I really wanted to and had planned on attending, however, we live over an hour away and I was not yet prepared to go and I was quite tired. My plans were to take a nap before heading out for the celebration. When I realized I had no time to take a nap, my body was saying you need to stay home. I knew how important this was to Bryan, as it was one of his favorite cousin's. Although he let me off the hook by saying he understood I was not ready and would probably not make it, with the help of the Lord I pulled off a miracle. I called upon the Lord and asked what to do. I took a 20 minute power nap, got dressed and made it to meet him by 5:10 PM. As the Lord would have it, the dinner got pushed back to the original start time of 6:00 PM so we were able to be there for the full event.
I am still amazed at how the Lord orchestrated everything and responded to my call for help. I could not believe the energy I felt after such a short nap and that I was able to take a nap, get dressed and be out of the house within 50 minutes. Those who know me well, know a miracle was truly performed. I know Bryan was quite elated and shocked when I told him I was on my way.
Today I honored my husband with engagement because I knew how important it was for him to be there for his cousin's celebration. I honored him with engagement by showing up to support the event. I honored him because I knew how much he really wanted me to be there even though he gave me an out. I am so happy I called upon the Lord to help make it happen and I was able to be there. We had a great time and it was nice to see Bryan enjoying himself amongst family.
Wives of the world, how do you honor your husband through engagement? In what ways do you engage yourself in activities for him even when it may be a stretch to make it happen? Please share your story with us so we can learn from you.
Blessings,
Rochelle
