Prayers Answered

 My husband is the most excited for me, besides myself, that I got a job in a Christian environment with women. Thanks for prayers! This means, we. have come to the decision together, our littlest will be in our neighborhood public school. I read an article about a child's faith being sharpened in the world, and it held me. Learning to have authentic faith, not easy faith. I'm also thankful for Trump ending the political warfare in the public schools-which was a big go forward.

I will still be using Rod and Staff Bible with her at home as my call for her. Also, Spanish at home.

I'm excited to save money and have family vacation money.  My hubby can't fly, so I need to help. He gets a permanent heart chip in place. We are getting along wonderfully.  God is always good.

Love,

Briana

Mistakes in my life are there, Jesus heals.  Aren't we glad? Jesus heals us all. Working on a more meek and quiet spirit-please laugh, I'm a work in progress. Cherishing my husband and kids. Living quietly and working with my own hands. Thank you Lord for saving me on that cross of calvary. May we all humbly come to the foot of the cross. May we seek restoration and God's ways in our life and listen to his nudges.  Blessings to you and yours.

Got Questions- A Biblical Marriage

 I loved this devo and want my marriage to be stronger each new day. When married, it's important to know you are one flesh with your spouse and no one is to seperate this oneness as commanded by the Lord. Marriage has great and rough seasons, but don't let the enemy steal, kill, or destroy what God has joined together. 

Devo:

What does the Bible say about marriage?

ANSWER

The Bible records the creation of marriage in Genesis 2:23–24: “The man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called “woman,” for she was taken out of man.’ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.” God created man and then made woman to complement him. In the Bible marriage is God’s “fix” for the fact that “it is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18).

As the Bible describes the first marriage, it uses the word helper to identify Eve (Genesis 2:20). To “help” in this context means “to surround, to protect or aid.” God created Eve to come alongside Adam as his "other half," to be his aid and his helper. The Bible says that marriage causes a man and woman to become “one flesh.” This oneness is manifested most fully in the physical union of sexual intimacy. The New Testament adds a warning regarding this oneness: “So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate” (Matthew 19:6).

Several of Paul’s epistles refer to marriage and how believers are to operate within the marriage relationship. One such passage is Ephesians 5:22–33. Studying this passage provides some key truths concerning what the Bible says marriage should be.

The Bible, in Ephesians 5, says a successful biblical marriage involves both the husband and the wife fulfilling certain roles: “Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior” (Ephesians 5:22–23). “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” (Ephesians 5:25). “In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church” (Ephesians 5:28–29). “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh” (Ephesians 5:31).

When a believing husband and wife institute God’s principles of marriage in the Bible, a solid, healthy marriage results. A biblically based marriage keeps Christ as the head of the man and the wife together. The biblical concept of marriage involves a oneness between a husband and wife that pictures the oneness of Christ with His church.

Job Seeking

 Thank you all for prayers for my seeking a job position. My heart is to be a full-time elementary teacher or pre-k teacher. I am now thankful I worked so hard on my degrees. The Lord has spun our lives around 360 degrees, and please pray for my sweet husband. He has had some heart troubles and currently is looking to be on medical leave or to work with his company in other ways with flying. Basically, I'm needed to aid our family also.

I have decided if I can't homeschool, I want to teach. That's my passion. I love working with children, pointing them to the Savior, and teaching academics. My goal would be prek-2nd grade. If I'm in the public schools, I will be a servant and follow all guidelines in setting a hardworking and upright example. If I'm in the Christian schools, I will get to help spread the gospel. 

Anyways, if the Lord says no and to keep homeschooling and staying at home, thats wonderful too. I have a huge job of taking care of our home and kids and everyone each day. If the Lord says we are in a new season of life for us to go to school and have Mama teach (which is what I used to do with my kids at school with me) I'll be over the moon. 

"A man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps"...

Thanks for lifting us up.
