30-day challenge on speaking life and not death.

[stephanie559]

This month we have a challenge on focusing on the strengths of our spouse. After marriage fellowship at our church, our pastor had challenge us for the month of June that we need to focus on the strengths that our spouse brings into our marriage. The spouses are suppose to go home and write down all their strength and encourage each other instead of focusing on their weakness. We need to speak life to our spouse and not death.

And, I have to admit that I did speak death for a minute to my spouse about a situation that we were in. I had to go and repent to God and seek the forgiveness of my husband. However, I am usually the encourager but this time I was not.

So, for the month of June I have decided to blog about my journey of speaking life to my husband. I want us to get to that point in our marriage were we are growing and maturing and accepting each other the way that God has created us.

My husband and I have an awesome marriage, but there is always room for improvements. So, we have accepted this challenge to broaden ourselves not only marriage but also to broaden our spiritual life with God.  So, til next time.

My pastor actually preached about that scripture yesterday! There is death and life in our words! Way to go for choosing to speak life. I chose to speak life as well.
