I heard  Ellie Holcomb's song  "The Broken Beautiful" few days ago 
and it talked to me...
Sometimes we are so focused on our problems or our not so happy circumstance that
we can loose our focus and really forget who God is...
So that's why in those kind of situations it's good to stop and ask:
"Would You remind me now of who You are?"
And He will answer you:

My love for you never changes!
I'm your healer!
 I can take all the broken things and make them beautiful!



 Always be joyful.   
Always keep on praying.   
No matter what happens, always be thankful, 
for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
-1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

In Proverbs 21:9 we can read that it's not nice to live with a nagging wife...
Well let's face it:conflicts are inevitable. 
But is there something we can change in our behavior so that we could improve our marriage?
Yesterday I red from the Les&Leslie Parrot newsletter that
  Louisville University has studied 160 married couples and their annoying behaviors.
I want to share with you the list they made...

So here are
     some of the most highly ranked annoying behaviors in marriage:


  • Asking your spouse to tell you how you look.
  • Making negative comments about what your spouse is wearing.
  • Packing too many items and suitcases for a trip.
  • Taking too long to get ready to leave the house.
  • Boring your spouse by spending too much time shopping.
  • Nagging.
  • Looking at your phone while talking to your spouse.
  • Being possessive.
  • Spending too much time on the computer.
  • Being bossy.
  • Spending money just to “even the scales.”
  • Using sex as a tool of manipulation.
  • Not picking up after yourself around the house. 
-Tim Finn
 
The important thing is to think about how your spouse feels about your nagging or criticism..
And in the end what works in the marriage is empathy!
"Do not judge your neighbor until you have walked two moons in his moccasins."
-Native American proverb

 You can be still and...
 Why? Because God says that HE is GOD and He takes care of you!

He will feed his flock like a shepherd.
    He will carry the lambs in his arms,
holding them close to his heart.
Isaiah 40:11

July is here!
I wish you blessed, happy and sunny July!

Give thanks to the Lord!
Call on his name!
Make known his accomplishments among the nations!
-1 Chronicles 16:8
