Welcome

This site has been created to give us an opportunity to journey together through this thing called "Christian Living." My hope is that my transparency will spur you on, encourage you, and unite us in our efforts to become more like Christ. Please see this as an open dialog -- share your ideas, add your own post, and comment at will. I thank you in advance for morphing with me! -- Erin

ps - it is also a place for me to shamelessly brag about my children (consider it a multi-purpose blog!) :)

Week 3: Marriage & Singleness

NOTE: DO YOUR BEST TO COMPLETE HERITAGE PAGES BEFORE NEXT THURSDAY SO YOU DON'T FALL BEHIND!!

Keep in mind as you go over the prompts below that you don't have to answer all the questions, but you can do more than one layout. I suggest focusing on one or two key topics. For example: One layout for our "how we met" story - with a strong emphasis on the ways God worked in that regard. One layout for the struggles/victories. Next week we will focus on children. For those of you who are single - you can focus on singleness this week, and your legacy next week. (See prompts below)

MARRIAGE
1. Recall your Love Story: courtship, engagement & wedding. Share how God brought you together, lessons learned, things you want for your own children and grandchildren as they look to find a mate, etc. Record how God and His word have changed your perspectives in this area.

2. What are some of your marriage struggles and victories? Special Anniversaries?

SINGLENESS
1. Explore your response to your singleness – joy, peace, turmoil, lonliness, or what have you. How do you approach dating and how does your faith play a role in this aspect of your life? Explore both the positive things about being single and the negative.


2. What are some of your struggles and victories in dating/singleness?


ALL
Focus on Proverbs 31 and journal about an area(s) you have seen growth in and an area(s) where God wants to grow you as a wife and mother or home manager (note most of the ideas presented in this chapter are applicable to singles with no kids).


I will chime in later this week with some Scripture and quotes to help inspire you. Happy Faithbooking!
