I’ve been a wife for 13+ years, but it’s only been in the past few months that I’ve been on this journey to circle God’s promises in my Bible–and let me tell you–it’s been life changing!
[For me, it began when I read “The Circle Maker” by Mark Batterson and loved the way that he viewed circles in the Biblical sense–oh my, it’s good! If you haven’t read it–go and do that soon!]
Where to Begin
I have no perfect formula or fix-it-fast kind of solution.
I am just going to work on praying on and memorizing God’s promises.
I have talked before about how and why I circle scripture in my Bible (and what a blessing that has been in my life), and so that’s what I’m doing with these verses.
Read, pray, circle, memorize, and repeat.
I started making a list of some of the negative feelings I have experienced in marriage. And you guys—the list was long! So long, in fact, that this is the second post in a series of three so far! (Read the first post here)
Are you a wife who has started to circle scriptures in your Bible?
Are you noticing the changes yet?
It’s time to fully replace feelings with God’s Truth!
