Gentle Words {Grace & Truth linkup}

Gentle words.

It’s such a pleasure to talk with someone who seems to exude gentleness - from the way they look, to the way they carry themselves, to the way they speak.

Gentle words are something I struggle with. I tend to say what’s on my mind, not often thinking about how it may impact someone else.

This week’s featured post was such an encouragement to me.

“I cannot do this on my own. On my own I can be depended on to be defensive, to prove a point, to want to be accepted or acknowledged. On my own I will stir up wrath – both in myself and in others!”

Belinda’s post rang so true for me. But I love the one thing she recommends when she knows that a stressful situation will be coming - one in which we are likely to let our words fly, rather than choose them with care.

Hop over to read the entire post and glean from Belinda’s wisdom. Thank you for sharing with us, Belinda!

Giving Up in Marriage: What You Really Lose

“I quit.”

You’ve probably heard it, and you’ve likely even said it. So have I. None of us are alone in feeling frustrated and overwhelmed with life sometimes.

Recently I shared about how so many people tend to give up on their marriage. For some, it’s a quick choice - it’s not convenient anymore, so they’re gone. For others, it’s a choice that takes a little more time. The grass seems greener with someone else, or they can look at the faults and wrongdoings of their spouse and decide it’s time to move on.

* * * * * * *

Please note: This post is *not* written for those who struggle through abusive relationships.
Sometimes there are situations where you need to get yourself to safety.
You need to find healing and wholeness outside of the home because it’s no longer safe there.
If you find yourself in that spot, please know that
I support you getting the help you need in a safe environment,
which may very well mean leaving your home and your marriage.

* * * * * * *

Where is our commitment to fighting for our marriage? Where is that resolve that we once had to stand strong, and keep standing, no matter what?

What do we really lose, or forfeit, if we give up?

Giving Up - what you really lose and why you should keep on fighting

I hadn’t thought about it this way until a friend shared thoughts on Facebook. I love that kind of interaction because collectively, we have a lot more wisdom than any one of us on our own.

In John 11, we read the story of Lazarus’ death:

Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”

When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days….
John 11:1-6

The passage goes on to say that by the time Jesus arrived at their house, Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days. Martha talked to Jesus probably as any of us would, saying the things on her heart.

“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
John 11:21

She expressed what I read as her frustration. “If you’d been here….” She follows it up with her belief in Jesus.

But as the conversation continues, she really expresses her unbelief, her lack of understanding.

To summarize, so far:

Lazarus got sick.
Mary and Martha sent word to Jesus in hopes that He would come heal Lazarus.
Jesus did not come to them right away.
Lazarus died.
Martha expressed frustration (or maybe doubt, or even bewilderment) that Jesus didn’t respond like they thought He should.
They expected he was dead until the second coming.

In the context of the recent post I shared, we talk about continuing to fight for our marriages.

Here’s what my friend shared, that really got me thinking:

Mary and Martha gave up on Lazarus.

Yes, they were siblings. Their relationship is not a marriage relationship.

But, let’s dig deeper.

Lazarus was sick, Mary and Martha sent for help, and when Jesus did not come, and did not respond in the way they thought He should, they gave up on the hope of having their brother with them again.

And that’s where it all came together for me.

Here’s a man who was dead. Dead, dead. He wasn’t just asleep, he was dead.

They had wrapped him in linen.

Martha complained because Lazarus had died, and now she was complaining about the stench that would come if they rolled the stone away.

Jesus was preparing to raise her brother from the dead,
and she was complaining about that, too,
because she had given up!

Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
John 11:40

They rolled the stone away, Jesus prayed, and He called to Lazarus in a loud voice to come out of that tomb!

And out walked Lazarus, after 4 days of being buried according to the customs and rituals of the time, having been completely dead.

{Probably as dead as many marriages are these days.}

Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
John 11:44b

Martha and Mary had given up on the hope of life.

Maybe you’ve given up on the hope of life in your marriage.

Maybe your marriage is already dead. Dead dead.

My God is a God of miracles. He raises the dead.

He raised Lazarus, who was so dead that they were concerned about the odor from his death!

Perhaps your spouse has packed up, moved out, filed for divorce, maybe the divorce is even final. You may have reached the point of saying, “That’s it. It’s done. I quit.”

