Fireproof

Tonight I have begun a journey. I cannot wait to see what is in store for me as I begin this journey and I can only imagine the great things that are to come from this journey. My church has begun the Bible study Fireproof. I was a big fan of this movie before I ever saw it. In fact, I couldnt get to the theatre to see it when it came out, so I bought it as soon as it came out on dvd. I watched it in full and cried the whole time...the first time I saw it. A week ago we watched the movie as a church and once again I cried. As I begin this study, I pray that God will turn my marriage around. Now dont get me wrong. My husband is wonderful and we have a good marriage, but I truely believe that with God it could be so much better. In fact I know that with God it will be so much better. Granted I know we will have our hard times and our not so hard times. But as it says in the movie, I want to be able to pull through the times when the flames rise up. I am hoping that by the time I end the 40 day journey, that my husband is able to see a change in me. I am praying that when this is over with he will want what I have found, just like what happened with Caleb and Katherine. So as I begin this journey, I will keep posted how things are going. The good and the bad, maybe not all the ugly. This in turn will keep me accountable in more than one way. I am begining tomorrow with day 1. My prayer through this is that God will create a heart in me that is stronger for Him than I can ever imagine. I want a Godly marriage. I want God to be completely evident in my life and I want to put my husband as my treasure. That is the starting point. Making my treasures more of what God wants. I want to treasure my husband. I want him to view the way I treat him as a treasure.
