Our walk with God

I was talking with my husband last night after the house was settled and everything was all ready for his trip. I was sharing with him about how he has shaped my life and how he has shaped my relationship with the Lord. I was telling him how thankful I am for all he has done for me. I asked him, "How have I shaped your life? How have I influenced your relationship with God? He said nothing for a little bit, and I thought "oh great, I haven't impacted him at all, lol!"

But after a few moments, (which sometimes feel like a long time to the less patient,) he said that he doesn't really look at it as his spiritual life. It's more like our spiritual life. *Our* walk with God. I was touched. I thought about it and realized that he's right. Something has changed. My life is intimately tied to his. I guess I asked the wrong question. It isn't really his and mine any more. It's ours.

He left for Haiti this morning at 3:30. I feel like part of me is there with him. I wonder what it looks like there. I wonder where he is walking? I don't know, but I know that I am with him in my heart. I pray that God will pour out his spirit upon him and enlarge him. Let his heart be touched for the nations, and his spirit be broken with a compassion he has never known.

  1. Eph 5:31 says "...the two shall become one flesh..." and I believe this extends to the two becoming one in Spirit as well, just as Ryan pointed out - a very profound revelation. You guys are awesome and are a great encouragement to me as well as the rest of the group. Thanks for sharing your blog with us! -Brad
