Anyone else watch a little football this past weekend? I love how most coaches have a guy who follows them around and pulls them back by their pants when they get out on the field too far. I need one of those guys but like in girl friend form. When I get a little too far out into the world and someones only job is to pull me back so I don’t get myself into trouble. Yes please! But life doesn’t work like that. God had the right idea in mind when he gave us boundaries though. He knew, that without the proper rules in place, we’d cross that line. We know rules don’t keep us from doing bad things but it does give us a good place to start and mold our lives around. Thank you, Jesus! God has the ultimate divine plan for our lives. With such detail he mapped out our every step, thought, direction and carefully crafted our unique gifts and purpose. Our person that pulls us back from crossing the line, is the Holy Spirit. I pray you have it. I pray your husband has the Holy Spirit within him too.
