Confessional Friday

It has been a while since I had a friday off so I thought today I would come back with Confessional Friday, Leslie our host is very sick and needs a lot of prayer so she can come back to blogging, we all miss her so much

Today I am confessing..

1) I cannot wait for 5 pm, it is the Ladies Retreat weekend, I cannot wait to spend time with my favourite ladies, eat delicious food, laugh a lot, drink coffee/tea ( starbucks right in the venue), stay up late, get up early and do it all over again.

2) I need to do some major house cleaning today but so far, I got winter packed away, dunno how much more I will do, I need to get my clothes ready for the weekend etc.

3) It is so nice to be in spring type temperatures, we had a long hard winter and I am glad it is done.

That about does it for me, whats on your schedule for this weekend?

Wife Talk - 10 Signs you may be headed for marriage problems

I don't believe anyone ever goes looking to have an affair. Instead, affairs happen over time when we let our guard down and quit focusing on our marriages. One of the best things you can do to keep your marriage strong is to pay attention to the signs that your relationship is headed in the wrong direction. So here are ten early warning signs someone may be headed for an affair... 

1) If you have an "It'll never happen to us" attitude. Don't EVER let your guard down. 

2) If you confide in someone of the opposite sex about your marriage problems. 

3) If you neglect your marriage and no longer try to meet your spouse's needs. 

4) If you are not doing regular check-ups with your spouse asking, "How are we doing?" 

5) If you are not being proactive in the growth of your marriage. 

6) If you focus all your energy and attention on your children and not your marriage. 

7) If you are locking your phone from your spouse, or deleting texts or Facebook messages so your spouse won't see them. 

8) If you find yourself dressing up and paying more attention to your appearance in hopes that "they" will notice you. 

9) If you are keeping secrets or hiding things from your spouse about a friendship you have with someone of the opposite sex. 

10) If there has been a huge drop off in intimacy or none at all.

Pornography and Marriage

9 REASONS WHY PORN WILL RUIN YOUR MARRIAGE 

1. Porn gives a very unrealistic view of the female body and causes unfair comparisons. 

2. Porn gives an unrealistic view and unreal expectations of sex. 

...

3. Things like love, respect, intimacy and commitment aren’t found in pornography. 
4. Porn causes lust to take place in the heart (Matthew 5:28). It's cheating ... emotional cheating. 
5. Porn is addictive. 
6. Porn causes people to no longer see their spouse as a person or partner, but as a sexual object. 
7. Porn breaks trust. 
8. Porn destroys intimacy. 
9. Pornography NEVER satisfies, it always leaves you wanting more. 

Simply put, pornography will ruin your marriage. It has destroyed FAR more marriages than it’s helped. Pornography will drive you apart from your spouse rather than bring you closer together. Instead of pursuing porn pursue your spouse. Instead of being addicted to porn be addicted to your spouse (Proverbs 5:18-19).

Weekend Recap

Friday: My girlie was out of school so I thought i'd take the day off too, I work for a really great company have I mentioned that ;) 

We slept in late, I cleaned the house, she had sprained her ankle so we couldn't do what I had planned to do with her, I thought maybe a girlie day at the mall with a pedicure and a movie but we couldn't do it. 

After I cleaned, I worked on sewing her costume, they have a drama coming up in a few weeks and I had to sew her costume, call me lucky. 

I had agreed to babysit for a friend a few days back, her hubby planned the entire thing and here I sit writing this, her little guy is in bed

It is nice to have some peace and quiet. 

Saturday:

Slept in a bit, got ready and went to town with my hubby to get me some new clothes

I needed a couple pieces of summer clothing, so I got some brighter colours, that black and white striped is actually green and white, nice for spring, not sure why the colour is black on here. 

We got groceries and then went to the venue for the CD launch of our Pastor, you can find him on iTunes ( Matt Linton), we had a great time.. so sad that they are leaving but wish them all the best. 

Boston Bruins ended their hockey season tonight as well, they are all done, they did not make the play off's, sad night to be a Bruins fan. 

Now it is time to cheer for the New York Rangers :) 

Sunday:

Church begins early to set up as we do not have building so we use a community centre. 

After morning service we were all getting ready to leave when hubby came back in side to get our pastor, one of the older guys was feeling confused, thankfully our nurse was there  and she jumped right into action, come to find out he was having a stroke, we took him to the hospital, they admitted him and running some further tests. 

Once my nurse friend was done, she met us at swiss chalet for lunch, it was so good. for dessert I had their fudge cake, I have never tasted anything so good. I love desserts..... so much, even to much 

( i did not get this weight by eating healthy)

Brooke wanted to buy a birthday present for her sunday school/youth leader, she is turning 30, so we bought her 30 items for her 30th birthday. 

Sunday night service brought a wonderful surprise- a old friend came to speak and brought his wife and family, it was so nice to see her. 

Now a new week is about to begin :) 

Have the best week <3
