crazy creep

Its been interesting, in "the book" that I have been learning such valued information, there are letters from wives who have lost their husbands, and every single one of those letters the women are pretty much begging and pleading with those sickly faced nagging wives, to relax! cherish their husbands love them and serve them...
I feel like I have become one of those ladies... I went with some friends today on a shampoo day! (SO FUN) but while we were in the car the other girl, I didnt know her well, was talking about how her and her man were going on a trip to vegas, she was saying how the drive would be SO long, and its SO hot there, and HIS family etc... I was just like, Hey! can I tell you something?

I told her that she has 4 amazing hours in the car with her man, to talk, laugh, sing with, be silly with, make memories with. she gets to go to vegas with him, to mealt TOGETHER in the heat. She gets to meet his family, regardless of what she has heard about them, she can make the absolute best of the situation, and no matter what she GETS to be with her man! I told her, dont ever take him for granted, dont complain over things that are so small, she is so lucky, I would give anything to be stuck in a car with him for 4 hours! I would give anything to do anything with him... or I went to dinner with a friend last night and her husband texted her asking her when she would be home, I was like, you can go now if you need... does he need anything while your out??? hhahahah im like a "treat your man good creep"... but really im seeing it now. its a reality for me. life is too short to live it away from the ONE that you love, its too short to take stupid miniscule things for granted, to get upset over small things, to not find joy in serving your man... its just TOO short...
another thing I have been learning is praying for our husbands, I mean im sure you do, but daily? how about multiple times a day? In "the book" she says that when ever she is at a red light, EVERY red light, she says a small prayer for her husband... think of something everyday that when it occurs you stop and pray for your man... when your making a meal, when you check the mail, when your going to the bathroom... hahah thats mine!!! : ) (it would be right?)

another note, you guys are right, I wouldnt have listen had I heard all of this before, I went into marriage thinking I had a pretty good idea of what it would be like, ummm...NO. It makes me realize I need to become more teachable in ALL circumstances of life...

so, keep praying, keep loving your man, appreciate him, encourage him and support him, "help meet his needs..."
