This sentence is taken from Martha Peace's The Excellent Wife. The context of this sentence is found in the chapter called God's Provision: Resources for the Wife's Protection. It directly refers to a wife making a biblical appeal. I am currently doing a Bible study with a couple of gals using this book. I don't want to comment directly on this subject since I have not read this part of the book yet. I'll comment after I've finished the book though! I will say that so far, the book has proven helpful to me. It is full of things that I already know but it has caused me to stop and really ponder how I can be "the excellent wife" to my husband. This book answers that question very simply by quoting tons of Scripture that refer to our job as wives.
I guess you're wondering why I'm telling you this, right? I should have mentioned that first! Well, I saw this meme over at Corrie's and I wanted to play along. If you'd like to play along, please do. Here are the rules:
1. Grab the book closest to you.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth full sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence to your blog.
*Don't search around for the coolest book you have, use the one that is really next to you.*
I’ll leave the tagging to you…play if you want and let me know if you do,so I can come read yours.
Have fun!

Hi! I came to you from Baseballs and Bows. You have a cute blog! I've read The Excellent Wife and I thought it was very good. Unfortunately, I probably should go back and read it b/c I don't always put into practice what I read! :)
To be honest, that verse is a little hard for me to swallow. I like to be in control!! But, I have a very loving and smart husband. And God is unltimately the One in control! What a great book for the meme!
I haven't read this book, but it sounds good! I'll be interested in hearing your commentary when you are done with the study! There is nothing like going through a good book with the girls...glad you played along!

And that is a wonderful sentence. It's a great reminder for all of us strong-willed women. =) I need to practice trusting my husband; after all, he has our best interests in mind. Doesn't he?! =)
