The Suffocating Wake of Porn

April 16, 2013 By

The day my husband’s struggle with porn came to light, a new, unwanted battle ID-1004417-1twisted to life inside me.

The wicked pictures that once held my husband hostage now try to shove me under their suffocating wake.
Each moment of the day painful reminders of my husband’s unfaithfulness surface through:

  • Billboards along the roads flaunting airbrushed bodies causing my heart and stomach to sink.
  • Living room- turned harsh environment- as I tensely wait for the next perfect body flashed at just the right angle (over and over) on our family TV making my skin crawl.
  • Church services… I learned years ago to dread Easter Sunday. The live bodies with skin-tight dresses, not enough fabric, sitting all around my husband and teenage son make worship difficult at best.
  • Newspaper ads…the list goes on and on….

Faster than my eyes capture these forms, my mind goes to where it should not.

Thoughts flood my mind comparing myself to the pictures, then I imagine my husband’s lustful thoughts…then remember his actions… Bitterness, hate and fear towards my repentant husband, who is now whole-heartedly following the Lord, overtake my mind…then come out in my ugly, nasty, hate-filled responses.

This is no longer my husband’s sin issue attacking our marriage, but mine.

Each of my condemning thoughts hand the devil a new, powerful opportunity to overthrow the hard-won healing of our marriage.

So now what?

  • First, I go to God’s word daily to seek His help and realize this is a spiritual battle within me:

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-4

“Come to your senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.” 2 Timothy 2:26

  • Second, I realize this is my own personal sin issue. I choose to embrace negative thoughts instead of destroying them:

I need to, “destroy speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and  take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” 2 Cor. 10:5

  • Lastly, I resolve (stick-in-my-heels determination) to make all my thoughts obedient to Christ through Philippians 4:8

What ever is true about my husband, whatever is honorable about my husband, whatever is right about my husband, whatever is pure about my husband, whatever is lovely about my husband, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. (It might be a short list of things at first, but dwell on them!)

“Act resolutely (with firmness and determination), and the Lord will be with the upright.” 2 Cronicles 19:11b

What supernaturally flows out of obedience to these verses?

“The peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7

And this Peace enables me to walk along side my husband and encourage him to become all God desires him to be.  My obedience to Christ empowers my husband to heal. (OH Yeah! This is where we see the fruit of our obedience!)

Is this journey we are on together easy?    No.


But, have I experienced God’s faithfulness to, “do far more abundantly beyond all that I ask or think,” due to diligent (stick-in-those-heels!) obedience to His word?    Yes!

Lord, there is no one besides You to help me in this battle. I have no strength; so help me, O ID-10030508Lord my God, for I trust in You, and in Your name have come against this overwhelming situation. O Lord, You are my God; let not anything prevail against you. -2 Chron 14:11.

Sweet mom, I know how hard this battle is, along with the everyday stresses of mommyhood.  We are here to pray with you and for you.  Tell us, how is your battle today?

Deeper Still

March 7, 2013 By

I felt helpless laying flat on the table, doctors talking in hushed whispers as they hovered around me.  I gripped my husband’s quivering hand as he sat over me and sobbed.   As the ultrasound wand circled my swollen belly I felt like a lab-rat being inspected from the inside out.

Scan

The pictures on the ultrasound screen spoke two different messages: one to the doctors of deformity, illness, malady, dysfunction; the other to me of a precious silhouette with hiccups, clinched fists, cute crossed legs, sweet nose.

The professionals started urging me to take the “best road”, to terminate the pregnancy and get on with life.  A baby with Edward’s Syndrome has no hope for survival.  They assured me abortion was my best option.

The doctors called my home.  The geneticists called my home. Well meaning family called my home.  Calling to tell me to take this “best road”.

A doctor told me that it would be hard on hospital staff emotionally to deal with my stillborn baby.

All this pressure was astounding.   Married to a husband with a great job, in no medical danger but overrun with pressure to abort my baby.  What must the pressure be like for the woman without all my comforts?

My heart breaks for those who found themselves in a tighter corner than mine and decided to abort.  We live in a culture that is quick to yell how wrong abortion is (and it is), but lack merciful servants who help bind the broken hearts shred from it all.