You’ve given up.

If God says to fight for your marriage, you’d better fight!

You’d better storm heaven’s doors on behalf of your spouse, your marriage, and whatever God lays on your heart.

If you give up on your marriage, what you are actually giving up, forfeiting, is the power of God to work in your marriage.

That’s not to say He won’t work anyway, but you are telling God, “No thank you. This is over. It’s finished. It’s dead. You can’t help.”

And along comes someone like my friend to say that Martha and Mary gave up on Lazarus. They stopped fighting on his behalf. They accused, rather than asked for help.

When Jesus finally arrived in town, they didn’t ask for help. Yes, Martha said that Jesus was the Son of God, and that God would give Him what He asked for, but then she complained about the stench that would come if they rolled the stone away.

Friends, we don’t get to decide HOW God works.

If God has told you to fight, though, you’d better fight.

It might not make an ounce of sense to anyone but you. God sees your faithfulness, though. God knows what He has called you to. God is the only one who can work in death to bring life.

I don’t know where you are on your marriage journey. Maybe your marriage is healthy - praise the Lord! Maybe you have to work very hard at it, but your marriage is surviving. Praise the Lord! Keep working. Pursue God first, and then your spouse, with all your heart!

Maybe you’re considering giving up. Maybe your spouse is. Your marriage isn’t dead but it’s really quite sick.

Perhaps your marriage is already dead by earthly standards. You hold those divorce papers and you have to abide by a ruling that says it’s finished.

Friend, if God says to wait, if He is telling you to hold on, if He is not freeing you from that relationship, these words are for you.

Fight. Keep fighting. Pray. Keep praying.
Don’t listen to everyone who says, “Just let it go.”
Find people who are going to understand.
Find people who will pray with you.
Surround yourself with people who understand
your commitment to marriage for the long haul,
even when it seems to be already dead.

Don’t forfeit God’s power by giving up. Don’t quit before you have a chance to see what God will do in your heart and your spouse’s.

Recent news has been full of negativity with regards to marriage. The example of Christian marriage has been severely tarnished and dragged through the mud.

The enemy would love nothing more than to see people give up, en masse, on the idea of marriage.

And here I am, trying to stick it out. God hasn’t freed me from my marriage.

In fact, God has been saying just one word to me this year: Redemption.

God is the author of life. He is also the only one who has the final say on death. Hebrews 12:2 refers to Him as “the author and perfecter of our faith.”

Marriage is a covenant relationship, whether or not our society chooses to view it that way. It is a covenant with our spouse, and also with God. He is at the beginning of that covenant, and He will be at the end of it.

Therefore, if God is not letting you out of that covenant, you keep on fighting. Keep on listening to Him, no matter what.

If you need resources, let me know, I can try to find things that will help you.

Don’t give up. Keep fighting. Keep praying.

We serve a God who can raise the dead! I believe it, do you?

This Parenting Game Could Change Your World

This week I’m sharing a post whose idea (shared in the title) grabbed me; I was interested in reading about it. About halfway through, I thought, “This post is nice; I might share it this week. Sounds fun.” I stepped away from reading to help my kids with something. About 20 minutes later I came back, glanced at what I’d read, to get the context, and I finished the post.

By the time I finished the post, I had the CHILLS! …the GOOD kind!

The way she brought this post full-circle…and to think, I wanted to share it with you after only reading half of it!

What if everyone had a chance to play this game?

What if we stopped categorizing kids of all ages as “bad” or “good”. What if we saw each other as God does… either “dead” or “alive”, instead.

What if we rolled doubles of grace for truth in our homes, schools, and streets so that more kids of all ages could feel known and wanted… whether dead or alive?

Friends, go - just go! Jump over and read Karen’s post. Read the whole thing! She crafted this post in such a beautiful way that by the end, you will realize what a dramatic effect this simple idea can have. I’ll admit - I didn’t see the end coming. I was fully on board by the middle of the post.

But read to the end. Read all the way to the end.

This week’s featured post is “The Parenting Game That Could Change the World“.

Go.

Thank you, Karen. I pray your post gets in front of all the eyes - and hearts - that need to see it!

When Did it Become a Bad Thing to Fight For Your Marriage?

