Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor. ~Romans 12:10
“What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the desires that battle within you? You want something but you do not get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want.” (James 4: 1-3)
Power struggles are like intentionally hurting your mate. Power struggles are a way of saying:
“I insist on you agreeing with me. I insist that my point of view is right. I know the correct way to do things, and you must do them my way.”
This is the one of the strategies of the evil one- to bring a power struggle between spouses. Instead of being on the same side and keeping the enemy out, spouses often fight each other. Imagine what a power union it would be if you stay united, pray together and see victory in every situation you confront.

A relationship that’s 50/50:
He works, pays all the bills, protects & loves me… while I cook, clean, tend to & love him.
Balance 🤝🏾

“He gave me the ick.” “Three month rule.” “Situationship.” “I got bored of him.” “He’ll propose by __ years if he loves you.”
Just say you don’t believe in love and move on.

Finding Strength and Hope in Times of Trials: Trusting God's Plan for Your Life
Life is a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns, where trials and challenges often await us. In the midst of these difficult seasons, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed, discouraged, and lost. However, as Christian women, we have a powerful source of strength and hope: our unwavering trust in God's plan for our lives. In this blog post, we will explore how we can find the strength and hope we need to navigate through trials by placing our trust in the loving hands of our Heavenly Father.
🌸 Embracing God's Sovereignty 🌸
At the core of trusting God's plan is recognizing His sovereignty over all things. Even when trials seem insurmountable and circumstances appear bleak, we can find solace in knowing that God is in control. Reflect on passages like Romans 8:28, which assures us that "God works all things together for the good of those who love Him." By embracing His sovereignty, we can rest assured that He has a purpose in our trials, even if we can't comprehend it at the moment.
🌸 Anchoring in God's Promises 🌸
Throughout Scripture, we find a treasure trove of promises that provide us with strength and hope during difficult times. Promises like Isaiah 41:10, where God says, "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." By immersing ourselves in God's Word, we can cling to these promises and find comfort in His unwavering faithfulness.
🌸 Cultivating Unwavering Faith 🌸
Trials can test the foundation of our faith, but it is during these times that our trust in God's plan truly shines. Hebrews 11:1 reminds us that "faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." By nurturing our faith through prayer, reading Scripture, and seeking the counsel of fellow believers, we can strengthen our confidence in God's plan, even when it feels challenging to do so.
🌸 Drawing Inspiration from Biblical Figures 🌸
The Bible is filled with stories of men and women who faced trials and emerged stronger in their faith. Reflecting on the experiences of figures like Joseph, Esther, and Paul can inspire and encourage us. Consider Joseph's journey from slavery to leadership, Esther's courage in the face of potential death, or Paul's perseverance through countless trials. These stories remind us that God is faithful to His promises and can work wonders in the midst of our own trials.
🌸 Finding Purpose in Pain 🌸
While trials may seem senseless and painful, God has a remarkable way of using them to shape us, refine our character, and fulfill His purposes in our lives. As difficult as it may be, let us seek to find meaning in our pain by trusting that God is working for our good and His glory. Through our trials, we can experience personal growth, develop empathy, and become vessels of His love and grace.
🌸 Resting in God's Presence and Community 🌸
During times of trial, we don't have to face them alone. God's presence is a wellspring of strength and peace, available to us through prayer, worship, and quiet reflection. Additionally, seeking support from our Christian community can provide the comfort and encouragement we need to press on. Surround yourself with fellow believers who can walk alongside you, pray for you, and offer wise counsel.
Conclusion
Trusting God's plan for our lives is not always easy, especially when we are faced with trials and uncertainties. Yet, as Christian women, we can find unwavering strength and hope by placing our trust in our loving Heavenly Father. Embrace His sovereignty, anchor yourself in His promises, cultivate unwavering faith, draw inspiration from biblical figures, find purpose in your pain, and rest in His presence and community. As you journey through trials, remember that God's plan is perfect, and He will guide you through every step, leading you to a place of strength, hope, and ultimate victory.

