My Role... a wife to my husband

" However, let each man of you (without exception) love his wife a (being in a sense) his very own self; and let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband (that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates and esteems him; and that she defers to him, praises him and love and admires him exceedingly)" Eph 5:33 (amp)

When i read this verse either NIV or NKJV version does not hit me as hard as this amplified version. I realized that my role as a wife-to-be towards Loong, my husband-to-be, I have to Notice him, Regards him, Honors him, prefers him, venerates and esteems him, defers to him, praises n love n admires him EXCEEDINGLY!

God spoke to me about areas i need to change and to be playing the role as God intended wives to be as to their husbands. God created Adam first and then God finds that it is no good for Adam to be alone and came Eve from the rib of Adam's. God intended woman to be a helper of her man. In the bible, there are a few prominent events of how women being such an influence - Eve inflence Adam to take the fruit of knowledge, Sarah influence Abraham to sleep with the maid, Queen Esther influence the King...etc

Though most examples i pointed out here, shows the negative influence of women over men, it also shows the "power of influence" women have over men.

My prayer is that, I will be changed by the H.S's help to be the woman, God intended me to be, the power of influence God made me to have over my husband will be of a good influence and a godly helper for my husband.

I'm working towards being a wife that God wants me to be-

Dear Heavenly Father,

let me(gloria, wife-to-be of Loong)see that I (glo) respects and reverences Loong that I(glo) notices him (Loong), regards Loong, honors Loong, prefers Loong, venerates and esteems Loong; and that I (glo)defers to Loong, praises Loong and love and admires Loong exceedingly
(Eph 5:33- prayer)

Love u Lord, In Your Precious Son's Name
Amen!

Another 1 & half month more...

Time passes by so fast and now i left 1.5 month in this country before i head back home for a good 6months.

So many things are on my mind and i'm now training 2 girls to be teaching in the Sunsch while i am away. Just 2wks ago, we launched the children ministry - Wesley Mighty Club. That very same wkend, we had a youth camp too. about 50 youths came to participate. A team from Yishun MC, came and also 2 dance professionals came to join us in this camp. The entire camp was successful but not that it is without any frustration. To work with different organizers and people (diff. culture) causes lots of tension.

Sad to know that, even the girls from sophia home were complaining about someone being unfair in the camp and giving the points to other teams bcos they are from this person's chch.

Overall, could see that our girls are being exposed to mix with other youths and get to see a different set of youths of the capital- their expressions, their thoughts...etc

It has been a busy wk but i sure enjoy hosting the teams from Spore. Probably is bcos i get to see Sporeans:)

Indeed He is the Provider!!! I was just thinking and really keen in getting a pair of hiking shoes(waterproof) due to the places that i go and weather too... the brooks that i got from SAF, just over used by me in all weather... a kind lady, dragged me to aside and asked me to have a look at the hiking shoes in a shop. She said that i should get a pair of gd shoes and it is important to have a gd pair since i walked alot... so i hesitated and i turned to her and look in her eyes, she said, just try and don't worry. At that moment, i was very touched and excited. With much embarassment i tried and she purchased it for me. I appreciated the lady very much and most importantly is that i know it was HIM who placed an impression on her heart.

Thank U for Your Providence in all things! Anyone out there who feels that u are lacking of something or in need for something? I can testified His goodness to the very point of paying off my rent here...
