Excellent Wife Study 1

OMGOODNESS so i LOVE this study !! Its The Excellent Wife bible study by Martha Peace and I HIGHLY recommend it... I started this study about a month in a half ago and God has totaly changed alot of ways of how I think and do things now <3
Ive always wanted to be a stay at home mom and wife ,but after becoming it I never really embraced it or looked at it like that was my job. I mean I took care of my son and made dinner for him and my husband and do the normal things that wives do but there was always complaining with it or a thought in my mind thinking I should have help from my husband with all this stuff , why doesnt he help or care to,and id be selffish and want him to work all day and just spend all his extra time with me and doing what I wanted to do.
well ive soon found out from just a little bit of digging into Gods word that its my job to do it all and that my husband works his butt off all day and does his job. I need to step it up and take care of my job. Also by fulfilling my purpose, (what God has made me to do ) sumitting to my husband and in that glorifing God! Iam so different in every way. I look at house work as my job instead of a child that doesnt understand why she has to do it and puts it off because lets be honest I didnt care. I didnt see how cleaning, cooking and doing little things around the house that make my husband happy would make God happy and in turn making myself more happy. And when it comes to taking care of cory my son I never complained or anything and ive allllllways been there for him plz dont take this as i ever was not, but i always was like man I change Every diaper why cant chris(my husband) change some lol or I allllways seem to give the baths and pick out and change his clothes. LOL might seem silly to complain about this but to me i just didnt understand and in my head (which i belive do to my neclect to God and his word ) satan would use all this and I would think well he doesnt do this because he just doenst care or he doesnt want a family and this is all to much for him or maybe it all was to soon (marriage and a child). And of course that would bring arguements and him not being perfect like us all , would say things that would reasurre my feelings he didnt care and then I would too of course and then we'd just end up not talking and then we all know that that even makes it TEN million times worse .
Well now just the little bit of this study ive done and praying about it all and really wanting to change, God has opened my eyes to aLOt and ive changed aLOT !!
Also because I've done Alot of changing I believe chris feels like he can talk to me and we have gotten sooo close . Ive always thought of him like my best friend but never heard him tell me that back and it always kinda felt like ..o okay well ur mine anyways lol ..but the other day he told me he felt like I was his best friend and omygoodness I fell soooo in love with him even more then I was . God blesses u beyond anything you can magine when you glorify him and in that summiting to ur husband its our jobs as wifes <3
Now the hard to swallow truth .... 1 timothy2:12-14 explians to us that we arent meant for the authority but it is man that God gave that too and that we as woman were and are so easily decievied ( like eve in the garden ) .
Wow hearing that to alot of ppl and even myself is hard to listen to but this is gods word and god is a loving god but hes also a honest god and is telling us wat us prideful ppl need to hear!! I know what u might be thinking and i used to think i was a strong woman and could do anything ya kno and yes we can be strong in certain ways but ive come to learn through tough experinces and hard trails ive had in my life , that satan can and will easily deceive you if ur not in gods word and wanting to do be the woman God has called us to be.
sec hard to handle truth ... 1 cor 11:7-9
this explains to us that man is the glory of god but us woman are to be the glory of man and that man was not created from a woman but and woman was created from a man and for a mans sake.
soooooo lol this could be quite the debate for some woman not wanting to amit really that we are for man (yes we are to glorify god but we do that by being the glory of our husbands)and are under man not above or even really equal when is comes to authority. now yes we are equal when it comes to god looking upon us i belive and when we are judged . but this is gods word and there is no goin around his word and we are to sumit and be the glory of our men <3

This is just a little bit in the study theres soo so much more to it and Iam not even half way thor cant wait to see whats to learn next !! well more to come about this study soon
love nicole

  1. I'm so glad you are participating in that study...My friend Kristi suggested I read the book "Created to be his helpmeet" and that's what opened my eyes to being a wife according to the Bible. When we follow Gods design, things go much more smoothly!
