Old Habits Die Hard

Ephesians 4:26 "In your anger, do not sin"  (NIV)  The verse rolls in my mind almost every time without fail.  A pleasant reminder whispering, keeping me straight.  Not every time I hear the words do I obey, though I'm working on it.  As I have said earlier, this week has been trying on our faith.  We are treading the waters, the current is strong, and yet our heads remind above.  God is good. 
Again, I have forgotten my extra project, and I will check it again to help me through.  I have not failed the project,  merely have I not done my homework.  I have wanted so badly to remind my husband we are in this mess because of him.  Blaming is so easy.  What I have done; however, is remind my husband to spend time in God's word.  I have supported him the way I am called.  The rewards are great.  Proverbs 15:1 says, "A gentle answers turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."  (NIV)  Before this blogject, I had my own pot of anger to stir.  I enjoyed it.  I would find a strange comfort in my anger.  Now, God has opened the pantry to my heart, and helped me make a new pot.  A pot full of love and support for my husband.  Witnessing his changing heart is amazing.  God is good.
My husband is very unsure of his new direction.  Like a child walking into a dark room, cautious and careful he opens his Bible.  I don't know whether he prays before he reads, or if God leads him directly as he opens.  I do know, when he is done, he has found exactly what he was after.  Again like a child, proud of his accomplishment, he beams and feels suddenly refreshed.    Head high, chest out, arms strengthened, he is ready to endure the waves.  God is good.

One Good Thing My Husband Did:  He did not pick at me when I was frustrated with him.