We’ve probably all heard the latest news about yet another Christian man, a religious figure, who said and did all the right things in public while hiding a laundry list of wrong-doings. In this media-filled age, it’s hard to avoid the situations like Josh Duggar’s.

I hope it broke your heart. I know it broke mine.

Yes, I hate what he did. I can’t stand how he’s dragging his family through the mud, providing plenty of fodder for those who want to be critical of marriage, family, Christians, Jesus.

His wife, kids, family and extended family have endured yet another devastating blow because of his choices.

And no matter how much they may try to avoid the feelings, because it was his choice, not their choice, I know that shame is very real to them.

I have shared posts about issues in marriage:
The Day I Took My Ring Off
I Stand for Redemption
To the Wife Who Wants to Stay
Pray for Reconciliation

This situation really should break your heart.

And it should make you mad.

There’s plenty of blame to be shared, and to pass around, in situations like this. I don’t want to go there. You can read that at any number of websites right now.

I want to talk about the marriage.

There’s a wife out there who has kids at home, who has been unwillingly dragged into the spotlight, and who can probably barely breathe right now. It’s not her fault, and yet she now has to continue to function and care for her kids, when she would rather hide away. The weight of this situation must be so very real to her, and yet, she has to keep going on.

There are plenty who would say “leave him” and there are some who may say “stay”. That’s between God and her.

Her situation aside, this is what really gets me:

When did it become such a bad thing to fight for your marriage?

When did “for better or worse” turn into “for better or while it’s convenient”?

And, who are we to judge if someone is wrong for wanting to work on their marriage?
for wanting to stand by their spouse?
for wanting to see them get the help they so desperately need?

When did it become a bad thing to fight for your marriage?

Maybe what the world really needs right now is for strong marriages to come alongside struggling marriages and lend a hand.

Roll up the sleeves and really get into the nitty-gritty of being supportive. Not just dropping off a meal or saying one prayer, but being there for the long haul.

The other night I shared this with some friends who are also bloggers:
(edited slightly for grammar and privacy)

Watch out…I’m back…and I’m FURIOUS.
Another friend messaged me tonight with marital issues. Let me just say, for those of you who are newer…my marriage almost ended 2 years ago. I’m positive that the devil thought he’d succeeded in splitting us up. And God said wait. Then God said “hope.” And now God is saying “redemption.” So when I hear of marriages that are struggling and failing, I get so mad - mad at the devil for stirring up trouble.

I have an ongoing list of friends whose marriages are struggling and I’m praying through those. One is improving, another friend is going through the divorce process (though not her choice) and I hear regularly through the blog of people who summon up enough bravery to send one email to say, “Please pray for me, too. My marriage is rocky.”

How do you encourage when everything seems stacked up AGAINST marriage in our society? How do you be the voice that says, “Keep going.”

I feel like I’m over here on the sidelines of these ladies’ lives saying, “Keep going,” but I’m being drowned out by the realities of life.

But I’m still here. Except I’m not saying, “Keep going,” I’m starting to shout it: “KEEP GOING!”

I read a post one time about a lady running a marathon. She said she saw someone with a sign that said, “Someday you won’t be able to do this again. (meaning, the marathon) But today is NOT THAT DAY.”

This infuriates me - the attacks on marriage. Please pray for your readers, your friends, your married friends, those who want to get married. Marriage is NOT for the faint of heart. It really is more about our holiness than our happiness.

I am praying for each one of you and your husbands tonight.

Someday we won’t be able to fight for our marriages anymore.

Maybe a spouse has filed for divorce, moved out, and fighting for your marriage just isn’t an option anymore.
Maybe a spouse has passed away and you’re simply out of time to fight for that marriage.

Today, though, this particular day, if you are still legally married and your spouse is alive, you can fight for your marriage.

Or - if your marriage is strong, if you are doing well together, you could make today the day that you, as a couple, roll up your sleeves and invest in the lives of another couple.

I read this the other day (sorry I cannot remember where):

One random act of kindness per day can change 365 lives!

Maybe you can’t change 365 marriages.

What if you could change one?

Notice I’m not saying “save” a marriage. I’m saying “change” a marriage because you might not be able to save a marriage. Everyone has their own free will to make their own choices, good or bad.

