Wise Women Obey the Lord (and learn to NOT breathe through their nose while learning to SCUBA)

This week we're reading the chapter called "Wise Women Obey God". It seems simple enough for me to take in. I think, "Ok. Cool. I do that." And I do, but I've definitely learned in the last few years that what God desires and where I sit are two very different things.

Tying this all into my Countdown class, this week we were learning about submitting to our husbands and how he is the head of the home and we are helpers. This doesn't mean anywhere that I am less of a person, or that I am less valuable, it just means that as a wife, I am called to let Josh lead. Before we left, we were reading scripture and going over things and I asked Josh:

"Do I do a good job of learning to submit."

And Josh, sweet Josh. Josh who always tries to make me feel good, never says a rude thing to me, replies:

"I think you pick and choose. But sometimes, you bow your neck and just refuse because you want to be in control and don't want to be wrong."

Ouch.

So, I'm hanging out in Ephesians for a couple days to see what I can learn about why submission works. Because if I am a wise woman, I will want to obey the Lord, who is in fact, telling me to submit to my husband. Thankfully, I have every confidence that Josh will be a wonderful leader. (Besides... if you hear the husbands role... dude. I totally love that I don't have to make the decisions he does.)

Big Week.

This morning in scuba I learned that breathing with your nose while underwater is NOT a good thing. I'm trying to like scuba, I want to like scuba, but I get very uncomfortable in the water and I feel like I'm going to suffocate. I need to have guts like this kid and I think I would do much better. I don't think Heather would mind a trade off of mine and Hayden's bravery for an afternoon, either!

Fun stuff tonight, I'm hanging out with Josh, a groomsman, and a new friend of Josh's named Majid. I'm really excited. So excited that I'm making Tater Tot Casserole, salad, and cupcakes! Woo! We're gonna all just hang out, watch movies, play Wii, and get to know Majid. Yay, I love new people!
