A picture from the Relate conference at my church.
Have you ever experienced having a normal schedule and then sickness sets you back? Well this weekend that is what I experienced. When your sick you have perspective on life, boredom and rest. I feel like sickness for me is God telling me to slow down and a command to rest. He has different plans than we do.
I have an amazing husband! Through my sickness he went to the store several times to pick up home remedies or medicine. He even helped around the house. Thank you Denny.
Since I was sick and it’s a Sunday; we listened to a sermon from online by Mark Driscoll. Below are some of my notes.
Real Marriage by Mark Driscoll
– Slogan: new marriage, new spouse
– when your marriage mores more towards ministry, Satan attacks more, he hates marriage
– marriages are a demonstration of the gospel
– Satan attacks marriages, he attacked Adam and Eve after they were married
1) be honest
-What secret do you have?
– proverb 18:21 your words either bring life or death?
2) leave your father and mother
– traditions look different, what traditions do you want for your new family?
What type of home do you have? 1) organized (closed home, tight ship) 2)open home (organized but not too tight) 3) random home (no schedule, you can eat when you want, people coming and going)
– when you idolized you demonize
– When you put Jesus and your spouse as a priority people will demonize you
– When you share your testimony god is the hero, when you share your biography your the hero.
-The 1 st book in the bible is about marriage and then war follows.
-The blood of the lamb,Jesus, died, shedding blood in my place to remove my filth
-would you want your grandchildren to read your Marriage testimony? If not, bring more of Jesus in.
– If your Single- you have biblical relationships, 9 out of 10 people marry, this series is preparation to: counsel others (Jesus was single), evaluate your family of origin and live a full life of singleness ( we worship a single guy)
– If your married-work on your testimony: get rid of bitterness, crush your idols
A woman praying to feel better.

This sermon reminded my husband and I that we should be praying over each other more. I pray for him alone but praying over them in person is also nice. It’s really encouraging and uplifting. I would love to hear how this helped your marriage? singleness? perspective in general with relationships?