But there is hope! This is Christ’s specialty! He sets the prisoner free! He brings complete healing, wholeness, and breaks the silence and lies that surround the abortion wounded heart.

Nearly 56 million babies have lost their lives in the United States since the 1973 Roe Vs Wade decision. Think of the size this way- 8 million live in New York City today, so 7 cities the size of NY have been wiped out.

Each of the 56 million children belonged to both a mother and father, men and women of all ages. Today these parents secretly suffer in silence.  So many need to know they can live the abundant life found in Christ alone.  -Karen Ellison

Deeper Still is a God given ministry to help the abortion-wounded heart.  They lead those who are trapped to real healing, true joy, and lasting freedom through Christ. 

Please, take the first step, go to their website and consider signing up for a retreat. The weekend is free. You can heal alongside others and leave with your own before/after testimony like these:

Silenced & Shamed/ Joyous & Forgiven!  Life Taker/ Life Protector!

Rejected & Undeserving/ Found Acceptance in Jesus!

Shame-Filled/ Shamelessly Serving Christ!

Limited by Past/Sky’s the Limit! Broken & Splintered/Healed&Whole

Come, let the Lord lead you beside quiet waters and restore your soul. How can The Mom Initiative encourage you towards complete healing today?

I am confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in me will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.  –Philippians 1:6

In Christ alone,

True Love or a Fairy Tale?

February 28, 2013 By

ID-10067671

This isn’t part of Cinderella’s happily ever after…

…or in any other fairy tale I’ve read.  The prince and princess who  overcome every obstacle,  finally swept together in rapturous “love”, then wham.  Every force available in the kingdom seems to shove them apart.

The prince works a stressful fifty-plus hour work week, travels, leaves before the sun goes up, comes home right in time to tuck the little ones in bed, nods off then speeds off again. His once stately shoulders sag under the burden of his workplace and striving to be a husband and father.

Once surrounded in glass slippers, the princess’ toes are now worn and calloused from her full time responsibilities. As soon as her feet hit the cold floor she is overseeing school and schoolwork, running to doctor appointments, managing medications, buying and preparing food, digging through mounds of laundry, all at the speed of light.   Daily maintenance and upkeep also fall into her once smooth hands, and the demands of the household press down like a vise.

Was their love just a fairy tale?

ID-10020386

 In the book, “What Did You Expect??”, Paul Tripp helps answer our question. “…real love doesn’t live only in these grand, affectionate moments.

No, real love lives at street level.  It lives when no violin is playing or bird is singing. It lives when life is busy, boring, or hard.

Real love doesn’t demand that life is easy or exciting.  Real love loves as much in the dark of the night as it does in the warmth of the sun.  Real love loves when love isn’t much fun and isn’t very fulfilling.  Real love doesn’t quit when things are hard and doesn’t check out in the face of disappointment.

So, there is no such thing as real love that does not require real, willing, and daily sacrifices. There is no way to escape it-real love is costly. Real love calls each of us to be willing to suffer.”*

Is your marriage surrounded with fairy tale expectations that daily disappoint you?  Or do you know that real life is more like a jungle than a kingdom?

Start today by really loving your spouse despite your surroundings.  Get rid of the fairy tale expectations that will only lead to disappointment.   Surround yourself with the truth of God’s word and pray for the strength to really love  your spouse  while navigating through the jungle.

 

If you are no longer married to your child’s father, it is very important to be respectful of him in front of your children.  Despite the hardships, what three positive things can you mention to your children about their dad?

What are three things that you love about your spouse? Find a creative way to express them to him today.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.  Galatians 6:9

Now, here’s today’s post by Tara Dovenbarger: 

LOOKS SAFE

Six legs dashed across the rust-colored lawn as cheerful voices rang through the fall air. Each boy paused briefly before hiking himself over the wooden fence that encircled the drowsy farm animals. Plopping down on the other side, each youngster shot out with open arms towards a different animal standing wide-eyed in shock nearby.

This was it! Time to enjoy all the farm life had to offer. Out of the rush of the city, surrounded by all these peaceful animals!  It was time for fun!

Little did they know what real danger they jumped into. 

