Today feels like the beginning of a new life. Although Rodney and I have been married since January 28th, it wasn’t until yesterday; April 7th that this unity has truly begun.
If you have read my previous blogs, you would probably recognize the heart aches I have shared and the low points of my life. I was taught a saying a few years ago that I wrote on my heart and it is that a woman should be so hidden in Christ that a man has to go through Him to get to her.
I can honestly say that I was hidden in Christ…completely. I pressed into his covering however I did not complete trust him until one day I surrendered completely, totally, and transparently to Jesus Christ. I didn’t want anything to do with a relationship except to be my all in all with Christ. I wanted to work for Christ, play for Christ, and experience ONLY Christ. Focus completely on Him regardless of what happens.
Once I surrendered to the LORD, he opened a window that lead me to the man I am now completely and totally committed to; Rodney. Yet, Rodney had to go Jesus Christ to ask for me. Rodney, too, had to surrender completely, totally, and transparently to Jesus Christ in order for the LORD to present me to him.
Now, we’ve experienced our trials and some tribulations and what we know to be true is that Christ will see us through on the other side of the hurdle.
We shared our transformation with our family on Saturday April 7th and it was a taste of heaven for me. I hope it was the same for those that attended also.
I truly felt like a “Princess of the Most High God.” I felt I was being presented to Rodney as I was on January 28th but it was an invitation to our brothers and sisters to join us in our journey, to thank God for the great thing He has done in us, through us, and most importantly for us just because He loves us.
This morning I woke up filled with a joy that was overwhelming and so much so that I was in tears. Rodney and I talked and we feel the same way. We dreamed of a complete love like this, a unity of this kind, but had not experienced it….until now. My cup runneth over.
I strongly suggest to you my sisters to press into the LORD and be so hidden in his word, write his words on your hearts and most importantly allow Him to change you from the inside out.
I shared this truth with two girls friends the other day and I feel lead to share it with you.
I want to be all that God calls me to be as a woman. I therefore looked up what his word says about that. I found that a woman needs to be a daughter. God is our Father; therefore we ought to press into being HIS daughter.
The word tells us to be a “wise woman.” Therefore we ought to pursue his wisdom; his ways. We ought to pay close attention to how we dress and speak how we present ourselves to one another and to the male gender. What does the male gender see?
We ought to be wise in our decisions and think before we act. This just might save us a lot of heartache we place upon ourselves.
Last we are called to a wife. Just as God presented a helper and wife named Eve to Adam in the establishment of marriage, we too are made to be a man’s helper and wife. Gen Later, the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a companion that is a suitable match for him.” Though we may have to go through molding and shaping by God he will completely transform us to be a match for someone HIS else.
I am not a perfect woman, I do not have all the answers on how this is to happen, but I am striving to be the best woman, wife, and friend to the man God has matched me with. Ahhhhhhh!
~We are loved by a perfect God.
