Praying for my husband.....

I love Sean. He is the most amazing thing in my life. I have said many times to him how I wish we would have met and married in our early 20's so as to have more time together. Then we both look at each other and laugh knowing it would have been a true disaster in our 20's! Not sure if we would have made it past the fourth date and definitely NOT gotten married ~ definitely not married.

In those roughly 10 years between our 20's and 30's he has literally done EVERYTHING! He has been:

• a commercial fisherman (rode his motorcycle from Florida to Alaska with a buddy)
• an EMT
• a white water rafting guide on the Ocoee River in TN.
• worked on a ranch
• played organized sports :)
• a pilot
• an adventure guide for Peak 3 ministries in CO.
• worked construction
• has his maters degree
• wild land fire fighter

At one point he said he was a dancer with Riverdance and I almost believed him. He is really funny and kind and loving and smart and eternally optimistic, always has on the rose colored glasses. He is a fun involved father and is always surprising me. Like for Mother's Day....he bought me my computer. I couldn't believe it! So I find it fitting to have my first blog be about him.

I find it difficult sometimes to see how I can 'help' Sean in his life, see above list, as he has done everything and is usally happy. How can I encourage him? He seems to never really be in 'need' of much. Unlike his counterpart who seems to be on the brink of falling apart often! But as we know that is a lie from the evil one and I know my husband is in constant need of many things.

I found this 'praying for your husband' list from church I think and I would love to share it with you. Each day of the month there is a specific area for which to pray with verses to go along side the prayer. I can't think of a better thing for me to give my husband than to be faithful in this discipline. I would encourage you ALL, married or single man or woman, to engage in this blessed activity. It fosters such unity and intimacy with your husband (wife) while he is away at work or where ever. Enjoy!
