Divinely Hooked

Well my journey to wellness hasn't gone anywhere. lol I called the doctors office last week and had to leave a message, but it works out because we are broke again so I can't afford to go anyway. Our co-pay is low, but if they have to run test and stuff it'll have to wait. I'm always thinking ahead to rent and stuff. It'll be a few days late this month, so we have to pay extra. So I'm trying to make sure we have enough for that before I spend any money. Although I could try to make an appointment for after rent and everything is paid, but I never know what income we will have coming in. So I'll wait it out again. This week we had both of the boys' first dentist appointments so that was extra spending. And in a couple weeks my oldest has allergy testing done... so my appointment will wait even longer. The other part that sucks is that I can't give my 7yr old any medicine for at least 10 days before his allergy test so that the meds don't mess up t

I am blessed with a man who is a really good daddy to our children. When he walks in the door the mood and attitude of the whole house changes because Daddy's Home! Our kids adore him and his unconditional love. My husband is the most laid back man I've ever met. He, even though he doesn't try, is the real deal. He's a man who is (extremely) slow to anger. We have been together for 8 years and I can count on one hand the times I've seen him angry. And it's a wonderful thing when we have strong willed children. (lol I can't imagine where they get that from...) What amazes me even more with him, is that he never met his father. He never had that steady guy in his life to show him what fatherhood was all about, and yet here he is killing it! I'm a proud wife. :) Many people have a hard time around father's day. There's all those sappy lovey-dovey father's day cards and stuff and people either don't have a father living, never had a father

We are all tempted, probably on a daily basis. Tempted by something that is a weakness or has an appeal to us. It could be food, drink, sex, porn, technology whatever it is that pulls at our attention. The devil uses these things to keep our focus away from God and the calling He has put on our lives.       John 10:10 NIV "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;..." Satan's purpose is to harm and to keep us as far away from God and His promises as he can. He uses whatever he can to keep you down. He is the king of Liars. No one likes a liar, and he is the main one that we believe. Why is that? Just because he uses our own voice in our own heads, doesn't make what he says true! For example, I try not to eat food at night. 1 because I get heartburn and get fat (lol) and 2 because eating at night gives me some really weird dreams (like lock me in a padded room weird haha). But I watch tv at night.. and what do almost all the commercials advertise at

Submissive Before doing my research into this word/task I hated the word/idea “submissive”. To me it was a way for men to take over and do as they pleased and us lowly women didn’t have a voice. We were to do as we were told and that was the end of it. It doesn’t mean that we aren’t to have opinions or thoughts of our own, but it’s to allow our husbands to step up and be the husbands/fathers/leaders that God created them to be. Our husbands are supposed to be the head of the household and we are to follow that lead; giving them advice and help along the way. However, if they make a stupid choice, which we all know they will, we are to stand by them continuing to guide and help them and not to discourage them more and keeping our “I told you so”s to ourselves. (I know it’s hard! Especially because I’m always right! Lol) My husband can’t become the man God is calling him to be if I’m too busy taking care of everything and being the head of the household. I’m a control freak. I like t
