We've just moved, and I'm short on 'blog' time, but look forward to getting to know you more... what a beautiful post, what an encouragment to all women, who want to be there for their man. Being the woman God wants us to be, even when we're not on the same 'spiritual page'. Thanks for this post, I'm sure I'll be looking back to it & referring it- be blessed this beautiful June month- see you at A Holy Experience! - Laura Laura at By the Bushelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01756969603697972860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-62448002463161470122010-06-02T21:30:53.522-07:002010-06-02T21:30:53.522-07:00Dear Jackie ~ Thanks for your sweet encouragement!...Dear Jackie ~ Thanks for your sweet encouragement!

Oh I know well that "tune-ups" are required in my heart...how gracious our Loving Heavenly Father is to lead us along in these wonderful truths!<br /><br />Dear Traci ~ We *love* Spurgeon too...I hope you do get that book...it is a gem! :)<br /><br />Dear Heather ~ Oh yes! May the LORD give household Salvation! AND may HE give patience to those who wait. :)<br /><br />Dear J ~ How wonderful that the LORD is teaching you these truths so early on in your married life! I would encourage you to get your hands on Debi Pearl's book...it was such a blessing to my heart. Yes, she and her husband, Michael Pearl, have written many books on discipline, etc. As with anything, I would caution you to use discernment and the Scriptures to weigh whatever information you find in a book written by mere man/woman. I cannot endorse everything they have written without that cautionary statement in place. Having said that, I would definitely order that book...it is a gem and with the LORD's wisdom and HIS Word to guide you I think it will be a blessing. I am thankful for your friendship J...nothing is by "chance"! :)<br /><br />Dear Jenn ~ You encouraged my heart today...thank you! All glory to HIM from Whom all blessings flow! :)<br /><br />Dear Heather ~ OH how TRUE!! We must be unselfish in our marriages...so difficult to do without the help of the LORD, but so rewarding when HE enables us! Let's pray for one another as we seek to honour our Saviour in these very tangible ways! :)<br /><br />Dear Sharon ~ I so appreciate your input here...yes...we ultimately are submitting to the LORD in our marriages! AND to think what HE submitted to in order to save us...while we were YET IN SIN!! Marvelous grace! <br /><br />Dear Stephanie ~ How precious to realise that the LORD is your spouse and will be in eternity...it's wonderful to look to HIM as our all in all!! AND yes, we all have such tendencies to being self-absorbed...may the LORD deal with that in my heart!<br /><br />Blessings to you each!<br />In Him,<br />CamilleCamillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838089502798643241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-28367761847808366522010-06-02T15:49:26.787-07:002010-06-02T15:49:26.787-07:00Obedience is key for every aspect of our lives of ...Obedience is key for every aspect of our lives of faith in Christ as we learn to walk that out. <br /><br />I have been reading a calendar devotional that I have on my kitchen sink by Elizabeth George and for more than a month now she has been talking about a wife's role in marriage - as under the headship of Christ. It has been good to continually prepare my heart - even though right now - being a widow - Jesus Himself is my husband. I loved your post on prayer in marriage already.That is MY #1 characteristic of a good marriage - one where they pray together!<br /><br />Thanks for continuing to share on this important issue - especially in light of our society these days that is so self-absorbed - even in marriage. <br /><br />blessings, StephanieTRUTH SHARERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17069583768409534620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-13281232818431945172010-06-02T12:26:10.678-07:002010-06-02T12:26:10.678-07:00Camille,

He knows what is best for each and every one of us and will never leae nor forsake us. Sometimes it can be difficult to submit but ultimately we are submitting to the Lord. <br /><br />Christ sets such a wonderful example in obedience in Philippians 2:8 "Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." Wow, how awesome is that? <br /><br />I am so very thankful for His word in my life and His unconditional love for me. Thank you Camille for this admonishment :)<br /><br />Have a blessed day in Him!<br />SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737384601584423130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-79000259938263444262010-06-02T11:27:27.348-07:002010-06-02T11:27:27.348-07:00Camille, this is a very thoughtful and profound po...Camille, this is a very thoughtful and profound post. I too, have read that book by Debi Pearl along with a bunch of my girlfriends. We affectionately refer to it as "The Scary Wife Book"! We love it but laugh together at how difficult it seems to follow some of the ideas... which are scriptural. All this submission stuff would be so much easier if we removed selfishness from the equation. I often think, if I just put my husband's needs before mine, how much better our marriage would be! Of course, those women who are already doing this and still have poor response from their husbands, have experienced the power of God being their husband and the Holy Spirit being their guide. May the Lord guide and bless us all as we endeavour to take up this challenge.<br />Thanks for sharing your honest reflections.<br /><br />love, HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10437691485323819455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-60945840931668311022010-06-02T10:29:58.622-07:002010-06-02T10:29:58.622-07:00Beautifully written and great ways to bring our he...Beautifully written and great ways to bring our hearts in line with the Lords.

It is God's work in his heart that will draw him closer to his heavenly Father, not my nagging. Thank you for your boldness and for point me to the cross.<br /><br />Has Debi Pearl also written some homeschooling books? Or discipline related books? I think I've heard of her before. I think I'll order a copy of that book.<br /><br />Thanks, Camille. I love you sweet friend! Who ever thought God would determine that our paths would cross...I'd never have guessed! And yet here we are and I am so thankful for a sister pointing me to Christ.Wanting What I Havehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711989381690050970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-12416172261515069572010-06-02T06:20:05.760-07:002010-06-02T06:20:05.760-07:00Preach It Sister!

An it's those prayers of promise that radically change the course they are sometimes on. <br /><br />I reflect on Rahab and the scarlet cord. How much more under this new covenant do we have?! That cord was her guarantee. Jesus is ours! An through His blood our entire families can have salvation. We just need to pray for their responses to this act of love He's completed. May it be "YES!" one thousand times over "YES!"Heather of Swallowing A Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440035339540605695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-18850922425121952232010-06-02T05:29:56.912-07:002010-06-02T05:29:56.912-07:00I love Spurgeon!
