It’s late and I should be getting ready for a gathering we’re going to tonight. But I can’t get this off my mind. Feeling like I’m supposed to share with you one of the most important things I do, other than love my family and Jesus. I serve full-time in a ministry that has changed my life — and am so very blessed to get to partner with Jesus to bring His hope to a hurting world filled with women who need Him so much.
Although our year-end outreach is almost over,God keeps nudging me to post tonight…whispering to my heart…There are women who want to give. Who want to be part of what I AM doing. Invite them to join you. So here’s something really close to my heart that I wanted to share in case God’s nudging you too…
In our her devotion last week called “The Unraveling of a Marriage,” Lysa TerKeurst wrote about an argument she and her husband recently had. In front of the kids. Over something so stupid. Right before they were about to head out the door to go on a date. Here’s more from Lysa…
In the heat of the argument he announced the date was off. He no longer wanted to go. Honestly, I didn’t either.
I wanted to sit in a coffee shop by myself and make a mental list of all the reasons I was right. All the reasons he was wrong. And justify my perspective.But it’s at this exact moment of resistance an unraveling can begin.
At Proverbs 31 Ministries we hear from women whose lives, marriages, finances, jobs and futures are unraveling. It’s at that moment where we step in and offer hope, truth, resources, encouragement and prayer to stop the unraveling.
They are at a crossroad. They have a choice to make and come to Proverbs 31 Ministries asking for guidance. The next steps they take will lead toward what their future holds.
Just as it did for me. My next steps required an apology to my husband. By repairing the snags the correct way — tying a knot and tucking it back into the weave of our relationship fabric — we took steps that led us toward restoration.
Maybe you’ve wondered how you can help stop some of the unraveling in lives around you. Today, you can partner with us as we respond to women in crisis. Women who need us to show them how Jesus can tie a knot of hope, wisdom and direction in their lives and stop the unraveling.
You can make a year-end donation right now .
Many blessings,

We “tie the knot” the day we get married but I never thought about all the other knots that need to be tied to keep that one knot together….Anyone who has done a craft with thread or yarn can easily relate to this.
