I honestly thought when people said marriage makes you become a better person that was just a cliche' statement that married people say to give you hope and so you won't end in divorce. I can honestly say it is isn't.
I'm not aligning my chakras with the universe, or on a new health journey that has me reducing my sodium intake or counting my carbs (although I quite possibly should be), and I'm definitely not on a quest for truth to discover my inner Hotep. I'm already woke, but I'm definitely more aware. Knowing that i am apart of someone in a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual sense has made me want to try even harder to be the very best half of this beautiful union that I can be. Not just for my husband, but also for God. I want to be closer to God more than ever and yes, maybe a small part of it has to do with the fact that my husband and I both realize we need God in the center of our marriage to work, but it also means I need to be close to God because just like being a mother to my girls; being a wife is something i can't just read a book and ace the exam. It is a daily job that every day is a test and i have to be linked to God in order to succeed. I don't know all the answers no matter how much i read about how to be a good wife...without God I may have a marriage, but in order for it to prosper the way God intended I need Him. The Spirit led me to get up 45 minutes earlier for one one one time with God, Yoga and exercise, and scripture reading. Honestly this is something I should have been doing a long time ago, but i made excuses such as, "I have quiet time when I'm in the bed" or, "It's too hard to get up earlier when I have a one year old who still wakes up during the night for feedings." I am not a morning person, but this is something i know God has been calling me to do. So I made the decision with God's help that I will get up early and listen more closely as far as what he is requiring of me since i am asking so much from Him for me and my family. What are some of the things God maybe asking you to do that you struggle with being obedient about? XOXO, Krystale Jane'l
