QUESTION OF THE DAY!

Hey Covenant Groupies,

Due to the blizzard we had here in NYC yesterday. I spent the day with the wonderful husband just enjoying the day. So, ifyou don't mind, our question of the day will be moved to today.

So, for today, let's discuss Proverbs 27:17, "Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another". The commentary says "We are cautioned to take heed whom we converse with. And directed to have in view, in conversation, to make one another wiser and better".

When you think of your conversations with your spouse, in what ways do you find that you two shapen one another? Do yo set aside specific time to do just this?

Hey Covenant Groupies,

Take a look at what has Kevin and I homebound. To be quite honest, we're not mad.

Two Very Powerful Representations of Marriage

Hey Covenant Groupies,

I found this intereting video the other day. I never knew this was done. This was an amazing thing to do directly after his award for the Nobel Peace Prize. Hollywood's first couple interviews one-half of Washington's first couple.

All I can say is, ENJOY!!!!!!!!

National Marriage Week

Hey Covenant Groupies,

Not sure how many of you knew that National Marriage Week began yesterday. For an entire week couples, churches and families are encouraged to celebrate marriage in a way that fosters sustainability, healthy relationships and community.

We are all being asked to seek out creative ways to exemplify covenant marriages so that others will have an accurate viewpoint and perspective of God's unconditional love.

Will you participate????

Contemplating My Marital Value

Hey Covenant Groupies,

I read a great quote today: "The Effectiveness of a Believer is Directly Proportional to That Believer's Values."

All day, I've been contemplating my effectiveness in my marriage to Kevin and assessing it's value. I wonder how differently or similar they would be if we sat and discussed this. This relationship is so valuable to me and I hope and pray that I have been treating it as such.

I guess he'll tell me.

QUESTION OF THE DAY!

Hey Covenant Groupies,

Today, I heard some married women discussing their "innocent" attraction to select male celebrities. I once heard Rick Warren say, "If you can't, in good conscious, say or do something in your spouses' presence, you shouldn't do it at all."

I agree.

How would you feel if your spouse thought about and then contemplated on some of the same thoughts you did? Would they be pure thoughts? Would you consider changing your thought life? Would you ever confess some of your thoughts to them?

Launch Delayed - Our Plans are Not God's Plans

Hey Covenant Groupies,

As many of you may know, after about 13 months, we were scheduled to launch yesterday, February 1st. However, God had different plans.

My sister-in-law, who's due to give birth March 5th, gave birth yesterday to a beautiful little boy. Wow, to say the least, we weren't expecting him and our days plans; all of them, were altered.

Too often we plan without God in mind and He counters by ALWAYS showing us that He's truly in control. He's not moved or changed by schedules, doctors or what we believe to be best. He's God Almighty!!!!

So, with that said, prayerfully, we'll launch tomorrow. Pictures of my amazing new nephew will quickly follow as well.
