SEX SEX SEX

SEX, SEX, SEX What is it about Sex? Am I the only one that is completely bewildered about the subject?  Sex is this beautiful, exhilarating, experience with limitless opportunities.....outside of marriage. After marriage it morphs into the insurmountable object wedged between a man and his wife..... How could this be?  Didn’t God make Sex specifically for marriage? Didn’t he create a way that a man and wife can spiritually, emotionally, and physically become one? So why is Sex the second most destructive force in marriage, second only to financial problems? We can create medicine for different types of Cancer, we fly to the moon, we can even teach an Ape to walk like a man, and speak.... (Just saw Planet of the Apes, Two Thumbs UP BTW) But the subject of Sex still eludes us all....... Let Mr. Serve-Her, hear your thoughts........

Don't Forget To Remember

A friend sent this to me I thought it would be something good to pass along to the married couples.  We sometimes forget these things and need to be reminded.

To keep your marriage strong, certain aspects have to be protected.  Protect your time.  Make sure you carve out time for just you and your spouse.  Hire a babysitter or trade babysitting time with another family so you can get out.  Protect your heart.  Keep your romantic thoughts focused on your mate.  Avoid situations and people that might tempt you.  Finally, protect your marriage with words.  Kind words can make your marriage stronger, but harsh words can make it vulnerable to attack.  Protect your marriage and Remember, your family first. 

Have Need of Patience

Hebrews 10:32 -36

32Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ.j Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering.33Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. 34You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.

35So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! 36Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

About a week ago a minister in our church, Elisha Cole,  gave these scriptures at one of the alter calls and specifically pointed out that we have need of patience...(smh...because I knew immediately I was a culprit as well...yes me...);-)

Ahhhh alas, I finally set down to glean and read them and ask God to help me with patience, because I need it...lol Now I know we almost all think we have patience to some degree, but when I began to read the definition of what patience is I laughed hysterically...here they are:

v     The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.

v     good-natured tolerance of delay or incompetence

Mannnnn....the last one is what made me go bannanas, "good natured tolerance of DELAY or INCOMPETENCE" 

I just got impatient reading that.....LOL

Sooooooooo...WOW we need to learn to be okay with being delayed even if it is by way of someone or soemthing that has NO CLUE....Bruuuuuuhahahahahahahaha....LOL Okay...so now we see why it takes the Holy Ghost - this patience thing can not be done by human doing! 

At ant rate, praise God we have an advocate with the father...cause Lord Jesus you know we (I) need you! Thank you Lord for your great example of patience toward us, showing us the ways that we can exhibit the fruit of the Spirit without toiling to do so...I LOVE YOU JESUS MWAH!!!!! Smooches!

PS Thank you Elisha and Carliss for sharing the wisdom! 

Time???

When we think about what really matters in marriage or in life for that matter; how do we measure up? 

A question came to my mind while I was sitting at my desk. How much time do you really spend with your spouse. I have the luxury of working side by side with my husband. Yayy mee right? Well, what I know is that time spent together does not count for real!

When is the last time you just simply, unselfishly, without any agenda, just spent some plain old fashioned time with your spouse. Time that does not include asking them anythng about work, yourself, the kids, the dog, the car, the house, the job, the yard....etc...you get it!

When is the last time you just said, "Hey, can you come sit over here and tell me how you are doing?" or "What is on your mind today?"

It could mean the difference in struggling throughout the day with your companion.

I've Been Restored

Psalm 80:7

Restore us, O God Almighty; Make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.

One of the most frustrating things for me is when my I-Phone will not function properly.  Recently I was I received notification that I as eligible for an upgrade on my phone.  When I tried to sync it with my IMac it gave me an error message saying, “This device is not eligible for an upgrade.” To make matters worse it kicked my phone and ipad into restore mode.  I was hot! I felt so host.  I had to go back to the Genius bar at Apple to see why my devices wouldn’t work. 

Do you know how it feels to have some equipment that you depend upon and they not be able to function.  Nobody could call me.  I couldn’t call anyone.  I could see the light on but I wasn’t getting any power.  They had a form of functioning but no power to go with it.  I took them to Apple and the genius people told me the reason they weren’t working was:

1. Too many people were trying to access the server.  When too many people have access to you it causes you to be overloaded and you miss upgrades from the Holy Spirit thus causing you to go into Restore mode.
2. My I-Tunes was not properly loaded.  If you are not in Tune with the Holy Spirit you can’t receive new information.  I have to be Tuned into God to receive new revelation.
3. I lost all of my functionality and needed to be restored back to factory setting.  Every now and then we need to be restored back to our factory settings.  When David messed up with Bathsheba and committed adultery and murder, he asked God to restore the joy of his salvation and to renew the right spirit within him.  Even the best of us mess up and need to be restored.
4. After you’ve been restored you have to reload your Apps.  Watching everything I was putting back on my phone made me question did I really need this App or was it just taking up space?

Today go to the Genius Bar and ask God to search you and if he find any wicked way to take it out.  Ask God to restore you back to the place where you were in him before your overload so he can download the new information he has for your life.

Dear God,

Restore us, Get us back to the place where we were before we gave away to much access and too much disk space.  Shine on us again so that we can be saved and upgrade our lives to match your will.

In Jesus Name,

Amen
