Life In General

Today we live in a world which is very busy. The things that mean most to us seem to be put on the back burner to adhere to our obligations. Children have way too much homework it’s almost impossible to even study and spend time as a family. I’ve seen husbands and wives loose their connection because they hardly spend time together not because they don’t love each other, but they have been so busy when they finally get home and have dinner they are tired.  Life at times seems like you have to pencil in family time and not to mention that so important sweet time alone.

Making Glenn and my relationship work we found that Date Night is a must. We have been parents for a long time not only to our own, but to foster children, family’s children and well just some that take residence here. We fell into that so busy trap until I noticed I needed my husbands time alone. We began going out for coffee, then Saturday morning breakfast then on to Dinner at the beach which we love.  Now, that the children are older we are able to leave for a overnight trip. Still have not done the whole weekend because we miss our children so much, but we are moving into that area next. Being alone with him just talking and yes we still hold hands we find a calmness about us. We laugh and joke like in our beginning. I love that. I love to see him smile and those crows feet glassine around his eyes. It makes my heart feel right.

Why this blog?  To remind you and encourage you to go out with your sweetheart and enjoy each other. Get a sitter, do something and take in all

Date Night Required

Enjoy Each Other

that sweet tension (the good stuff) you once had or at least use to have.  

Until next time ~ Bonnie

Wedding Officiant – Allow Me To Be Part Of Your Story

Allow me to be part of your story. I can help pull it all together.

Allow me to be part of your story. I can help pull it all together.

 

Weddings are one of the most special days of our lives, but too it can be the most stressful. As an experienced Wedding Officiant I can help pull it all together.  That one day should be peaceful, loving and yes emotional, but not hysterical due to the unexpected things that can and do sometimes come up.  That is why it is so important to have someone there to help when your Wedding Planner is putting out other fires.

Mother Rather in Blood or Law

Have a blessed Mother’s Day. Rather you had a wonderful mother or one who lacked the love and care you should have received, maybe yours abused you or allowed someone else to,  you are a gift to this world and hopefully through all your experiences you learned to be a gift to your children.  If you do not have your own children or maybe they are with Jesus know that this world is in such need of mothers. It doesn’t matter if you give birth to a child or not even if the child lives with you being a mother comes from the heart not just blood or by law.  Be a blessing to a child who needs guidance and support the best way you can.  We all need love and that is at every age, so be the person to give what you did not get.  Know that I am praying for each and every person who reads my blogs each and everyday. There are people in the world whom you have never seen praying for you today.

Love Your Wife According To The Bible

How to Love Your Wife According to the Bible

So did you know that there are Biblical commands for husbands? Husbands have responsibilities to love and honor their wives. Would you like to be a husband who loves his wife as Christ loved the Church…

 I hope you enjoy this article. We all want true love in life right?  The truest love of all is Christ love for us, but finding that special someone to unite your life with can be difficult to say the least, but once you do loving them, treating them as if they are the most expensive, important and fragile thing you own is so important. We are a gift to each other so everyday should be a celebration of love.

Steps

  1. Love Your Wife According to the Bible Step 1.jpg
    1

    “Love your wife as Christ loved the Church.“(Ephesians 5:25) Risk your life to help or save your wife. Christ’s love for the church is without limits, nothing is held back. He gave His life for the church – before you loved Him. His love does not depend on your love for Him. Under God’s authority – love your wife as service–as giving your life to God.

    “Love your wife in the same way you love your body and your life.“(Ephesians 5:28-33) You care for your body daily to be as well fed and healthy as possible. You quickly take care of any needs or desires. Any sexual desire as a husband should be cared for with your wife. In the same way, care for your wife’s needs and well being. Feel your wife’s pain and illness and rejoice in her health as if it were your own life. A husband must see his wife’s sexual desires and make supreme efforts to meet those needs too. Basically, her need or desire whether financial, physical, emotional or spiritual in your relationship must receive your full effort. Only in this way can you love her and provide for her just as well as you do for yourself.

    “Be considerate as you live with your wife, with respect ...”(I Peter 3:7) The Bible says that if we neglect this command, our prayers will be hindered! To be considerate, quit any irritating habits! When she needs to be helped carrying heavy items, do it! If she needs time you can take care of the family! Help your wife with all of your energy, show your love to her with all consideration. Pray to see where you may be inconsiderate.

    “Do not be harsh with your wife.“(Colossians 3:19) When a wife is sensitive realize that harsh answers, angry looks, irritated tones of voice and impatience will deeply affect your wife. Rejoice that she is a lady and isn’t like you – remember that she is a precious gift God has given you.

    “The husband’s body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife.“(I Corinthians 7:3-5) Please your wife physically. Don’t deprive her of what she needs. Sexual pleasure is something that is given, not forced or taken. Discuss what her needs are both inside and outside of the bedroom.

    “Rejoice in your wife all your life. Let her body satisfy you. Be captivated with her.”(Proverbs 5:18-19) No man should look at other women or pictures of other women when he has a wife on whom he can gaze daily. A husband should become fully satisfied with his wife’s body. No matter what the size or shape, if a man will let it happen, and ask God to help him, he can grow to truly find his wife’s breasts to be the most attractive in the world. This is the true spirit of being captivated with your wife. Such a wife will feel sexy, attractive, and most of all, ladylike.