 STRIKES WHEN YOU’RE UNAWARE

There was a four-year-old boy, however, still standing on the safe, opposite side of the fence.  Fear was painted across his face for the other boys because he did know the danger.  He lived here and had personally felt the stinging pain these other boys were ignorant of.  One unforeseen, painful blow by the stealthy strike of the innocent looking rooster is not easily forgotten.

SUBTLE BUT DEADLY STRATEGY 

Proverbs 22:3 tells us, “The prudent see danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.”  What danger is Satan drawing our families into while we relax, unaware?  Here are twelve subtle tactics used by the enemy to acquire victory in our family’s lives; he wants to:

  • Keep us busy with non-essentials.
  • Tempt us to overspend and go into debt.
  • Make us work long hours to maintain empty lifestyles.
  • Discourage us from spending family time, for when homes disintegrate there’s no refuge from work.
  • Over stimulate our minds with TV and computers so that we can’t hear God speaking to us.
  • Fill our coffee tables and nightstands with newspapers and magazines (Face-book)  so we have no time for Bible reading.
  • Flood our mailboxes with sweepstakes, promotions and get-rich-schemes; keep us chasing material things.
  • Put glamorous models on TV, magazine covers, and billboards to keep us focused on outward appearances; that way we will be dissatisfied with ourselves and our mates.
  • Make sure couples are too exhausted for physical intimacy; that way we will be tempted to look elsewhere.
  • Emphasize Santa and the Easter bunny; that way we will divert them from the real meaning of the holidays.
  • Involve our families in “good” causes so we won’t have time for “eternal” ones.
  • Make us self-sufficient.  Satan wants us so busy working in our own strength that we will never know the joy of God’s power working through us. *

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

We don’t have to be like the little boy on the outside of the fence who knew the sting through painful experience, or the ignorant children about to learn.  God’s word is our guide that opens our eyes up to the danger and provides us with safe, loving boundaries that protect us from needless pain born from sin.  Through the knowledge of God’s word we can know the dangers of this world and teach our children the same.

Psalm 119:105   Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.

2 Peter 1:2-3    Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Mom, are you guided by God’s word each day? Are you teaching your children or grandchildren about the hidden pain in sin?

The End of the World?

December 4, 2012 By

IT LOOKS REALLY, REALLY BAD

Once again we turn on the media and hear a new spin of an old tale, “This is it! The end of the world is here! The end of the Mayan calendar will abruptly bring all life to a sudden end!”   

SPECIAL, SECRET KNOWLEDGE

Can this prophecy known by the Mayans, media, and select scientists be trusted?  How do we comfort our children when they are hearing things that make our own stomach swim? Where can we find reliable, time proven truth to tell us exactly what the end looks like?

MAYAN PROPHECY VS BIBLICAL PROPHESY

According to Josh McDowell, there are 332 distinct prophecies in the Old Testament, all written down at least 250 years before Christ’s first coming, that were perfectly fulfilled.  Bible prophecies are proven.

David Jeremiah tells us that there are more than nine hundred prophecies in the Bible telling of the second coming of Jesus Christ (future events), three times as many compared to His first coming. We are confident these nine hundred will be fulfilled exactly as the others were.

THE FUTURE IS TOLD

God does not want us to be ignorant and living in fear. He gave us the complete history of life on our planet through His unchanging Word.  Have you ever calmed your children before entering a new situation by telling them step-by-step what will happen? Our Heavenly Father, not wanting us to be ignorant and living in fear, has  given us each step in history.

