Philippians 4:9 NASB
Most days I get so caught up in the chaos and need Most days I get so caught up in the chaos and needs of life that I forget God has a plan for my life. 

Between feeding children and folding clothes, who has time for God’s plan? 

Then you add in all the problems that come through different seasons of life and I can begin to feel alone in the struggles. 

Today we will look at how to be still and really see God in the midst of our troubles. 

We will see that God is bigger than any problem!

Have you ever gone back to your browsing history t Have you ever gone back to your browsing history to find something only to find out it has been wiped clean? 

As the wife of a man who struggled with an addiction that was a red flag.

Are you a selfish person? I am. At least 50% ( Are you a selfish person? 

I am. 

At least 50% (or more) of my thoughts and actions each day revolve around keeping life running without stress. 

In my not so humble opinion, life is best when it is easy, doesn’t require change, and creates a sense of comfort. 

If I am living life from a selfish mindset, and it turns out my husband is also living life from that mindset, we have a problem. 

Today we will see 3 ways to fight selfishness in marriage all tied together in the phrase, “Love does not seek its own.”

Mine has for so long that I get uncomfortable when there are seasons of peace. 

The truth is, there is a real battle happening than what we can physically see.