    “And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with vanity about her hair and gold or jewels or expensive clothing;”(1 Timothy 2:9) Encourage your wife to be modest in public and erotic in private with you. A modest woman is a lady. There is much sin and temptation that results from women showing too much skin in public. Just think of the pleasure of knowing that no one sees too much of your wife’s legs but you! You will be shocked at how this one maneuver will increase your feelings of masculinity and her feelings of femininity.

    “Do not be captivated by other women.“(Proverbs 5:20) Finding other women attractive and looking at them will erode your own view of your wife. You will be less satisfied with her and she will feel less special to you. No man can build a habit of glances without subconsciously doing it in his wife’s company. And she will notice. Remember to be captivated with your wife and no one else. She will feel like the Queen of the world and you will fall further in love with her.

    “Call your wife ‘blessed’ and praise her.“(Proverbs 31:28-29) Tell her that she is special and is greater than any other woman on earth. Don’t just mention her physical beauty, but her care for you, her hard work, and her ladylike attributes. Watch the flower of your wife blossom as you repeatedly fill her ears with your praises. She longs for those words and she wants to hear them from you! Of course you don’t need pride, but that does not change the wife’s need and longing to be treasured.

  10. Love Your Wife According to the Bible Step 10.jpg

    “Tell your wife how captivated you are with her body.“(Song of Solomon 4:7; 7:1-8) A true lover will make sure that his wife knows that he finds no flaw in her. God made your wife. God makes no mistakes. If you find a part of her body flawed, then it is your mind that needs to be changed. The responsibility upon the man to grow to love and express love for every part of his wife and also to respectfully and sensually tell her so. It will not help to criticize her or to be sarcastic. Think of how good she will feel when both you and she truly believe that you are enamored with every part of her!

    “Honor your marriage; keep it pure by remaining true to your wife in every way.“(Hebrews 13:4) Jesus says that “lustful looks are adultery.”(Matthew 5:28) This is similar to “because where your treasure is there will your heart be also…”(Luke 12:34). Do not treasure such lustfulness in any area of life, but deny it access to you heart. Keep your marriage pure by training your heart and eyes to be true to your wife. Your marriage will reap huge benefits if you do!

    • Thank the Lord for beauty and appreciate it but keep your eye, joy, mind and heart for the wife.

    “Be thankful for your wife and realize the favor you have received from God.“(Proverbs 18:22) Just think of how lonely you would be without a wife. Adam was alone and it wasn’t good for him to be alone, so God gave him a wife. You have a lifetime companion, a friend, and a lover to enjoy every day. What a blessing! Thank God and pray for her daily. She is a tremendous “prize” from God.

    “Be one flesh with your wife in every way.“(Matthew 19:5) Enjoy life with her as if you were inseparable, but live your life thoughtfully. Long to be with her like you did when you first met. Rush home from work to her. Think about her during the day. Call her every day. Learn as a couple to agree: be like minded. Enjoy intimacy and sex often. You should have sex as often as is necessary to meet the desires of whichever spouse has the stronger sex drive, and as schedules and health permit. Spend time just talking and sharing the day’s events. Show a genuine interest – listening intently – giving your full attention and eye contact. Your wife is more important than anything or anyone but Jesus Christ. Be as one with your wife.

Above All Be Yourself!

Be Active ~ Be You!

Above All Be Yourself!

As we grow we are told what to eat, what to say, how to act, what’s acceptable in the world and what’s not, what our goals should be and if we will go to college or work. At times life reminds me of the movie “The Runaway Bride”. Julia Roberts didn’t know what kind of eggs she really liked until the end of the show. She was so busy trying to like and be like her newest fiancé. It”s bad when we forget who we are, but worse when we never got to know who we are.

As we grow and this becomes the norm, allowing our friends to determine who should be our friends and who should not, just to fit in robs us blind of friendships that could have been great. Let’s face it even the kids that are popular have faults (even if they don’t think so). Now we move unto adulthood. We learn to cover up what is not NORMAL and acceptable in the rims of our world. We are told act this way, say that, do this and your business will grow, or that group will accept you. You have to have this degree or that to join our club. We start as my children say being fake. Then who really knows you or what you have to offer?  No one!

The life I was born into was not pretty, but it made me who I am and I personally think I am wonderful. I have loads to offer and I love the underdog. Many will reach out and help you if you are making X amount of money or your business is peaking. There are very few companies out there to reach out and help you succeed just because that’s what they do. I found through my journey of Entrepreneurship that I wanted to embrace my past and my present. I want to help those who are just getting started or are afraid of the unknown. Those who dream, but don’t know where to go. I was designed to help those who have walked in my shoes and took a different route than I did.

I am not here to sell my workshop, but to speak about it. I came on with Diamond House nonprofit group in Portsmouth, Va to help reach those who need help in all areas of life. One way I am doing this is by providing workshops for women to begin their dreams and decided it would be offered at a low price so many can afford it. (If you are interested, you can find out more at Facebook.com/bonniesbradshaw) Dreaming is just that a dream, but when you take action it becomes your reality. What’s your reality? Are you happy and fulfilled with your life and career?  If not why not?  Do yourself a favor and soul search where you are and where you want to be. It may surprise you.

Be powerful, be courageous, be determined my friend. Life will be sweeter when you do.

As we go I will be sharing parts of my childhood, as I am finishing up my very first book. The first of many. I hope my stories will inspire you to take action in your life. I will be speaking in late March for Diamond House Youth Summit in Portsmouth, VA at the Churchland Library. If you live close I hope to see you there with your youth.

Until next time,
