Oh how i love and respect and appreciate my husband!


So for anyone who knows me, you must know that i am a little crazy.  I am full of crazy (yet amazingly fun ideas).  Now my husband knew this before marrying me, but he has lived with me in such an understanding way.  He is not weak, i do not control him, or manipulate him, he is the leader of our family and i trust his decisions and i don't MAKE him do any of my crazy ideas and he DOES put his foot down on occasion (he won't let me have a bee farm in the backyard for example).  So all that to say he is amazing.  But recently i have noticed some other ways he loves on me.  First, was the feast of Purim party.  He knew that was special to me and meant alot to me, so he not only allowed me to do the party, he participated and even went over the top!  He dressed up and he helped me get things ready and read the story of esther to the children!!  Now let me tell you that this was not his idea, he was really not that interested in doing it at all, but he did not even think twice...he did it bc he loved me and knew it was important to me....he made it soo much more fun for the kids!  In the end he had a blast i must say.
Another one of my recent ideas was to plant a good sized veggie garden.  i thought i could do most of the work, but kevin knew better.  He knew that he would have to do most of the tilling and put a fence up and do pretty much all of the work since the tiller is old an heavy and since the babies are well...babies.  He has not complained one bit, even though i know it is not his most favorite thing to do on his day off.   I know kevin does so much for me, but these are two big ways i have seen him sacrifice for me lately!!  I really wanted to remember this, bc i know this would be something i would take for granted or forget about later!  Thank you Lord for this incredible man!

Spiritual leader

My husband never ceases to amaze me by his leadership in our home.  I have really stepped up my relationship with God and i am seeing amazing changes in my life and attitude toward all that is around me.  So i feel like i am growing and learning.  So Kevin too is doing the same.  I have started to pray over him at night (since he is always asleep before me), and i am amazed at what God is showing me about this man i am deeply in love with.  Last night for example, Elijah got up once again and wanted me to lay in his bed.  Well, i felt like it was time to put a stop to this habit and said no.  That i loved him, but i was going to sleep in my bed and he was going to sleep in his.  i got frustrated with him, and he knew it.  I lacked compassion and kindness.  I was selfish in that all i wanted was sleep!!  I did not consider what might have been going on in his spirit.  But kevin recognized another opportunity of God, to go and lay with him and comfort him and pray over him and for others as he lay there with him.  Kevin was awake most of the night and was patient and prayerful.  He took the situation i was frustrated with and made it in to a God moment!
