My Walk Down The Aisle

 Have you ever been faced with insecurities that comes from the fact that we are all flawed?  Moses had said "Since I speak with faltering lips, why would Pharaoh listen to me?" Gideon had said "But how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh and I am the least in my family".  As I read through Genesis 3, this question God asked Adam struck me differently. Quick summary is that God had made Adam and blessed him with everything in the Garden of Eden, including a wife called Eve. God gave Adam and Eve access to everything except for the tree of good and evil- they not supposed to touch and eat from that tree. Everything went well until the devil came and tempted Adam and Eve to eat from the tree. They did and realized they were naked, so they sewed fig leaves together for coverings, then they tried hiding from God... When Adam and Eve heard the sound of The Lord God walking in the Garden, they hid and The Lord called out to them, here is the communicatio...

I remember when my marriage was 7 years, i did document  some lessons (please do search for it on the blog, its titled 7 years, 7 lessons). Of course, as the years went by we continue to grow and learn a lot. This time, i wanted my husband to also share some of the lessons learned over the years. We were able to summarize to 10 short lessons shared below:  Fun and true fact- Marriage is the first system God put in place to refine us. Long before salvation came to play. Embrace the process of refinement. It’s a lie from hell, that you are supposed to continue to be who you were before marriage. Never! You are supposed to be better and do better. See that popular triangle description? The one that has God at the top point and both of you at the edges, it works magic. The closer you both draw closer to God, you automatically draw closer to each other. Forgiving each other is very important, it’s true! What is less talked about is forgiving yourself. Learn to forgive each other an...
