For all those interested there will be a group of us heading to a women's conference March 7-8. The theme is "Do the Right Thing" Choosing Obedience Above All Else.
If you are interested in attending this conference, please see me for a registration form! It is $30; Student cost is $25. This is always a great conference! It is close by, so we will commute both days.

A Godly Woman is...Faithful
Proverbs 31:11 "Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value."
Tonight was a fun and loving night! Since this is the "love" month, it was appropriate to to talk a lot about love and being a Godly wife. We began our night by sharing about someone who models love. The examples ranged from Grandmothers taking care of their failing spouse to a father running a marathon while pushing his handicapped son to friends showing up at the hospital at midnight to check on a sick friend. Who pops into your head as someone who models love?
Rhonda then shared with us about being a faithful wife/woman. She shared how important it is for the husband to have confidence in his wife and to know that she will support him. She shared verses about a quarrelsome wife is worse than dripping water (Proverbs 19:13). All this to say that a godly woman will support her husband, respect him, and encourage him in what he does. She is not nagging or quarrelsome.
We followed the devotional time up with a game of "Family Feud". Teams were divided up by how long each woman had been married (Glenda ruled the roost with 31 years.)
Some of the survey questions were name the basic needs that men need met. What 10 things do people want in a mate? What are the 3 most used scripture verses at weddings? (FYI...1 Cor. 13, John 15:9-12, & Matthew 19:4-6). For each correct answer the winners were given chocolate....everyone wanted to win this game:)
After the game, we had a Q/A time with some of the following questions...
1. Did you marry the person of your "dreams"?
2. Are "white lies" appropriate in marriage?
3. How do you handle the verse "do not let the sun go down on your anger"...Eph. 4:26?
4. How do you have fun with your husband...do you still date?
5. As a single woman...is thee anything you want to ask a married woman?
Each of these questions was answered with a lot of discussion and godly advice. The whole purpose was to allow the single girls to get a picture of a godly marriage and to allow the married girls an opportunity to be encouraged and to learn from other women. No matter what, we all learned that marriage and relationships in general need to be built on the rock...Jesus! Lots of prayer needs to be included in a marriage. None of us are perfect...marriage and relationships are not easy, but God will give you the strength you need to be a Faithful wife.
Of course, we ended the evening with lots of sweet goodies!!!!!! February is a great month for chocolate!
Our next gathering will be a service project at Kathleen's! Please come out and help us bless her by cleaning her apartment! More details to follow!
