Hey girls!
Finally..my thoughts on the Heart chapter...
So, chapter 1 hit hard and made did make me feel a bit guilty. Mary
states " If Christ is at the center-if He is the one who has forever
swept her off her feet-she makes sure that her attitude and speech and
conduct are pleasing to Him...(Ps 25:15). I feel this way about J. I
daily strive to please him, honor him, and make sure he is taken care
of. Light was shed on the fact that I tend to put my husband before
God. J and I had a conversation about this and I said that prior to him
being in my life- my life revolved around God- there was no
competition..but now it's hard to make time for even just J and B, let
alone God. After reading this chapter-J and I discussed how some things
have to change- I need to put God first and then trust that He'll help
me make time for my family and other priorities. Christ is not at the
forefront of my affections-He has not captivated my heart. I've got
quite a ways to go before I get to being a bit wiser, but this book is
definitely shining light on a lot of things. . . And I pray that as we
all continue to work our way through this book- God will bring us closer
to Him.
Lord, grab my heart- take it- and make it Yours. Help me to
desire to put you 1st, and then J and B. Help me to give J up to you-
so that I can focus on serving him through serving You. Thank you for
still loving me in spite of not always putting You first.
