In the words of Effie Trinket, "Welcome, welcome, welcome!" I can't even put into words how happy I am you are here. And I have to say, starting this series on a Sunday makes me smile. It seems appropriate somehow to begin this month of focused prayer for our marriages on the day we gather to worship. ********** And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” — Matthew 4:19 ********** I don't like to lead through a crowd. I much, much, much prefer Scott to be in ... [Read More]
#MarriagePrayers: 31 Verses to Pray for Your Marriage
Links to all the #MarriagePrayers are at the end of this post! ~ TL June 12, 1995. A friend of mine wanted to go hear this group called Eternity. I went with her because what else was I going to do on a Monday night. Little did I know ... That night would change my life forever. As one of singers introduced the members of Eternity (think similar to Truth on a much smaller scale), he mentioned he was from Muscle Shoals, Alabama. I knew someone else from Muscle Shoals so after the concert ... [Read More]
Coming in May — #MarriagePrayers: 31 Verses to Pray for Your Marriage
How much do you pray for your marriage? June 1, 2016 is Scott's and my 20th anniversary. Twenty years, y'all. {Yes, of course, I was a mere child when we married. Obviously!} When I look back over those years I am in awe of all God has done in and through us. Those two 24-year-olds who said, "I do," were clueless about how hard marriage was going to be. But those two were also completely unprepared for how beautiful marriage was going to be as well. When I think about all we've been ... [Read More]

31 Verses to Pray for Your Marriage {Zechariah 4:6}
Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6 Confession: Sometimes I suffer from an affliction called “Just let me do it myself-itis.” I load the dishwasher and do the laundry and make the bed because no one else does it “right.” I agree to lead a committee or take charge of an event so I can make sure everything gets done. I’m not great at delegating and I tend to follow behind people ... [Read More]
31 Verses to Pray for Your Marriage {Haggai 1:7}
Thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. Haggai 1:7 Do you ever stop and think about why you do the things you do? Not just the big things but little ones as well. I don’t know about you, but I have some habits and mannerisms that drive Scott crazy. For example, eye rolling. Apparently I roll my eyes … a lot. And it isn’t his favorite. Time and again he’d mention how much he hated when I did it and often I’d respond that I didn’t even realize I had. Truth, y’all — eye rolling had ... [Read More]