But what if you could invest in one marriage in the hopes that it would turn out just a little better than the one we’re reading about in the news right now?

Wouldn’t it be worth it?

There may come a day when you can’t invest in a marriage. If you are breathing, then today is not that day.

There may come a day when you can't fight for your marriage. Today is NOT that day! Click To Tweet

If we all start focusing on God rather than on self, if we can dare to put someone else’s needs above our own, we can make a huge difference.

Yes, we all make our own choices, right or wrong. Sin is ugly, but it looks enticing. We think that we can get away with our wrong choices. We think we can manage on our own.

We found out, from a very public figure, that it just isn’t the case.

And it should break our hearts.

Now, what will we do about it?

3 Ways to Strengthen Your Trust in God

Trusting God - the concept is an easy one, particularly because He is God and has our best interest at heart. We aren’t promised a life of ease, though, so how do you trust God when those storms of life really start rolling in?

The truth in my life seems to be that trusting God is an easy concept when things are running smoothly. It’s very easy to see the goodness of God when I can see the goodness in my life - when my children are getting along, when the bills are paid, when my marriage seems secure.

But life doesn’t always run that smoothly.

In my life there have been some pretty major issues that I’ve had to deal with:
*My son has special needs and struggles with various aspects of life
*Finances have been a huge problem at various times
*My marriage has gone through some severe problems

We talk about “the hits” that life hands out. I think that’s a very good way to express the way we feel when we encounter those problems, because a lot of times we aren’t just dealing with earthly issues; we are struggling with a very powerful enemy who would love nothing better than to knock us down and take us out of the fight.

Trusting God has become a very real issue in my life. I’ve had to rethink my approach to actively trusting God because those hits from the enemy sure do hurt!

They have pushed me to a point of having to truly trust God - or not trust God.

So - just how do you trust God and yet keep standing up to the enemy?

I’m sharing 3 ways to strengthen your trust in God
and keep standing in the storms of life,
over at Starla’s place today.

3 Ways to Strengthen Your Trust in God

Homecoming

I am always Mom first and foremost, and I imagine many of you feel the same way.

My son has been away for almost a month at a music camp in New York state. We’ve traveled to visit him each weekend, and this is his final weekend there, which means that in just a few days he will be back under our roof.

This week I’ve been busy getting things together for the start of the school year, which has somehow crept up on us way too quickly. I’ve also been preparing for him to transition back home - trying to make sure he’s coming home to a tidy bedroom, clean and comfy sheets, and cabinets full of food he likes (although camp food was apparently pretty good)!

We’re all so excited to have him coming back home and I know we’ll be hearing about this experience for weeks to come!

That’s what I’ve been up to this week, which has prevented me from getting a featured post chosen - sorry!

Now it’s your turn to share some of your experiences with us here. I am grateful that we have this space where you can share your heart. It’s like a homecoming each week. I see many of you interacting online and it’s such a blessing to know that you’re connecting!

Repurposing Life {Grace & Truth}

“It’s amazing how you can get so far from where you had planned,
and yet find it was exactly where you needed to be.”

This quote drew me in to Christi’s post this week, and she explains why it will attract you as well. As I read through her words - falling apart, repurposing, falling right into place, old made new - I was eager to keep reading. I knew where my mind wanted the post to go, yet her beautiful descriptions, her story illustrations, all made the final point that much more sweet.

Life is one big repurposing act. You’ve had that experience, I’m sure…you’ve somehow landed where you didn’t ever intend to be. In that moment you’re faced with the choice to accept the rubble, the mess you’re in, as ugly and filthy, or determine to take that mess and work it into something beautiful that honors the memory of the mess, but shows just what can be done with a little work.

And, ultimately, isn’t that what Jesus does with our lives?

I found a quote on Pinterest this week that I’ve shared around a bit. The words are simple:

“My life is a story about who God is
and what He does in a human heart.”

God does the ultimate repurposing. He takes our mess - our filth, our ugly messes that we’re so good at creating - and He takes them (as soon as we’re willing to hand them over…) and He begins a work in our lives that takes that ugly mess and turns it into a true masterpiece!

Jump over to read Christi’s beautiful thoughts on repurposing life. Thank you for sharing with us, Christi!
