What’s a Wife to Do When a Husband is Hard to Love?

Today I’m answering one of my reader’s questions in a video.

husband hard to love

I’m hoping by taking this approach it will alleviate the eye/migraine problems I’ve been having due to spending so much time on the computer for this ministry! 🙂

If you can’t view the video in your reader, click here.

It’s an interesting thing when I realized I couldn’t respond to all of my readers questions due to my health.  As a result of this, of course I wondered what God was up to in my life.  I know He always has a better plan for our lives…..even if we can’t see it.

So here’s a glimpse into what He’s doing here.

I don’t like to be on camera and I don’t like public speaking.  (Most of you already know this.)  But what I do like to do is encourage and equip Christian women to live for the Lord.  And I do like obeying my Father….even when it doesn’t always feel good!

And today, making this video….well, it didn’t feel good.  But in essence, I was forced to do so if I wanted to continue to pour into others for the sake of the Lord.  Otherwise, I know if I continue down this path of spending a great amount of time in front of the computer, my health will suffer.  So, in a nutshell, in a loving and humorous way, God pushed me out of the boat! 🙂  He wanted me to walk on water to Him as He was sending me to Ninevah; a place where I did not want to go.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” Isaiah 6:8

There will ALWAYS be a time in our Christian journey that God is going to ask us, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”

Dear friend, what will your response be?

I’m going to let you in on a little secret….you’ll never regret saying ‘yes’ to God! Not. Ever.

Live a poured out life for Christ,
