10.11.97Hello, Ladies! I thought it would be fun to give some brief introductions. It has now been ten years since I first became a help meet for Jake. We are the parents of an eight year old son and a nearly seven year old daughter. You may like to visit our blog sometime, "Our Family Highlights" to learn a little more about our family, and to view some more recent photos (we've changed a bit in 10 years!)
When our son was about six months old, I began to seek out some godly parenting advice, and that is when someone first mentioned No Greater Joy Ministries. I ordered To Train Up a Child, and read much of it aloud to my husband. We both agreed that we wanted to proceed with the principles and methods that were outlined in the book. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the Pearls for writing such a book and sharing it with us all.
I have received the free No Greater Joy Newsletter all of these years and I was very excited when there was first mention of Debi's work on a book for wives. I "pre-ordered" it and they mailed my copy out when it was hot off the press. It was, and continues to be, the best book that I have ever read on Titus 2 instruction for wives.
For our first scheduled reading (Intro & chapter 1) I found this sentence to really stand out above the rest:
That has given me a lot to ponder! I look forward to hearing from more of you soon!

"The degree to which you reverence your husband is the degree to which you reverence your Creator" - p.22
That has given me a lot to ponder! I look forward to hearing from more of you soon!

I am in hearty agreement with your assessment and the sentence you chose about reverencing your husband and reverencing Christ. Clearly, our theology does influence our decisions and emotions about every-day life and relationships. I anticipate reading more of your insights!
Jessica, I look forward to getting to know you via the blog. I know that you will have to much wisdom to offer as you have so many years to ponder and practice what this book has taught you. I will anticipate when you "open (your) mouth in wisdom". I also visited your blog - wow, have you all changed - and really enjoyed it. I would love to have a photo of your whole family. Could you send one to me at my e-mial (chelle.albania@gmail.com) so I could print it out and see your face when I pray for you? Thank God for new friends for eternity!
