A great Sunday!

It's been quite a while since I updated my blog site. Well, I've been swamped with much things to do lately that's why I wasn't able to open up my account and write. It's kinda weird yet funny because I had mentioned in one of my blogs that I don't like to write, but honestly, I kinda missed blogging now hehehe. Anyways, my day was great. After the busy days at my part-time work, I finally had the time to relax and unwind. Hubby, our dog and I went to the park and flew kites. And guess what? I flew a kite for the first time of my life and I did pretty well. Not to brag, huh, but I beat my hubby in making our kites glide high. Yehey! hahaha. It was really a fun activity. It was a sunny day out and mind you, it's not that hot though. It's not too cold as well. It's just a good blend of cold and warm temperature. Spring time is really such a wonderful time of the year, weather wise.

Anyways, the most important part of today's experience that I wanna emphasize here was going to church. It's an awesome Sunday service. The preacher definitely rocked! hehehe. Yeah, I meant "rocked" as in very wise and inspirational as to dissemanating the message of the Lord about Christian marriage in a very lively way. You know what I' m saying? Like he's a kind of speaker that you wanna look forward to having over and over again because you'll never get bored to death nor tired of listening to him. It was really a good thing to hear out the whole time he's speaking. Anyways, I am sharing this with all the wives in all corners of the world. The preacher really inspirited me today about the biblical explanation of wives' role in our married lives. You wanna know what role the bible speaks about? It's about submission. Yes, being submissive to our husbands as Christian wives. (please read the facts in the books of Peter, Gallatians and Ephesians). This is really not an easy task to do because of the fact that men are from mars and women are from venus. This means that we are really totally opposite when it comes to the way we think or I guess in almost everything. So, in our thinking we tend to say "How can I submit myself to him? What if he's not heading me to the right way? What if he's not a good leader for me? and blah blah blah" Yeah, we tend to be skeptical with a lot of things because as what I have said, men and women are different in the way we think and the way we handle and treat every circumstance that comes along in our lives. Well, I know I can't speak in behalf of all women out there but come on let's face it, I think we're on the same page on this matter, right? But, why do we, wives, worry a lot? Why do we like to assert our ways and make it prevail? Why are we deceived by the thought that we can be better off if we always get what we want? You know what? Hearing the message was really good for me because it revealed to me that God is expecting me to be gently submissive to my husband since God designed him to be the spiritual leader in our family. I totally understand that this is difficult but GOd is instructing us to do it so we need to obey Him. Let's accept the fact that submission really takes a lot of self-control with regards to our pride, our own ways and thoughts but the best thing we can do is to pray to God and trust in Him. A prayer to give us strength when we're weak, understanding when we're not understood, patience when we're being challenged and well-being when we're out from our comfort zone. And lastly, we should not stop praying for our husbands to lead us spiritually in accordance to what God has planned them to lead. We need to pray for them because they are only humans that have imperfections and weaknesses. We have to pray for them because they can be at anytime tempted by the devil who happily wants to destroy relationships. Remember, even if it would take a long time for change to transpire in our husbands' mind and heart on how to lead the Godly way, what matters most is that we never gave up on praying for them. By so doing, in the end, we’ll absolutely reap a good harvest. **wink**

It's indeed, a great Sunday! Wasn't it? Goodnight and God bless us...Until then :-)
