The conference started Friday at 6:45 pm and ended Saturday at 1:15 at FBC. Mandy and Swaim went with Vince and me. Saturday morning we went to Kelly's for breakfast. It was great.
The DVD was on Love and Respect. It was very eye opening. It is based on scripture. The speaker did a great job with personal stories, verses, and God's plan for His children. Men are made differently than women in so many ways. Men need to feel respected, especially by their wives. They are willing to lay down their lives, if need be, to protect their family. Women need to feel loved by their husbands. When men feel respected they are more loving and willing to serve more. When women feel loved they are more willing to be respectful to their husbands.
Men need to provide for their families, protect them and need to be the head of their homes. When they feel disrespected they close down like a turtle, and shut down. Men need to have shoulder to shoulder companionship, without much conversation.
Women need face to face conversation. They need conversation, connection and affection. Sometimes they need to clarify when they just want to be listened to or if they want their husbands to fix something. Try not to point out problems, like dirty dishes, floor, etc. Don't grumble. We are responsible for our own actions and it does not depend on what anyone else did or did not. Our goal is to be Christ-like. Do everything as unto the Lord. It does not matter what was done that is hurtful. We can choose to be quiet and pray or we can choose start a fight.
Women need to take care of their appearance, first because we are His temple, second because our husbands are visually oriented. I definitely need to work on this area and ask God and my husband for forgiveness.
I Love to use this prayer I learned in BSF. Lord if I have done something wrong, please show me: if he has done something wrong, please show him.
We need to start or day with prayer: praising God for all His blessings, provisions, health, children, His love and forgiveness for us, etc. Then ask the Lord to wash us and forgive us for all our sins. Pray a watch keep over our mouths and put on the Armor of God. When I make a decision to put God first, my days go so much better. When I feel down I put on praise music, which always makes me feel better. God promises to inhabit the praises of His children.
