My Pastor Hubby I LOVE HIM

Lesson learned the past few days:
There have been so many……so many i really can’t share BUT I have made a few commitments that have been life changing.  Me a woman of my word.   Do NOT steal from God.  When you don’t take things toHim in Prayer you are steling a couple of key things from Him ( I feel a Blog Post coming on) and I’m re-reading some books on what is to be a pastor’s wife.   Its ngreat to review and it is a humbling experience because you see where your shortcomings are and you get a renewed sense of encouragement that you are not the only one goiung through rough spots

On my mind:
far too much and I can’t share any of it-sorry

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:

Did you know there is a Psalm that says “The Steadfast Love of the Lord endures forever  24 or 25 times…..Talk about God wanting us to get something through our thick skulls.
