A Wife After God's Own Heart

I was drawn to this book after reading Blessings by Blog book review on this book.  Thanks Ashley! I loved it!  I definatly feel this is a must read book for all women who are wanting to be God's woman and wife of excellence and will make you look at your marriage differently (in a better way) after reading this book.  It was a life changing book for me.  I was lost in the Christian world but after reading this, everything seemed to click and fall into place and I feel it has made me a better wife and mother.  This is such an amazing book and great read! 

Elizabeth George covers the 12 key areas of your marriage that include:

1. Growing in the Lord.

2.  Working as a team

3.  Learning to communicate

4.  Enjoying intamacy

5.  Managing your money

6.  Keeping up the home

7.  Raising your children

8.  Extending love to the family

9. Tending your career

10.  Making time for fun

11.  Serving the Lord

12.  Reaching out to others.

My next book to read will be this one!  I didn't even know she had a mom book :)  EEEK!! Can you tell I'm excited!

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. ...         Proverbs 31: 10-31

I love you because.....

I am doing a Bible Study this summer called The Proverbs 31 Woman: One Virtue at a Time and I absolutely can not wait to start it! 

Proverbs 31 is about a woman who loves God so much that every area of her life radiates love, purpose, excellence, and diligent care for her husband and children.

A Virtuous Woman respects her husband. She does him good all the days of her life. She is trustworthy and a helpmeet. (Proverbs 31: 11- 12, Proverbs 31: 23, Proverbs 31: 28, 1 Peter 3, Ephesians 5, Genesis2: 18)

I decided to make this cute little I love you because.....picture frame that you all have seen on Pinterest. 

I used a cheap frame from Walmart.  2 pieces of scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby and black felt.

I placed the scrapbook paper on the inside of the picture frame and I wrote the I love you because with a Vis-A-Vis marker that they use on overhead projectors in schools.  I thought it looked kind of plain so I added the felt flowers, and papers flowers as well as making a paper/felt flower rolled up together.  I then hot glued the flowers on.  I think I will add a rhinestone or 2 to the middle of the flowers to add a little more pizazz to it!
