Becoming a Christ-Centered Wife

Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!  Psalm 27:14 I should really title this post, The Wife Who Cries, because that’s who I was the other day as hot tears ran down my face.  My circumstances just set me over the edge…

He walked out of the house one day in a rush and just before he shut the front door he snapped at me.  His tone was harsh and his mood was irritable. The term “kicked the dog” came to my mind, and I felt like I was the dog he just kicked. My flesh wanted…

Last week in our Becoming a Christ-Centered Wife series I shared about being a Fear-Filled Wife with the desire to become a Faith-Filled Wife in Part 1.  Part 2 of this post is discussing the flip side of faith in marriage, more specifically when you’ve had deep faith like David as he defeated Goliath and…

So your man wants to move you and your family across the country?  Or maybe he wants to quit his job and go into full-time ministry?  Perhaps either one of you have lost your job and you can’t find a new one?  Or maybe you’ve just received a devastating diagnosis? Now what do all of…

Today I’m starting a new series called, Becoming a Christ-Centered Wife!  Well, actually, the series already started earlier this week when I wrote about The Content Wife.  Wait.  What?  Don’t think you missed something, because you didn’t.  Let me explain… I had no intention of writing a series because frankly, I’m trying to write a…
