As a wife what is my first ministry after God?

That's such a great question, one that few of us know the answer to.  Well ladies as Christian wives, it's our husbands.  After our own personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ the Word of God states in Genesis 2:18 that we are our husbands helper.  We are called to help them in whatever way we can. Not control him or run over him but help him. My husband should be the primary benifactor of my time and energy.  Now when I first read that I must admit Ladies I had some issues that I had to deal with.  The first one was what about me, and the second was what about me?

It first began in the 4th year of our marriage...I knew it had to be more because what I was doing wasn't working.  That whole "I" thing was major because I thought it was him who had the problem. So when I finally got tired of myself and had no where else to turn, which is right where God wanted me. He's the One I turned to.  So as I blog I will share how He and His Word made the difference in our marriage and He's the reason why I'm still married and loving every minute of it.

  2. Hi Lori, it's great having you and I'm so excited about you starting the Excellent Wife Bible Study. I look forward to hearing about your journey. The book is so full of the Word of God that it demands our attention. It is a continuous process and I'm encouraged by other women who are as excited about their relationship with the Lord. Great accountability!

  4. Hello Beautiful Women of God,
    I'm very excited as my book comes in the mail today. I've been apart of the study for a week now but they ran out of books. I can't wait to dig in...I know I have to read like 8 chapters to catch up but I have a feeling I'm going to love every minute of it. I love Jesus and my Husband soooo much and anything I can do to ensure that I love them both the way they deserve to be loved...I'm all over it. I am open and bare before God and I really want Him to go deep into places that only He can go to and clean out anything that may still be a hinderence in my walk. I know I have "stuff" and I would love God to wash me and bring me to a deeper place than I've ever been. I look forward to sharing my travels with all of you as we embark on this adventure together. Please let me know if there is anything I can pray for and I will stand with you for your Victory!!! Love Always, Lori Storms xoxo
