stay out ofthe way

I love my husband so much and it pains me to see him make decisions that are contrary to the way we want to live.  As Paul says I want one thing but I do the other.  Ok, I want to do good but I inherently screw up.  Well I have seen so much growth spiritually in my husband over the years and if there is one thing that is consistent with that growth it's that I stay out if the way.  I pray with, over, and for him but desperately try not to suggest what he needs to do.

Last October he got baptized and instantly I could see the attack that was on him. I tried to insist but he didn't see it and I tried to talk of spiritual matters that he didn't see/feel yet.  So I stopped, it seems that the more I press and event speek of spiritual things the farther he gets. But today he went up for prayer on his own without my suggesting or really understanding what was going on.  He was asking for prayer over his spiritual dedication.

Pastor Mike Johnson had been talking about renewing that new Christian "smell" renewing that passion we once had for him.  I didn't even know that that would hit him, all I did was pray the spirit would speak to him, touch him lift him up during our worship time.  Guess it took hold.  He is without a doubt the most amazing man I have or will ever know.  That I am sure of.
