About Me
- Linda Faith
- I am a proud Air Force wife with an amazing supportive husband, Jarod. I am a stay at home mom of 3 wonderful boys. (Aiden 10, Micah 5 1/2, Jordan 1) I am currently pregnant with our 4th (and final...NO REALLY!) baby. I hope this blog helps family and friends follow our journey through the ups and downs of pregnancy especially since we live far away from all of them.

Okay, I am going to go out on a limb here the part that really caught my attention was on pg. 43 submitting to my husband,on page 44 when Esther stated, " I tried so hard to submit and not fight him," and Matthew 5:32 in regards to divorce. Now I am going to go out on a limb but I am speaking from personal experience. I do believe strongly that there are times when two people simply can't be together. I was married for 13 years in my first marriage, and I can tell you that I am thankful that I made the decision to end my first marriage. I will also tell you that if I didn't have the courage or strength to end the first one I would never have met my husband now who is a wonderful, God fearing, God loving man. I know what the Bible says about divorce but in my heart I truly believe especially in Esther's case if her first husband had not passed away is she to stay in a marriage where she was being mentally and physically abused? I say no. From where I am sitting I would not believe that our God would want that for her. I loved this section because over the years I have met so many spouses that were miserable for various reasons, some justified and some not. I met one husband who's wife abused him mentally and physically and it destroyed his marriage and the kids were damaged from all the abuse. However no matter how you view it abuse is abuse and I know for me if it were my sister, mother, or daughter I would not want that for them and I believe for these reasos divorce is inevitable. The sins of the world are of man and not of God so that is my opinion. I also enjoyed this section because there is nothing like the strength of a woman and no man can take that away from us. As mentioned in the book women, are the peacekeepers, we are courageous, strong, patient, loving, nurturing hard working, quick to do what's right, gracious, and forgiving and with that said "women are the most powerful tool on this earth today."
I completely agree Karen! I was in a bad marriage for 3 years and decided to leave for me and my son's well being. (emotional and physical) I can really relate to this chapter. I praise God often for second chances and for the wonderful life I have now.
Second Chance!!! Do I deserve second chance? Thats came out in my mind, while reading chapter 4. In my opinion, we all dserve a second chance doesn't mean sometime that you need to end the relation. For me as a husband and wife we will fai everyday if we don't pray for our partner everyday. I know it is kinda sily but I always pray for my husband everyday and including my kids when they go to school. I pray God for myself to give me wisdom and and love everyday. A second chance for me is to talk to your partner about every situation, if you are hurt or if I hurt him. We need to make sure that when we go to bed at night that we settled things. Communication is a one of th key to have a good reationship. Talk about it and if things seems not to be working pray and allow God to be in control. Let him do his will not your will. Proverbs 3:5 and 6.
