Stacy!
Thank you for hitting home! It’s so humbling to reveal our struggles, but Satan doesn’t want anyone to realize that through it we overcome! So powerful! Just as we set up our husbands to be perfect charming, we set ourselves up to be perfectella and turn into wifezilla in the process! He is whispering such a refreshing anointing to our generation thought as we expose these struggles, He covers them and fills our gaps!I remember when I was trained by example to wear the perfect mask and it just left me hopeless, so I threw it away! Then, I realized everyone else was begging to throw theirs away too!!
I totally unknowingly set my husband a pedestal doomed to failure! He was such a prince and my former life of abuse only made me adore him more, but the weight of perfection is heavy! It was hard to focus on God first when prince worship was right before me! I didn’t follow as hard after my first love and accepted that I was no longer worthy to walk with the King as closely anyways! There came a day when my world crashed into a million pieces and when I returned to my first love, He gave me back a real flesh and blood soulmate and best friend!! I love Him dearly, yet his faults aren’t mine to be shaken by!! Your words touched my heart!

Stacy,

I loved THIS! Actually I LOVE all Stacy stories. Can’t wait for “MY sequin wedding in Vegas” You are an amazing daughter of the King with a powerful testimony … what a great weapon for God those testimonies are. Keep sharing His stories in your life. You are an inspiration to many! Thanks for writing for our DIB readers! And keep writing!

Great LOVE!

Hilarious and so true! Loved this entry so much. I wrote a similar one on my blog. Seems like this is the week to be reminded to get our needs from God and not man. So good!

I think you’ve read the mail of many a wife. If one hasn’t traveled down this a couple hundred times or two, they might be telling a little, white lie.

God is so good at using His sons and daughters to remind us of who we are in Him and our role as His son or daughter.

You’ve been that person today. Reminding us of this important truth: Keep our eyes on HIM, not on him.

Thank you for sharing, Stacy. I think most of us go through this at some point. :0) Isn’t it funny that we try to play Holy Spirit Jr.? As if WE really know what needs to change in the other person? Funny how we want grace and encouragement but sometimes are so reluctant to give the same away. I’ve found this to be true not only in my marriage, but with my children as well. Thank you for speaking TRUTH, Stacy. You are so precious!!!

Timely reminder. I found myself in a comparison this morning. Knew I needed to get out of it. And used your words as a stepping stool to climb out of the hole quickly.

Now I’m on the Rock. Standing on His truth. Knowing that I only know what He has for *me* today. Knowing that what He says is all that matters.
