Marriage Ain't Easy Monday

~Marriage Ain’t Easy Monday~

Hey everyone! Happy Monday to you!

We had our first annual ladies renewal retreat this wknd and Jessie one of our speakers spoke to us about the lies the devil tells us and how we let those lies creep into our lives and hearts and we start believing them. The same thing applies to our marriages. The devil hates marriage and families. He wants nothing more than to destroy them all! I am going to be real open with you for just a few minutes. 

The devil wears me out with lies! I’m putting this out here because I know he is doing it to y’all too. The devil is a lie and anything he tells you is going to be harsh and hurtful and anything God tells you is going to be soft and loving. The devil tells me that my husband is cheating on me just like my last husband did. The devil tells me that our marriage will never last, that there’s no way your husband loves you, there’s no way he thinks your still pretty, and the list goes on and on!

 Ladies and Gents, the devil is a liar and a really good one, he walks around like a lion seeking whom he can devour. He even tries to lie to himself and say that he is a lion when we know the real lion is Jesus! Jesus says we are chosen and we are His children! Stop listening to the lies of Satan! Your spouse loves you, they still think your the best thing since slice bread, and that you are gorgeous or handsome!

1 John 4:4 says greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. The next time the devil starts in with those lies tell him to hit the road or as Ms. Judy said this wknd the next time satan comes a knocking send Jesus to get the door! Go love on your spouse! Don’t forget Friday is Valentine’s Day...wouldn’t it be awesome if we made ever day Valentines Day. You don’t have to spend a bunch of money on them to show them you love them! Little acts of genuine love mean more than the others I promise! ❤️

Follower of Christ Friday  November 11, 2020 Ever been looking for a specific themed video on YouTube, instead find something totally unrelated but something you still needed to see? That was me a few years ago when I stumbled upon Author and Speaker, Christine Caine telling some of her testimony.  (warning this may be a lot of parphrase)  She was talking about when she was in seminary how one of her preaching professors pretty much told her that she did terrible, and that she should never teach / preach to an audience again!!  I expected to next hear how it made her mad, and how she vowed to him that she would "show him."   I mean she is Christine Caine, this great motivating woman who currently speaks internationally to thousands of people.  She overcame it somehow.  However, what I wasn't expecting was to to hear what really happened.  She said it absolutely DEFEATED her.  She felt shame!  She questioned her worth! She didn't want to and in fact didn't speak fo

Carrie's Story

Hello! My name is Carrie Hunt! I am 26 years old and live in New Albany where I was born and raised. I’m an assistant teacher at West Union Attendance Center and I’m currently pursuing my bachelors degree to become a certified teacher at Blue Mountain College. It’s true when God gives you a calling, you have to follow it! I really don’t discuss personal things on social media. If you ask me a question in person though, I’m very open and honest. In February this year, I was diagnosed with PCOS(Poly cystic ovarian syndrome). PCOS causes many issues for women, reproductive problems, endocrine problems, anxiety and depression.  I don’t let it define me, even on the days where I wish I didn’t have it and just want it gone. Although there is no cure, I choose to fight it, not let it fight me. One in ten million women in the U.S. have it! We are all fighters. I guess I feel the need to discuss it now because I understand it and what it entails. Like I said, I’m an open book. I’m open to discu

Totally in Tuesdays

The Fruitful Woman Happy Tuesday and welcome to another look at The Fruitful Woman. This week will finish out the series. I have enjoyed looking at the Fruit of the Spirit from  Galatians  5 and I pray you have to.  Today brings in our last fruit. The last piece of the puzzle. The last quality of a woman who is in living in a love relationship with God. The final reward. Temperance. Temperance- moderation in action, thought, or feeling: restraint, self-control Self-control - the ability to control oneself, in particular one’s emotions and desires or the expression of them in one’s behavior, especially in difficult situations. It’s no accident that Paul listed temperance as the very last Fruit of the Spirit. God led Him to place this challenging character trait at the very end. My guess; is because self-control is impossible without all the other qualities being instilled first. Without my daily walk with God, without my quiet time with Him, without by obedience t
