Ah, finally finishing up this book! I've just finished reading the last line and my tears are finally drying up.. I broke out in tears when I read Margaret's story. It's beautiful. Wow. I want to be like that for my own children and husband. Wow. It's possible right Sara?
So, this last chapter was really excellent in that it reminded me again what submission is about. I appreciated the example of placing your full weight on someone and them automatically exerting counter-pressure to hold me up! Also, what submission looks like and who we truly trust in is absolutely vital to understanding what submission is.
I was reminded again to respect my husband. Sometimes I freak on him when something goes wrong, blaming him in my heart. I need to demonstrate my love and respect to him by treating him special and watching my words, tone of voice, countenance and my body language.
I love how she says, "submission, in its simplest form, is trust in God' which is so true. That we can trust God to lead my husband, to lead me. If I knew that when I started out our married life I think I could've saved us a boatload of heartache and bitterness.
Now that you are on the road to **LOVE** I am excited to know that you already have much more godly knowledge that I did at your age. The Lord is guiding you Sara and I'm so blessed to see you grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus. I am sure you will be a Margaret with your 5 children and joyful demeanor. :-)
Love ya! Jules
