God has really blessed me through you, my lovely daughter.
I do know the struggles you have had in your marriage, and how God has revealed himself in a fresh and new way and has literally transformed you! You are right, we do live in a time when roles are misunderstood at best and where it’s considered wrong or old fashioned if a women isn’t independent and free from control. It took me a long time to even admit that I have brought about life changing consequences in my life and marriage because I thought I was the best leader and because my husband was not assertive. We made lots and lots of mistakes! God was trying to teach me, but I was too stubborn or arrogant to submit to God or my husband. I guess I had trust issues, but because I followed feelings instead of the voice of God, God allowed our lives to fall apart. My husband, just gave up & lost hope.
For the longest time I could not even read your book “The Quarreling Wife” or your blog because I didn’t want to face the truth!
But it is life to dry bones & I encourage any wife who runs the show and has made a mess of her life, to ask God for forgiveness & start practicing the biblical principles you have laid out!
One side note I would like to mention to women is this- Danielle has literally been blessed coming and going. I have personally witnessed this. Who wouldn’t want that? Is she perfect or have all the answers? Of course not! But she is faithful and God honors that. Not only have I witnessed a huge change in her heart, but I have seen the mighty blessings God has poured out in her life- from inner healing, peace, a happy & healthy family and numerous financial blessings!
I know I am tired of “my way” and I want peace, so I am finally applying these truths to my life & marriage! It’s never too late! Well done Danielle, I know it hasn’t been easy, and thank you for listening to the Lord. You have helped change my life for the better & have strengthened my faith in the Lord.
Love Mom
