I'm very opinionated. And usually make good choices. Nate does too, but there's also silly mistakes sometimes. A major role for a wife is played in submission. Thankfully, I mean I really thank God, Nathan is amazingly considerate and weighs my advice very heavily. I love him :) Anyway, I know that down the road, especially once are kids come into play, we're gonna butt heads and I'll have to back down.
This is how I see this going: Morgan puts in her two cents. We talk, discuss, come up with a plan. Morgan let's Nate's plan win out even if she feels wrong about it - WITHOUT - causing him to feel angry or guilty by my attitude or actions. And then - Morgan PRAYS. :) That Nathan's following God's leading, that the outcome will be ok, that God can reveal to Nathan the right choice, or that God can show me where I'm wrong and that it's time to chill. - Morgan TRUSTS.That being said, Nathan's exceptional when it comes to making choices. Financially. Spiritually. Socially. Mentally. Physically. And ironically, I couldn't see how good he was at it until God showed me that Nathan's success and failures won't look how I expect them to: he's not me. And, while things might look differently, they still compliment. <3
Jesus, I know things seem to be going so smoothly right now and I thank You for Your hand of favor on our lives. I feel so blessed. I pray that continues but I also pray that You help me cope when it's not. Help me to submit to Nate's authority under You because I trust and pray that You're the One leading him. I pray that You help him to quickly recognize error and avoid it. I pray that You help him to heed wise counsel. I pray that You instruct him even while he is sleeping. I pray that he always allows You to win out over his flesh.
"A wise man will hear and increase learning and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel." - Proverbs 1:5
