Comments on: The Power of a Praying Wife: Week 1 Check-in http://simplyhis.org/2010/02/26/ppw-week-1-check-in/ Being a light to those God places on my path Wed, 09 May 2012 16:51:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Heather @ Not a DIY Life http://simplyhis.org/2010/02/26/ppw-week-1-check-in/comment-page-1/#comment-13046 Heather @ Not a DIY Life Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:20:13 +0000 http://simplyhis.org/?p=983#comment-13046 I remember this being a hard chapter the first time through the book as well. Not as much this time, but it still points out my flaws. That I expect too much of my husband, I expect him to be too many things for me. We have a great relationship but as a SAHM, I forget how hard it can be to be out in the world. Yes, dealing with a cranky, independent toddler is difficult too. But I love what Stormie said about making the home a haven. It definitely needs to be a haven for all of us, and I want to take that part of my "job" seriously.

Are there things my hubbie does that I want to be different? Sure... but if change him what would be left of us but me? No... he needs to be him and I need to be me to carry on a partnership. More than ever and every time I pick up this book@ I am drawn to change and I have learned to accept it faster. Thank you God for working in me to get over myself. :) I am ready for change.

I finally told my husband yesterday that I was reading this book and he thought the title was, "PrEying wife" which really excited him. I told him to calm down and told him it was 'pray' with an 'a'. He was ok with it but really preferred if I "preyed" him...*he's a smart-alec like that* 2. The part that resonated with me was her conversation with God...the back and forth thing. I totally get that. I have to admit that it's hard for me to want to change myself. I quickly become selfish and say, "Why do I always have to start the change?!" But then again that question alone tells me I've got some soul work that needs to be taken care of. Period. Acting like a 2yo is so pretty isn't it? 1.
