Proverbs 14:1 is a very powerful verse. "Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands." Many of us women spend YEARS plucking down our houses with our own hands and then we complain about the results. Maybe we are just trying to be like Mrs. Noah, or Sarah, thinking that God needs our help to accomplish the things in life that WE want. Many times we think it is our husbands who are destroying our homes, by not "allowing" us certain "things" we know that would make us happy. I call this impasse the "Satanic Wall of Selfishness". Men and women alike are responsible for putting bricks on this wall.

Several years ago, I started changing things in my own life with my own hands. By studying God’s word on a daily basis, the Holy Spirit revealed to me that I was quickly becoming the world’s worst wife. Only with Gods’ help was I able to change things around.

I learned long ago that Satan WILL come in and try to control different areas of my life, ESPECIALLY when I am displeased or unhappy in a certain area. When I am concentrating SO hard on what I am unhappy with, Satan just sort of "sneaks in" the back door of my life. Eventually, I destroy a part of my life, without even realizing it.

I remember a time of difficulty in our marriage. We struggled with our service to God; how to do it and in what ministry. After Godly counsel, we put away finishing college and became "laypeople". That almost sounds like a lazy word, and I think many people take it as such, and just "lay" around and let someone else do all the work.
