Saturday Challenge

“Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.”

Romans 12:15

The Bible tells us that we should rejoice with those who rejoice and we should weep with those who weep. This sounds like a simple thing but I wonder how much we really do this? How often are we too busy to weep with those who are weeping? How often are we too envious to rejoice with those who are rejoicing? We get so caught up in our own world and in our own feelings that we forget that people need other people.

Today, I challenge you to rejoice with somebody who is experiencing amazing news. Whether it's a text or a small gift or even planning a celebration party. However you feel fitting, rejoice with somebody today. If you know somebody that is hurting, call them or take them out for coffee and listen to them and encourage them. Find a way to weep with them and be there for them.

Feel free to comment below how your challenge went or email me at cryssie.addis@gmail.com! I'm excited to hear how your challenge changed your day!

A Prayer For Wives

This morning I was in the Word and spending time with God and as I was praying for my husband I just felt a heaviness on me. The burden in my heart caused me to intercede for wives in this generation. The world tries to teach us that even in marriage, we as women are "independent" and "have our own mind". These things are true but the world twists it and causes many women to lose respect and honor in their husband and marriage. I wanted to share some things to pray for if you are a woman striving to be the best Godly wife you possibly can be! You are called to be a loving and kind wife who prepares her home for her family! It's in each of us and we can only do it with Him.

Dear Lord,

Give me a heart that views my husband the way you view Him. Give me your heart for him and teach me how to respect and honor him, especially during the times he has failed me or our marriage.

Help me to be an honoring wife that you are proud of. I desire for you to look at me and smile because you know that I am loving your son with the best heart and with a heart that lives for you and only you.

Help me to place my husbands needs, dreams and desires above my own. Help me to let go of resentment when things do not go my way and to trust that decisions are based on the family as a whole and not just me or not just him. Help me to speak up with love and respect when I need to and to stay quiet when I need to.

Help me to take care of our home and run it well. Help me to strive everyday to make our home a place of peace, joy and comfort. Let our home be the one place that my husband feels safe in.

Help me to keep myself healthy and strong for my husband. Help me to desire to look nice for him and to dress modest around others. I never want to leave my husband questioning whose attention I am trying to capture when I walk out the door, so give me discernment on items of clothing that are not pleasing to you Father.

Help me to speak wisely and kind at home, outside of the home, to others and about others. Give me a gentle heart that flows through my tongue and always speaks love and encouragement. Guide me to have a speech that always exhibits who you are in me. Help me to live out Ephesians 4:32 daily dear Lord.

Thank you for the gift of marriage and for allowing me to be the wife of your amazing son.

In Jesus Name,

Amen

"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:32

Cryssie's Updates - Kairos, Pageants, Trips, Girlfriends, And Parentals

Life has been so much fun with growing and Jesus! I can't get over how much He loves us! I attended a Kairos at my church and it was amazing! I really handed over a lot of my recent pain from the miscarriage my husband and I experienced and the fears of never being able to carry a child to full term. I was drowned with fear and shame and God did an amazing work in me once I surrendered it all to Him and allowed Him to work! He is so amazing! The greatest thing about going through this is going through this with amazing girlfriends! The hubby would have been with us too but he had terrible migraines and had to stay home.

The past few months have been full of fun and excitement and a lot of that comes from my Mrs. Lubbock reign and title! I attended the Mrs. Texas pageant in Dallas and we got to see my father-in-law AKA Pappy since he lives there. We had SO MUCH FUN! I experienced my FIRST In-And-Out burger and it was AMAZING!

Then we hit the zoo!!!

Then of course the awesome Mrs. Texas pageant! I wasn't competing this year but I got to see some awesome competition on stage and it fired me up for next year's Mrs. Texas pageant!

I also judged a Junior Miss and Miss Crosbyton pageant! It was my first pageant to judge and I had SO much fun! I hope I am able to judge more pageants in the future!!!

I recently signed on to volunteer for Her Legacy. After attending a Girlfriends and Chocolate Benefit they held, I fell in love with the vision and with the amazing leadership team! I went with some of my girlfriends and we had SO MUCH FUN!

The greatest part of the the spring season thus far has been standing next to my mom as she married her best friend for 30 plus years. It was a beautiful wedding and it was so much fun to celebrate her and my dad and to see them FINALLY TIE THE KNOT! It was a fun day! It's been a fun couple of months celebrating them as a couple and of course celebrating my mom for her birthday and for mother's day! God is good and He created mothers to show us His love in many ways!

Life has been full of change and growth and it's been awesome! I am diving more in the Word and into Him and learning to minister to people His way! I love that God uses our very pain to grow us into who He created us to be!
