Day One-My wife and I together
Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2009 11:05 am
Today my wife and I began the 14 day program, together! While we had both read this before separately, we have now decided to go through the study next to one another. It's been very effective for me because I see things the way I see them, but she sees things in her way, too. She gives a fresh viewpoint.
Like today, for example. We read Matthew 18:19-20, and it said that if we agree on any thing that Jesus is there in our midst and we can ask for anything and it will be given by our Father in Heaven. When I read that I think, "Wow, how awesome is that? Look at the power that we have, and Jesus is right there with us. It gives me goosebumps!" But when I told my lovely wife this, she said it gives her goosebumps because it made her think of all the needs in this world and how little we pray for them with the power that we have available. Wasn't that awesome? Such a tender heart she has.
Well, here we stand; stepping stone #1. Looking forward to the next tomorrow. I don't know that we have a "problem" like the study says, but we do have a yearning to get closer to Him, and I think this is a great way to accomplish that; problem or not.
