Juggling between family business and home

There has to be a balance. Taking care of the business is taking care of your husband but you do not have to choose between one or the other. Your job doesn't depict who you are. Remain humble inside especially towards your husband. It is a challenge but with God's grace, you can do this. He needs you. Being feminine has nothing to do with the outer appearance but the heart. And nobody can take that away from you.


This verse is for you:

Jeremiah 31:22

For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth— A woman shall encompass a man.”


Encompass means to protect.


I married my employee. My husband was working for me but God called us into a marriage. While I prayed for His will, God told me that if there should be any arguments that arise, it is my fault because of my pride. Because I was older (4 years), I had a master's degree while he only had a diploma (I have a doctorate now), I ran a company (he was my employee), I was better in English (it was his second language), I was from the city (he was from a regional area), my parents were pastors (his were leaders under my parent's leadership), etc. I had a thousand reasons to be prideful. 


There may come a time for you to step back but perhaps the time is not now. But if there is something slipping away inside you, that is not right either. Especially if it involves you missing your children because they're not going to be kids forever. I propose to bring your family into your business world rather than leave them at home. Have a place for your family in your office.

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

How to Fast the Right Way

First of all, motive. Fast to draw close to Him, and don't let anyone know that you're fasting. Matthew 6:16-18  For a Full Fast: Just tell them that you're taking some time off will be booked on those dates and can't be contacted during those periods.  Turn your phone on silent mode. It's basically only for emergencies, or else, don't answer at all. Lock yourself in your room. Matthew 6:6-7 Drink lots of water if you're going on a full fast. If you're living with others, only go out of the room to get more water. What you actually do: No work, no play, just fast and pray. And worship and Word and talk to Him and draw close to Him. And write down what He says. Do your devotion.

Lazy teens

A teen is not a kid anymore. Then again, boys mature about 3 years slower, so just take that into account.  When faced with lazy teens, we need to find out the root issue — is it a spirit of laziness? It has to be addressed. He needs to know that it is a spirit and not him. And that he has to fight it. And what happens when spirits like that are not warded off. And how they can ultimately possess a person when entertained and given into. If it’s not laziness, it is a lack of motivation. What do they really have in mind that is really bothering them or they are inspired about and work on that.