Take care of the family God has given you.
Part of me waited to feel like I had a "family" because it wouldn't feel official until my husband and I had a child of our own. I'm learning to feel blessed with the family God has given me in this season of my life, and take care of them how I would take care of my familial ideal.
My husband and I recently moved into a new home, and my sister in law and her husband are renting the spare room from us. Since we've all moved in together I've learned how much I enjoy taking care of everyone, from cooking, to cleaning, to encouraging their ambitions. I never expected this to be the case, but God has truly opened my eyes to how a Christian woman can be a homemaker even when she has no children.
This might look different for you. Perhaps you an adult daughter still living with her parents and siblings. Take care of them. Perhaps you are a college student with roommates. Take care of them. Perhaps you live alone in an apartment complex, but have many elderly neighbors on your floor. Invite them to dinner, and take care of them.
God is faithful to lead us to a community, but sometimes we get distracted by the fact that it isn't the ideal we see for ourselves, and overlook our ability to serve and love them nonetheless. I've been thinking a lot about how I would feel if I found out we would never be able to have kids — and whether I could be happy homemaking for a family that didn't consist of my children.
I think I could, but this realization has come only through God opening my eyes to the fact that we are all His children, brothers and sisters in Christ — family by default, and all responsible to serve one another.

"Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies." Proverbs 31:10
The answer to the above question is found at the end of the chapter: "A woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised."
The godly attributes of this virtuous woman are unattainable in our own strength. But the one who desires to be holy and virtuous, can only achieve this through the power of the Holy Spirit and by the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is rooted in dependency upon Christ to work His work through us, thereby producing the fruit of the Spirit and every other godly attribute.
Who can find a virtuous woman? She can only be found in the one where Christ is all in all.

Ever noticed how most people who have issues with traditional people, values, marriages, and families typically have more troubled minds & lives?
Personally, I strive to live a more biblically structured life than a traditional one, but a lot of biblical ways of living align with traditional ways of living… & a lot of traditional families are God fearing.
There’s absolutely a reason for that.
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” -Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
There is so much peace, harmony, structure & value in this way of living. It’s such a shame that some people have turned it into something so evil when it’s meant to be so rewarding & life giving.
(Ladies, it should go without saying that this way of living should be reserved for your husband’s, but that’s not the point of this particular post!)

My thoughts on the umbrella of authority:
The umbrella of authority is a ranking system created by Bill Gothard, the founder of IBLP. This system ranks the authority of each person in a family unit. (+ Religious figures).
Before I continue I’d like to make it clear I am not affiliated with IBLP, and I am 100% aware IBLP is a cult. This post is purely to explain what I, an average Catholic, thinks of that system.
The order of the umbrella of authority:
❥ Jesus Christ
❥ Pastors
❥ Husband
❥ Wife
❥ Children
While the documentary Shiny Happy People made it sound as if this entire concept was created by Bill Gothard: It wasn’t. The concept does come straight from the bible.
By no means is this to say the bible speaks of this concept to the same extent, however.
Bill Gothard took the order of authority to an entirely different level. A very misogynistic and predatory level. Bill Gothard’s version of how women should submit essentially meant being completely docile and in a way it was legal sex trafficking.
Biblically speaking, submission does not mean being completely docile, nor does it mean letting a man do whatever he wants to you.
The bible says that if a man cheats on his wife, he should be k*lled. The bible also says that you should always leave a relationship with an evil person. This very clearly applies to domestic violence.
The bible does not in any capacity support a husband being disloyal or violent towards his wife.
In fact according to the bible a man should…
❥ Praise his wife and speak highly of her (+ If you have children teach them to do the same)
❥ Love his wife the way Christ loves us
❥ Always treat his wife with understanding + honour her
❥ Always treat his wife gently
The order of authority in my mind is less about who has power and more about who provides for who.
Jesus died for us to go to heaven. Pastors spread his word to help us get there. Husbands provide financially for their family. Wives provide for their husband and children by taking care of the home and making sure they get to live happily. Children grow up and repeat the process.
Overall I do not think Bill Gothard’s interpretation of the biblical order of authority is correct. The order is correct, the beliefs behind it are not.
Again: I am not affiliated with IBLP. I know they’re a cult. This post is not in support of them or Bill Gothard at all. I’ve just been watching Shiny Happy People and wanted to talk about what the average Christian thinks about it.
