.
When I was a teenager I used to list the qualities I wanted in my husband to God. I listed the normal teenage stuff-good looks, romantic, sensitive...etc. What I didn't realize was that God had him picked out. Even then God knew who he was and was cultivating him to be my husband and a father to our children. I laugh as I look back at that time. The qualities I listed were so superficial. God not only gave me what I wanted for a husband he gave me what I needed. Sometimes Derek is a little too pushy (at least I think so), but I need that. I'm a procrastinator and if Derek didn't push I wouldn't get things done. So pushiness wasn't on the list of husband qualities I desired, but God knew what I needed. I love reflecting days, they make me appreciate what I have.

A Heart and Attitude Adjustment
On May 16th I received 3 books that I know are going to change my life. Derek bought me "A Woman After God's Own Heart, A Wife After God's Own Heart, and A Mother After God's Own Heart" in a box set for my birthday. I started reading "A Mother After God's Own Heart" first because if you couldn't tell from last post, I've been struggling.
The first 4 chapters or so that I've read have been amazing. God is changing my heart and attitude through this book. I feel energized, hopeful, and determined. I haven't felt that way in awhile. Praise God! He is always faithful to show us the Way.
I want to thank you wonderful woman who read my blog. You were all so supportive and I could feel your prayers. I'm praying for all of you. God bless!
