Naked with No Shame week 2

Well here we are in week 2 already, and its also the start of a new year. I had everything that I wanted to say all journaled and marked and ready to share , but through some crazy turn of events and well, basically God having other plans this week has changed a bit. Notice how I said I had it all ready ,all journaled , I....I...I and everything I wanted to share. Ha isn't that the way we women work. We have to be in complete control ...we know whats best. Well , this morning as I was reading in Genesis 3 ... verses 4 and 5 were all but jumping off the page at me.Of course, I kept scrolling past to find the "perfect" verse that would fit with what I wanted to say , but I just kept going back to those verses haha.... like they had some kindof magnetic pull or something. GENESIS 3:4-5 The serpent told the woman,"You won't die." God knows that the moment you eat from that tree, you'll see whats really going on.You'll be just like God, knowing everything,ranging all the way from good to evil." This is how I translated that conversation .... "ok lady you wanna be in control? You wanna have the last say? You wanna wear the pants or in her situation the fig leaves? Eat from the tree you take charge ... You will know everything !!! You don't need God or man telling you anything you are woman!!!! eat that fruit and roar !!!! WAIT ! Isn't that still us today??? oh yes ladies that serpent is still out there creeping around in our ears in the form of so many different insecurietes, fears, envy, addictions.......He is everywhere and we are still eagerly accepting his evil donations of disobedience and temptations. Although I completed the 30 day challenge I have been very quick to notice that there are days when I find it very difficult to stay on course with being the wife that the bible speaks of ..... Honestly some days its down right impossible. Ha ! lets take today for example .... My words today have been uncontrollable and hurtful towards my husband ... Not at all like the challenge speaks of on day 5 ...... Day 5 is apprpriately named "whats on your tongue" ? and here is the verse : "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear." —Ephesians 4:29 Wow !!! that was a slap in the face to me today and it really got me thinking about The verse above from Genesis.... I just wonder how Adam and Eve handled their new found scolding from God with each other.... Ha ! I bet there was some serious nagging and finger pointing going on !!!! When I think about arguments today between husband and wife ... the word thrashing, door slamming ,going to bed mad arguments I can't help but to wonder what was said between our first ever married couple and come on ladies don't tell me they just kissed and hugged and said ooops after they were banished from the Garden of Eden ..... remember satan just gave Eve the excuse to take over and wear the pants ........ I bet there was more than one moment she wished that she was still naked and enjoying the amazing feeling of no shame. I have to be completely honest with you when I say I really don't know where I am going with week 2 except for to say that I really felt the tug on my heart today to slow down and listen. How often to we just listen ladies??? I don't think I can count on 2 hands how many times Paul has said that to me " why don't you listen Heidi." and the answer is simple ..... Why don't I??? I mean really its biblical "Be quick to hear, slow to speak." —James 1:19 You know whats funny??? Its not just our husbands that applies too ladies..... How often are we in such a hurry to get "our" plans on track that we don't , not even for a second Listen to what God is telling us... Why should we right ? we got this ... I mean we take a huge bite of the forbidden fruit every time we sharp tongue talk our husbands or directly ignore his suggestion or even question what being submissive intels.... When we are perposley rebelling against our husband because we wont to be in control than we are perposely disobeying God. Check this out ladies !!! "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord." Ephesians 5:22 "Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives." 1 Peter 3:1 "Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord."Collosians 3:18 Hey Ladies , I Think God wants us to submit to our husbands!! Its pretty obvious! How can we listen to and be obedient to God on the plans he has for our dreams and our lives when we can't be obedient to husband that God has given us to love , honor , and respect? I feel like this had been alot hahaha ! so get ready for a busy week ahead :) I encourage you to look over these verses this week, every one has been so impactfull to me so I encourage you really dig deep into the meanings of them!! Mine will certainly be James 1 :19 .... I need to be quick to hear. I want to hear Paul's voice and I want to completely honor him , but i especially want to be able to hear Gods voice. I hope you ladies have an incredible week and remember in order to be Naked with no shame we have to be able to hear Gods voice and respond to Him completely naked with our whole hearts ! All in !!! I want to pray tonight "God you already know every persons name who will read tonight's blog before I even post it . I pray God that the words that you have given me will be impactfull. i thank you God for the courage to be bold , to be naked and unashamed. I pray God that over these next 52 weeks someones marriage will be repaired and our hearts will be made new. I love you Lord..... Amen
