Awaken the Dawn

Yeah, I'm a big Getty fan. When my friend blogged the Psalm, "My heart is steadfast..." I could hear this song. YouTube was given permission to post this as a preview for the Getty's album. I bought it and it comes with this extra DVD of this interview. Enjoy!

What a wife!

It's not me, really. But it's what I aspire to.

So what was my inspiration to write? A couple of things. First off, Dennis always kisses me goodbye in the morning when he leaves for work. Sweet. This morning I thought how blessed I am to have husband who, after 30 years, STILL loves me. I am so amazed! Knowing me.


The second inspiration was a quote I saw on FB this week. It was just something silly, but is still an underlying belief among some people. (I was going to say non-Christians, but I think some Christians believe this.) that "Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams---If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore."


I thought about that. Careers can be pretty insidious. They demand everything, and what does one get in return?
I went to Proverbs 31. That woman isn't the 50's woman who was bored playing cards, sitting around and home watching soaps and ONLY cleaning house and making meals and taking care of children. This woman is a business woman! And she's not lazy. Nor does she misuse her time. She's dealing with men in the marketplace, buying, selling. She's looking for deals. I don't think our girls need to think the Christan wife cannot be a business woman, but I think that she can be an "excellent wife" by following her husband's godly lead.


I love these verses: "An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life."


I've got a ways to go. But I pray that always I will do him good all my days.

No Title

I think half my problem about blogging is trying to come up with a title. And a picture. Just words on the page are not very interesting. My life is full of titles and pictures, but just the one I want or need is hard!
I have to say, every time I come to my blog page I sigh. I just LOVE this photo! This is a marvelous place!
Maybe I'll think of a title and write something today....
