Praying with my Hubby

Praying with my husband has been the best move I've made in a long time. Brokenness can be mended, hurt can be healed, and trust restored, selfless acts is what marriage and parenting is all about! What a ride it is, a ride with a thousand smiles, screams, ups, downs, fears, joys. Let nothing unbuckle me from the ride of marriage dear Lord. God has intended for Mickey and I to share our lives with each other, until death do us part. "Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."- Mark 10:9

My husband, Mickey, and I have committed to praying (aka spiritual warfare) and doing a marriage devotional every night, despite our attitude, how tired we are, or the distance between us. The power of technology limits our excuses! Mickey has been consistent at pulling me from business, work, and life to hold my hand and pray with me. As we do this, I feel my heart melt, my spirit rejoice and the Holy Spirit pour His blessing upon us. The feeling is so tough to explain, just try it, and peace can be yours. We intentionally apply ourselves to operate out of obedience to the Lord, with a selfless love that honors the Lord. Are we perfect at this, hahaha, HECK NO, but it's a start to something awesome which becomes routine over time."Be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace."- Ephesians 4:2

The benefits of practicing agape love have offered a more gentle communication between us. A few fresh fruits bearing from our prayerful habit include the ability to bring down walls in fear we will find ways to argue, a sense of security is being nurtured as we bless each other with kind words, daily tasks in the home are being shared with a smile and grace (no grouchy pants, meany monster breaking loose). My husband's selfless acts have given me a hope that change is possible, I am trusting his leadership, and falling in love with him all over again. God has been our unbreakable cord of hope with promises that are full of truth. The good times are always preparing for the spiritual attacks that will follow, we are messing up satan's plans so he's sure to throw us fiery darts. We are FAR, FAR from perfect or a dreamy Disney love story, but we are comparing to not a single person other than our former self. It's been such a joy to feel our marriage shifting in such a beautiful direction simply by pray
