About Me

Hi my name is Lori, this is my blog. I do have another blog on here but however I am working through this book called The Power of a Praying Wife so I figured I might share my journey through this book in hopes to get some feed back from other wives, other Christians, or just share and to help others who are going through this book. Anyways some background information on me, I am 37 years old and I am on my second marriage. I have five beautiful children that I love dearly and they all live with me three are from my first marriage and two are from my current marriage. While looking back on the failure of my first marriage I see there were many issues some were mine some were his. I own my mistakes and I forgive him for his. I think it would have went differently if we both were Christians. My current marriage would have been different as well. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 Paul says this, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? Now this may not strictly pertain to marriage cause Paul was speaking to the church this however gives you something to think about when it comes to marriage and relationships. If we are married to believers true believer's in Christ things still will be rough from time to time but the mutual faith can help you overcome anything at least that's how I feel. Being in a marriage and having been in a marriage where we were and are unevenly yoked well it's hard at times very hard. You struggle, you argue you fuss you fight and there is no common ground you search for it but you can't find it. It tests your faith especially when you aren't that strong cause it gets so lonely. You want your spouse to believe the way you do you want him to help you raise your children and train them up to be Godly women and men...yet you can't get him to be the Godly man you want him to be. Then what? What do you do?? I'm at that point in my life with my husband. I want him to be a Godly man, I want him to be an example to our children I want to lead a good life and be an example to my children but it's hard when you have a husband that doesn't believe the same as you or does but doesn't lead by a good example. My friend recently suggested a book to me The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian and I'm working on reading it and using the study guide and I'm going to work some of it out here on this blog. If you want to join along feel free to. This book is pretty good I think so far, no it is NOT a how to guide on how to fix your spouse oh contrary you will see that there are many things about yourself that you thought was perfect but isn't. This is going to be interesting,eye opening and hopefully marriage saving/fixing.
