Interesting Thought:

"It is not my husband's job to make me a happy wife- it is his job to make me a more Godly wife."

I heard that on a christian talk radio station and it was like God was speaking directly to me. I have placed such emphasis on what John needs to do to make me happy and not on what his job really is. I think the point that the radio hosts were trying to get across is that my spouse will let me down at times, just as I will let him down. Instead of letting my happiness be dependent on what my spouse is doing for me, I need to be focusing on what God can do for me and through me. I am feeling changes as God works in me. I am surrendering control Him and I feel Him softening my heart (which can be very hard at times)!!It is also really cool to see the changes in John as well. He is really stepping up as the spirtual leader of our family. I have been putting so much pressure on John, and he could never quiet measure up to what I have wanted him to be. That's because I was the one who needed the change. I am so glad that I see that!! What a gift God has given to me.
