P.U.S.H.

Back in high school I had a couple of different bracelets I received in youth group. One said, "PUSH" and the other said, "FROG.." I wish I still had both of them...as much as I hate to admit it, I don't always "Pray Until Something Happens" or "Fully Rely On God" the way I should. A lot of times I find that I am much more talk than I am walk...I was reading Take Four by Karen Kingsbury when I was reminded of the "PUSH" bracelet and I got to thinking, 'why am I not constantly praying until something happens?!' Which reminded me further of another book I had bought before Paul and I got married called, The Power of a Praying Wife....I realized how important (I already knew this, so maybe I should say I was reminded) it was to be praying for my husband daily...same with my children! Why have I not been continually doing this? So then, I felt even more compelled when I read the opening verse in The Power of a Praying Wife to change the way I pray; Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. Proverbs 31:10-12 This was the verse read and focused on at my Grandma's funeral...the verse described her to her fullest and I remember thinking about how I wanted that verse to be about me too....I realize I am rambling my thoughts here, but sometimes that's the best way to get things said....so, tonight....I "re"begin my book with chapter one, "His Wife." Because if my heart is not where it should be in this, my prayers won't mean a whole lot...and I want to be the wife God created me to be!
