The Husband A Woman Needs

by Kim on March 26, 2011

Have you ever said to your wife, “I will never be the man you need”?  Maybe you haven’t said those words outloud but you thought them.

Some of you reading this right now may have left your wife thinking you would never be the man she needed. Or be able to live up to her expectations.

When it comes to this earth you are correct.  No one is perfect and there is no way any one can meet all the needs of another individual.

What a woman needs is a man who loves Jesus Christ first.  Follows Jesus Christ and His commandments and is true to HIM in his heart.  After that a woman wants to know that her husband loves her.  That he is honest and transparent with her and is faithful.

The only way a man can do this is through Jesus Christ.  No man can do it alone.  At the same token, no woman can be the wife a man needs without that same foundation in Christ.

Take a look at yourself, the relationship you have with your wife, children, friends.  Take a look at yourself.  If you find that your relationships seem to be lacking, or are in conflict, instead of trying to make the other person change, ask Christ to make a change in you first.  Take one of the biggest risks of your life and be honest with yourself.  Look inside instead and get to know yourself before you put the finger at others.

Once you see yourself through the eyes of Christ and accept Him in your life you will be able to ask HIM for help with your earthly relationships and become the man and husband that your wife needs.

Until you become the right man in Christ you will never find the perfect woman you are looking for.

Are  you striving to become the husband your wife needs?

Derailed But Not Wrecked

by Kim on November 13, 2010

Life is unpredictable.  You think you have things planned out and next thing you know you are blind sided with something that totally derails all the plans you had made.  Being derailed for a season doesn’t mean you are wrecked for life.

Regardless of what derails your plans, whether it be divorce, job loss, or a death in the family, you can continue on with your life.  You may have different plans, you may be going down a totally different path but you can continue. Yes, for a season you will be off track, at a loss but I can assure you once that seas0n passes a new season is ready to bloom.

This does not mean that life will go on as it did before, it won’t.  It doesn’t mean that you won’t miss the life you had before, you will, however you must go on.  Remember, you were just derailed not totally wrecked.

So once the clouds of your dark season clear, and a new season begins to bloom, take a look at your old plans.  Dust them off and make a new path toward your future.   It could be as you have grown through your dark season you realize you no longer have the desire to pursue your old plans but you have new plans, new goals.  That is great, healthy and normal.

Whatever the case may be, whether it is focusing on your old plans or make new ones…move forward.   Through my own life changing event, I do still pray that things will resolve and reconcile, that does not mean I am sitting stagnant, that would not be healthy.

I encourage you to pick yourself up once you see the clouds beginning to clear, pray to God for guidance and begin to move forward.  This doesn’t mean you forget your past, it just means you build your future from the lessons of your past.

Let God be your guide, your companion and your friend through it all.
