Mr. Brigadare J.Manradge

Let me tell you about this man maybe I shouldn't...I meet in in Skegee and his name is Briggy Suga. Ha, Ha just joking but I did want to use my blogging time to exhort my husband of 20 months nine days, three hours and about twenty minutes Mr. Brigadare J. Manradge. A name that strikes you with the tone of strong leader, and that he is. His mother must have had an inclination of what his character would encompass. Brigdare, really knows how to take ownership of a situation and follow thru. He always takes time to think things thru. He often walks around the house repeated things to see if he really understands them. In his display of godly leadership he is very much so teachable. He does think he knows everything when it comes down to the things of God. He accepts criticism well and continues on the beating path. Without a inch of reservation. Which leads me to my next point. He isn't shy when it comes down to anything. He gives suggestion whither they are received or not. He shares God's truth without being afraid of the response of others. Brigadare is very practical. He takes every idea and makes the most practical decision. Giver..that's Brigadare's middle name. He is constantly looking for ways to be a blessing to others. I see Mr. Manradge's growth everyday and I thank God for the work he is doing in him. Brigadare on a daily basis is seeking God's face on how he can be a godly husband, a loving friend, a gospel witness. For he is striving to obey the Lord. He is a great husbands and I look forward to growing with him in the years to come. Mr. Brigadare J. Manradge....My foreva boo *husband*

Eph 5:23-30 23 For (AY)the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the (AZ)head of the church, He Himself (BA)being the Savior of the body.

24But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.

25(BB)Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and (BC)gave Himself up for her,

26(BD)so that He might sanctify her, having (BE)cleansed her by the (BF)washing of water with (BG)the word,

27that He might (BH)present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be (BI)holy and blameless.

28So husbands ought also to (BJ)love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;

29for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,

30because we are (BK)members of His (BL)body.

Thinking on the night shift

When I'm on the night shift I have so much more time to think. Some would say too much time to think (12Hr shift). Many things I ponder are about the Lord. I am often amazed at Him and His Glory. I was thinking tonight just how great He is and how the testimony of His greatness that I can cling to is that from the scriptures and what He has done in my life and what He continues to do. It has to take the saving power of Jesus to keep me. Often I feel the power of sin trying to redeem itself but the Jesus that saved me, defeats the power of sin from reigning. Whereas when I was lost in my trespasses and sin there was no fight. Sunday, I believe it was Sunday PK that's my pastor, he was explaining how God was the Christian's shield.He expanded the definition by saying he is our buckle. You know like a belt buckle that hold your belt that holds your bottoms. He supported it by Scripture's from the Psalms. Like Psalms 3:3,5:12,7:10,18:2,30,35. My favorite being Psalms 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. So praise be to God for the life has been created in me and how he continues to be my shield and hold my life together. For He desires to be that to all men. Who reject the ways of the flesh and cling to the ways of Jesus Christ. To think and think about the Lord provokes me praise to Him. For my old thoughts were encompass by ways to praise me. So I'll continue to sit back and ponder the things of God. Until He shows Himself faithful and rises the sun in the morning, also the end of my shift. Think about the things of the Lord..........
Psalms 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
