I came across this blog post a while back. I'm not sure how I found but sometimes I blog stalk. I'll click on a friend's blog and then click on one of their friends and so on which leads me to sometimes read complete stranger's blogs. Is anybody stalking me? Hi there if you are!
Anyway this girl did some research and decided to start praying for a specific part of her life each week and praying a scripture that relates. She has kids too so she worked them into the plan. Here's the link just in case anyone wants to see it. Bonus points to anyone who can tell me how to make it clicky.

I've decided to give this a shot. I'm going to pick and choose from her list since not all of them apply to our family.
This week I'll be focusing on this verse which is for our marriage.
"Submit to one another out of reverance for Christ."~~Ephesians 5:21
Marriage is about compromise but this does not mean that we have to give in to every little thing that the other wants. There are "dealbreakers" and things that we should both stand our ground on, but the small, petty things shouldn't be a big deal. Today was the first day I started praying this verse and I have already seen it in my life. That's the thing about God. Sometimes he delivers immediately and sometimes he makes you wait. Something I've struggled with in the past has been passive aggressiveness. Holding my feelings in instead of communicating why I'm upset about something. There's always room for improvement, but we have gotten so much better at this in the past couple of years. I read this verse to Neal earlier and we talked about our interpretations of it.
