# 'Your pure and reverent conduct.'



“Actions speak louder than words.” 

1 Peter 3:1-2 New English Translation (NET Bible)

Wives and Husbands

1In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, even if some are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live, 2 when they see your pure and reverent conduct.

Of all the people my husband chooses me, I am not one of the easiest people to get along with.  I am opinionated, straight forward and to the point.  I am trying to be compassionate but I lack in that area.  I don’t show sympathy and I hate lies.  It makes me seem unapproachable and really difficult.  I also don’t change my mind and my belief in God is unchangeable, according to me my Savior is the Lord Jesus Christ and nothing else matters.


Because of my feelings and my actions; my husband just isn’t interested in serving God.  He said he tried it and it doesn’t work.  I was at a loose and I felt terrible.  I then realised that I cannot push him to serve God and that I should set the example.  The thing is I am fickle and have a different way of approaching life.  I don’t badger him anymore with the Word of God and am more considered, watch my mouth and work on being sincere towards him.

The challenge I am facing currently is being compassionate, controlling my mouth and not saying things the way I see them.  I do love him and it is my hope that he will become a true Christian.  I do submit to him and I am trying to be a good wife and I pray each day that the Lord Jesus will help me set the example.  Let my actions speak loader than words, which by the way are difficult at the best of times.

Prayer:  Oh Lord, my God thank You for the word that You inspire woman to be subject to their own husbands.  Lord help us to be an inspiration and let our actions speak loader than words to draw our husbands to You in the Holy Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

~ Reach Out if You Wish to Succeed ~ Galatians 5:13 – “By love, serve one another.”

Gentle reader, Permit me to offer this quiet truth: success does not arrive on satin cushions, announced by trumpets or tapping politely at your parlour door. No — it is more elusive, more noble in its pursuit. It often hides itself behind connections yet to be made, and relationships yet to be pursued. To flourish in this life, one must be bound — not by title or fortune — but by divine connection. For those who are destined to elevate you may not arrive unbidden. More often, it is you who must summon the courage to seek them out. Let us consider the evidence: Why is the newspaper sold on every corner, and the soda machine placed on every floor? Because success is positioned where the people are. Even our beloved Lord, Jesus — did He sit upon a high throne in a palace, declaring, “Only here may you find Me?” Certainly not. He moved among the people — to the market stalls, along the dusty shores where fishermen cast their nets, into the synagogues and modest homes. “He went through...
