Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.--Proverbs 29:18
2013 was the year of Awakening. I must say I was surprised to what I was awakened to. I enjoyed being awakened to all the good stuff: Jesus' presence, His teachings, His ways, His gifts to me and enjoying the moments more - being more awake in the moment. But I was also awakened to some sin in my life that had really been stopping me from growing closer to God, hindering my marriage and leading me down a slippery slope.
I've always been a strong-willed woman, but I had no idea what that was really doing to my marriage until I heard a Focus on the Family broadcast of the author of "The Strong-Willed Wife". Listening to her, scared me and humbled me. She spoke as if she had been living my life. Her statements were my thoughts too. Needless to say, God is working on me. What this revealed to me is that I really have a submission problem. Truthfully, if you have a submission problem, you also have an obedience problem. Therefore, 2014 is the year of SO (Submission and Obedience).
I've made some unwise decisions this past year and am paying the consequences. I also know that God's love never fails, He is making me new and He is SOvereign.
SO, in 2014 I look forward to the new wife that my husband will have (yes, it's still me!:), the new mom for my boys and the new daughter to the King of Kings.
Love & Prayers,
Kim
