My Fellow Sippers,
Recently the Lord has laid upon my heart to incorporate a segment known as "The Godly Wife" and use the authorship of my dear sister in Christ Mrs. Tanesha Lester. Tanesha is the leader of our Godly Wife group, which has been such a blessing to me as a soon to be wife (51 days away...YIKES!). I can go on and on about how God is using her, but I'll let you find out for yourself. Without further adieu, I present to you the Confessions of a Godly Wife.
Confessions of a Godly Wife: My Testimony
By: Tanesha Lester
My relationship with God became even stronger after I was married. I
have always had a relationship with God, but I just kept failing at it. I
didn't put as much effort into it. I made excuses to not go to church. I
didn't study the Word, I just read it. God was blessing me tremendously
and what was I giving him in return?
Once we moved and my internship was over, I found myself without a job. I
became depressed and began to question God. Long story short, I was
broken. I have never been so low in my life. I kept reading my bible and
praying, but I also kept contradicting it. I wasn't believing what I
was reading. I knew I couldn't go on like that and that God had
something in store for me so one day I just cried out for Him. I poured
my heart out to Him with hopes that He'd hear my cry. I began a
consecration with my church for the new year and begin studying my bible
and praying more. On the 9th day of January, God blessed me with a job.
I couldn't stop thanking Him. I decreed and declared increase and He
blessed me. To those of you who may be suffering or broken, just know
that God has something in store for you. 1 Peter 5:10
says "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace,
who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will Himself,
restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. Sometimes we need to be
broke down to truly experience God's love. Being unemployed may not
seem like a big deal, but to me, being unemployed made me feel lost. It
was definitely a humbling experience and it made me realize just how
much I value working or making money. You don't have to necessarily bow
down to something in order to worship it. God will tear apart what He is
not involved in. Everything I have is because of Him and I was too
selfish to see that before. I thank God for that experience because it
helped me to grow and become closer to him and my husband.
Right now, I challenge you to cry out to Him. Just begin to pour your heart out to Him. He's waiting for you.

The King's Daughter
