A New Husband

So yesterday I cleaned my apartment with my mom. We were just cleaning and listening to music and she asked me if I was ready for my new husband and my new marriage. I hadn't really thought about it like that. Things are going to be different, but everything will be new. I am a different person and I know my husband is a different person and it just leads to the fact that our marriage is going to be different. We are going to be new. I new husband. I new wife. A new marriage.

When my mom asked me that and I started thinking about it, I began to get really excited. Unfortunately, we started our marriage with God in the center, but we quickly pushed him aside. I guess I knew that we were doing that, but I felt powerless to stop it. Plus, I really wasn't wanting God at the time. A lot of history with church lead both me and my husband to have a bad attitude towards church and Christians. We thought they were hypocrites and we hated the atmosphere of church. So, basically our entire marriage we were ignoring God and not letting him into our relationship. We were doing things on our own for ourselves. That was not good and God needed us to wake up. Well God, I am awake now! And I pray that you would wake my husband up too and fast!

I have not had a spirit-filled marriage nor have I been married to a spirit-filled man and he hasn't been married to a spirit-filled woman. To think of how differently things are going to be once my husband comes back and is ready to work on our marriage, the possibilities are limitless. To have God back in our lives and in our marriage is going to be amazing. To pray with my husband and to read the Bible together is a very exciting thought. Our marriage is going to be different, but not because of what my husband has done, but because God is going to be back in the center where he should have always been.

Thinking of how my husband is going to be my new husband, I thought of 2 Corinthians 5:17 and it says "Anyone who believes in Christ is a new creation. The old is gone! The new has come!" Isn't that awesome? Even God says the my husband is going to be new. No more old, but new and better. I pray that my husband would begin to see and feel this. That with God, everything is new and that is what he wants!
