Letter's To My Bride | Unbreakable...

One of my brides "favorite" movies was Unbreakable.  She "enjoyed" this movie so much that we have had many discussions around the merit of this film.  With a little creative license I am borrowing the title of, what she feels is a "quality" film.  In the book of Matthew chapter 19 versus 4 through 6 we see

“Haven't you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?

So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
You and I, darling, were created by God for each other and no man or woman should ever come between.  God also gave a great illustration of how our marriage, when it is united with Him is truly unbreakable.

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:

If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep arm alone?

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. - Ecc 4:9-12

No man can separate what God has bound together.  Let's continue to seek God and meet each others needs.

 

God Loves You and So Do I,

Letters To My Bride | Longing...

My Dearest Bride,

 

I was sitting here at my desk and I was longing for you.  My day drags on in the morning after we separate for work.  My focus gets broken frequently by this Longing.  It causes me to thin about you.  It captures me and slowly lets me go.  This longing makes my heart race and my breath quicken.  I go from moment to moment trying to get to the afternoon.  At that point the days begins to speed up.  I am excited because my longing will be satisfied soon. I can't wait.  Nothing will stop me from seeing you now.  The Longing is so strong that it allows no other things to cross my mind.  Can it truly be?  Is it that time already.  Yes!  Time to go satisfy my longing.

May your fountain be blessed, 
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. 

A loving doe, a graceful deer— 
may her breasts satisfy you always, 
may you ever be captivated by her love Proverbs 5:18-19

See You Soon

Letters To My Bride | Overcoming Exhaustion...

I love this photo by Dalla over at Flikr.  It had me thinking about my last letter What to do when you are exhausted.  Here is some more thoughts from God's Word.

When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me.

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.  - Psalm 138:3, 7-8

When you begin to feel exhausted, overwhelmed, put upon remember to call on the Lord.  Reach out for help.  He will protect you.  Know that God loves you and So do I.

Letter To My Bride | What To Do When You Are Exhausted...

What To Do When You Feel Exhausted - Day 1

Dearest Wife,

I have noticed over some time that you have been dealing with being/feeling exhausted.  As I prayed for you this is was given to share with you.  This is taken From Psalm 37:34-40.

34 Wait for the Lord and keep his way.
He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing like a green tree in its native soil,

36 but he soon passed away and was no more;
though I looked for him, he could not be found.

I know that things are very hectic for you right now.  I am sure between me, the kids, church, and work you are being pulled in so many different directions.  I hope that I have been able to help you by taking some of the tasks that had fallen on your shoulders.  Outside of that I hope that you will take the beginning of this passage to heart.  When you begin to feel exhausted look to God to help you prioritize.  When you do that you will be surprised how he is there to handle the rest.  Don't let the "greener" grass pull you down.  You are doing an amazing job as a wife, mother and leader.  Don't let the expectations that others want to project on you add extra weight.

37 Consider the blameless, observe the upright;
there is a future for the man of peace.

38 But all sinners will be destroyed;
the future of the wicked will be cut off.

39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.

40 The Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.

Reach out to your mentors and those who love you (Me).  Where it is safe; share.  Where you cannot than take it to God.  He will order your steps and provide you the strength and if necessary the rest to make it through.  I am so glad that we are walking together.

Love,

Your Husband...
