I think because my husband for the most part is easy to work with. I do remember for the first 1-2 years of our marriage everything was HORRIBLE! We had fights (not physical)...yelling matches and my husband has a voice that really carries...so the neighbors would call the police or I would take off walking down the street and he would follow me all while we are both yelling and screaming. So I also understand how the Lord will grow us in grace. The first time I was told to submit to my husband I flipped out. My thoughts were I am an educated black woman and there is no way that I will be somebody's door mat...and further more I don't think GOD would want that for any woman. And Now I am the submission advocate. Only because I understand a little more about God's purpose and plan for us as His children and how we are to work together. Marriage is a picture of Christ and His Bride. Once the Lord stained that in my heart and mind things were lots better. I would grade myself a A-/B+. Think I get it but I still have room to grow.Nicollehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04153757539083944487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373832007233221046.post-39923076321340463662008-11-04T06:21:00.000-06:002008-11-04T06:21:00.000-06:00Holly I did not know you were interested in midwif...Holly I did not know you were interested in midwifery or that you had your children at home.

I think Sara may even be interested... I had no idea you were interested though. Noah was the best birthing experience of the bunch (you know I love all my kiddos)at home with a Christian CNM!

I like to rearrange and chnage things often so my blog needs to reflect that. I wanted the huge entertainment center in my house...Phil bought it and now it is difficult (well NOT HAPPENING) to move my living room around. So I switch up the couches every now and then. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I wanted a mirror during all three of my labors...but I had them in the hospital and forgot to tell them in advance. So I too missed out. I will remember the mirror. <BR/><BR/>BTW...I love the post you have up right not about the husband, wife and sandwich. Over the weekend i talked about that with several couples and all the husbands were saying I would never do that! It was fun conversation.

Phil thinks they wrote it themselves. It is scriptural...Psalms more than likely. The lady singing Temple...I don't know her. Phil thought is was a little weird that I posted her on my blog but her voice is beautiful and the song is amazing and it ministers to me as much as I am sure it did her that day.<BR/>I found it late one night searching for live births.

I actually found your blog thru Steve O's blog.<BR/><BR/>Sorry I haven't returned your call but I appreciate you checking up on me. I am fine.<BR/><BR/>I LOVE the video of the woman singing thru her contractions...BEAUTIFUL. I would like to actually sing that song sometime. Do you happen to know the name of it and/or the artist who wrote it? Temple has a lovely, pure voice and it is awesome to hear her PRAISING THE KING thru her pain. PRAISE GOD!<BR/><BR/>Love you~<BR/>VicVKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332162122232163016noreply@blogger.com
