I am a little late for At the Well. I am usually first one to blog,but I got tied up doing the first priority,taking care of the family and home. I'm just not sitting to blog and do a few pictures,while Daniel is entertaining Aaron. I did my study early this morning though,thankfully! I'm so looking forward to this weeks name and the things God will show me and the rest of you ladies. So don't forget to check out the post by Jenifer @ By His Grace today.
Today’s Discussion Question:
Are there areas in your life right now where you have placed someone else above the Most High God?
Do YOU need to move out of the way so that the Most High God can reign supreme in your life?
I had read the question this morning too and have been trying to ponder on it all day. It was a hard one and for me, took a lot of thought. I had in the past put someone else above God and thought they could meet my needs,but I was wrong. Right now I can say I am not doing that,I just have to watch myself or I may put my husband higher than he should be.
In some areas I definitely need to move out of the way. I am an organizer and planner by trade. It's a part of my make up that can get in the way of God's plan sometimes. I have to remember He is the ultimate planner and He knows best for my life and my families life. That's very hard to do. Another area, is trying to convince my husband or sway him. I'm learning I'm not the Holy Spirit. I can only pray for my husband in things I think needs to be changed or he see them differently. That's very hard,but I know that is best. I am trying to get better at that. I've been asking the Lord to show me other areas where I need to let him reign supremely and for me to be able to let go of them. It works best when He is in total control. Hope you all had a blessed day!!
Hi Heather! I too am on a journey to become a Titus 2 Woman. I came across your blog At The Well bible study. You have a beautiful blog and I hope to come back and visit.

Hey Heather!! Thanks for your honesty!! I've found myself trying to convince my husband to do things that I think need to be done too. It's hard sometimes to take a back sit and be submissive. But, I've learned, the hard way, it's a much better place for me to be. :o)
ReplyDeleteOver the years I've clung to Proverbs 3:5 & 6, because I too, am a planner and like things all laid out, nice and neat, plain as day. But, I've learned, again the hard way, that my plans are not the best for me...God's are. His plans are perfect and have my best interest in mind!!
Hope you are doing well and have had a great week!!
Much love!!