  • First we are given Genesis, which describes the literal creation and fall of man.  Because of man’s fall into sin, God promised us a Savior. These were the 332 prophecies speaking of Christ’s first coming,  perfectly fulfilled.  John 3:16, Isaiah 53
  • Second, and at present, believers are waiting for the rapture when Christ comes for His bride the church (although some Christians have different views as to whether the rapture occurs before, somewhere in the middle or after the tribulation).  No event stands  in the way for this event to happen….this will occur at any time!  The dead in Christ will rise first, and then the believers who are alive will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. This event, as you can imagine, will be a shock to those left behind. The non-believers will have their wish of complete separation of church and state…..the church will no longer be here….at all!  Those left behind will feel the chaos produced by so many people suddenly “missing”.  1Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1Corinthians 15:51-58
  • Third we have the seven-year tribulation that immediately follows the rapture of the church.  This is a time of unrestrained evil.  All Christians are removed and evil will flourish.  All the people on earth will want and need a powerful leader to return life to ‘normal” and will turn to the Antichrist for peace.  He will show up on the scene after the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation.  The Antichrist leads the world’s last battle against Israel in the Battle of Armageddon, which Christ’s Second Coming interrupts.  Revelation 6-9, Daniel 9:24-27, Matthew 24:15, Revelation 16:12-16
  • Fourth, is Christ’s return or Second Coming.  The Bible gives us more than 900 prophecies about this amazing event. David Jeremiah in The Prophecy Answer Book states, “Christ’s return will be amplified by a devastating spectacle that will make Hollywood disaster movies look like Saturday morning child’s fare.  The world will see and recognize its rightful Lord and King.  Whereas He came the first time in humility and simplicity (baby Jesus), this time His glory and majesty will be spectacularly displayed for all to see.” Revelation 19:11-21, Revelation 20:1-3 Matthew 25:31-46
  • Lastly, we are told of the 1,000-year Reign of Christ, then the New Heaven and New Earth. Eternity in heaven!  Revelation 20:1-6, 11-15; Revelation 21-22, Revelation 20:10,13-15, Matthew 25:41,46

DOOMSDAY OR RAPTURE?

The human race has always been given a choice.  Will we choose to follow the world into each Mayan doomsday type prophecy, or submit to God’s plan and be filled with ecstatic delight and peace as we await  the rapture of the Church?  (Look up the definition for rapture….it means “ecstatic delight!”)   Let’s pour confidence into our children that we serve an awesome God who is in complete control.

Revelation 22:20  “Yes, I (Jesus Christ) am coming quickly.”  Amen! Come, Lord Jesus.

Psalm 4:8 I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make we dwell in safety.

Dear mom, are you or your children living in fear? We pray you will point your family to the unchanging truth found in scripture to find peace.

Child with No Promise

October 17, 2012 By

The winner of Parenting from the Overflow by Teri Lynne Underwood are:

Christine DeSanti and Katy Carris

“Child with no promise,” was scribbled atop the orphanage file.  Born in Eastern Europe. Unwanted. Abandoned. Downs Syndrome.  Locked unnoticed behind a remote orphanage gate with no hope of release.

Meanwhile, a content family of four was flourishing on the other side of the world.  Their sole desire was to serve the Lord in anyway possible.

Then, El Roi, our mighty God Who Sees, the Father to the fatherless, who places the lonely in families; His mighty plan of redemption began to unfold….

Vashti Walters was scanning through Reece’s Rainbow on Facebook when she saw this picture with these words written underneath, “Dillon will be institutionalized soon if he is not adopted. Are you his forever family?”

 

 

 

 

Vashti’s heart melted at the thought of this little boy. It was love at first sight.  Her husband and two children were smitten as well. God was calling and the Walters family heeded the call.  This began their 7-month journey to James (his given name).

The body of Christ surrounded the Walter family with donations of time and money.   Prayers of the saints were lifted continually to bring this special boy into the arms of his forever family. God was faithful and James became the first child adopted from Russia with Down Syndrome.

Our Journey to James (YouTube video) - View this precious video of their journey.

“James is here to light up the world…like a bottle rocket!”

“I wish EVERY family could experience the blessings adoption brings.”

“A child with no promise is FLOURSHING in a family!”

“Just a moment in eternity. But it is eternal.”   -Vashti Walters

“This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes!” Psalms 118:23

How can you join in God’s exciting work to minister to orphans?

  • There are many families willing to adopt, but unable to because of finances. Consider donating to Reece’s Rainbow and be a real part of helping these kids get home. (Great Christmas gift idea!)
  • Become a local foster parent.
  • Pray that God will use you and your family to reach the orphans here or around the globe.
  • Support other foster/adoptive families by giving financially (gas/grocery card) or helping with your time.  A date night for the parents or babysitting for doctor appointments is a great blessing!
  • Consider starting a support group at your church for families that foster or adopt.

“Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these, even the least of them, you did it to Me.” Matthew 25:4

Has the Lord led you to adopt? Come share your story and encourage others with your journey!
