For I am fearfully and wonderfully made....

Before we start get your Mirror and Bible and get ready for another lesson on how YOU are Somebody!!
As we go into this decide now that you will read it with an open mind especially wives! If you are engaged and reading this, you too need to read it with an open mind.

I love the wedding vows and I love what they mean. When you, lady, said to cherish, honor and obey till death do us part. Did you mean it? Or was it just a bunch of words? I've watched TV shows and even heard people say I will NOT say Obey, or till death do us part. Why bother getting married if you aren't going to keep the Wedding vows? Marriage is a blessed thing and part of that is be submissive as a wife to your husband. I understand that if for some reason divorce comes into the picture, you may not have any say over it. Lady, please make sure that you have done your part that you did your best to honor, obey, love, submit to your husband. Let's make the stats of divorce lower and Men and Women who stayed married high!

Submission isn't always easy to do, but since we're told to as wives, we have to Obey the Bible. In today's world the woman who submits to her husband is looked at as a crazy person. However you and your husband are fearfully and wonderfully made, marriage is/was made in heaven, and God wants us to honor and obey his word!

So now Read Psalms 139, and look in the mirror for 15 seconds and ask yourself how God and your husband see you as a Special Lady. Today lets write down the positive things and make sure to keep the paper close by, you'll need it again.

Seek to Please

As I have said earlier women have a more difficult time with self-esteem for the simple reason we are to be submissive. Did you know submission is role that God designed? Submission simply means Seek to Please.

Because so many women have a lack of self-esteem, it causes many problems in our lives. Look at your marriage, has your lack of self-esteem hurt the marriage. Do you think this about yourself?
~ I can't do such and such, like she does.
~ I wasn't born with such and such talent like that person.
~ I don't have any character. (THAT can be changed if you only try)
~ I'm not the prettiest person in the world. (Guess what you don't have to be the prettiest person in order to have self-esteem) Why? God See's us all as beautiful and "....for I (you) am fearfully and wonderfully made....'

Change comes when you decide you can and will change. For instance, if you're overweight, work on that area. Suppose you don't have the character to be on time. Begin to work on arriving early; that character flaw can be changed. Maybe you don't keep a clean house, start today in one room and decide that you ARE going to be a good house wife.

Before closing out today, Please take your mirror look in it and say, "God made me!" "I'm a beautiful person" and "I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Now go have a great day and enjoy who you are!
