In looking over your posts, I think you might enjoy a brand new book I just finished reading called "The Wholehearted Wife: 10 Keys to a More Loving Relationship," by Erin, Greg and Gary Smalley. It is centered on changing ME and aligning myself with God and what he wants from me as a wife. Biblical, inspirational, affirming. One of my favorite quotes is, ""If you want to have a more loving relationship with your husband, remember that he's a gift from God, a treasured possession - just as you are. As a Wholehearted wife, seek to honor him each day by cherishing him and affirming his value. Treat him like a Stradivarius!" I highly recommend it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837115727187800498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395574283690825280.post-45653290400177148122012-11-12T08:17:58.732-08:002012-11-12T08:17:58.732-08:00I love that your doing this all second hand and in...I love that your doing this all second hand and incredibly cheap, and sharing with us!

Congratulations on the weight ...Yay! :) Great post! Congratulations on the weight loss! I can't help but think about physical fitness right now because I want to get in shape so that I can healthily have another baby soon. I need to pump myself back up from the sleep deprivation and poor nutrition I have gone through in 2011. I think that will be my goal for 2012. I want to bring glory to God through that as well as having another baby. I do find it amazing as a new mom that there is this amount of energy and fortitude that comes out when dealing with child-rearing tasks and those of the homemaker. I never had this before I was a mom/homemaker. It was easy to be lazy before. But now, even when running on 2 hours of sleep, I can find it in myself to tend to my family when they need me, and I can't believe I can get things done! <br /><br />There is a book I am reading right now that is amazing called "Health for Godly Generations" and it is all about eating and health from a Christian perspective. You may enjoy it, too.<br /><br />God bless!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484042274698832817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395574283690825280.post-66874589988704975092011-12-01T13:28:22.911-08:002011-12-01T13:28:22.911-08:00I definitely will let you know, that would be grea...I definitely will let you know, that would be great!

But it makes me want to be like her and like you as you write about how much you are putting into your family. I am so glad you and your husband are hitting the right note with the finances! Great! I need to be more forthcoming about what I buy and also ask my hubby what he thinks about the idea of a purchase before I go and buy it. I think many of us women need accountability to keep the family from going into major shopping debt!<br /><br />You are helping me to think biblically about whether or not I want to start sewing for money again and how I would use the money I make.

I always appreciate your comments and t...Hi Mrs Q,<br /><br />I always appreciate your comments and thoughts on scripture. You are so right that it is the man's worry...and part of what takes femininity away from women is the worry over providing according to Helen Adeline of FW. I guess my take away from the proberbs 31 woman is her ability to do whatever she could to help her husband and to keep the home within his budget and in good order, she worked hard and was so resourceful. She is a model but she is not a "real" person...just a guide. From what I have studied anyway. <br /><br />So about Fascinating Womanhood. Click on the book icon on the upper right side of my site to go to her site and register for the online class which starts in January. I actually am going to take it again in January and then become a certified teacher. I really want to know these principles inside and out because there is so much proof that it cultivates happy marriages all over the world. <br /><br />It is sooooo good. Love this book, and it totally help me change my marriage. In fact, because of the changes he saw in me he became a baptized christian himself. That was 2 years ago. <br /><br />I hope you ALL take this class, it would be fun if we could all do it together!!<br /><br />Kisses and Hugs, <br />JennyJenny Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922880085151086914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395574283690825280.post-50473152780123605292011-11-19T14:12:36.084-08:002011-11-19T14:12:36.084-08:00That is an interesting interpretation.

This would imply that a woman MUST bring in an income, when it is the husband who is directed in the Scriptures to provide for his own, while the wife is to be a keeper at home...<br /><br />I think that is neat that your husband wants to do the finances. What a stress-reliever! Isn't that what Fascinating Womanhood teaches? I am reading that book right now and loving it! I see that you took a class. May I ask if it was online and where you took it? I have seen there are a few different places to take a class and am wondering if it is worth it besides reading the book.<br /><br />Thank you!<br />Mrs. QBlessed Homemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900030206325400486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7395574283690825280.post-91244720037116667432011-11-19T10:21:14.713-08:002011-11-19T10:21:14.713-08:00I am so glad to see you are getting something out ...I am so glad to see you are getting something out of this study.

That is so cool that you made your own money to add to the household income. And it is a blessing that your husband actually WANTS to do the finances, because most men don't care or don't want to deal with it, so maybe if you look at it from that perspective, it would help releasing it to him? I would understand where you are coming from, though, because I do the finances and if my hubby wanted to do them I would feel like he didn't know how or would mess it up and it would give me an anxiety attack. I guess it is about having faith in him. <br /><br />You make me rethink about my crafting and where money goes when I do make it.
