Thank GOD we made it through Thanksgiving and Christmas! In fact, we are now almost through that period of time when we begin reflecting on the year we’ve enjoyed or endured, and unfortunately, when we start to see a lot of resolutions posted on social media. Does anyone take those resolutions seriously? I see the same resolve over and over and over LOL! Ok, ok I too have been guilty of making resolutions both publicly and privately. Hallelujah for GROWTH!

Hello Kingdom Couples! We are Andre & Stephanie Baker and we are honored and excited to become contributors to the Submission a 2 Way Street Blog. Accepting this challenge wasn’t an easy decision. I wondered who would want to hear what we have to say and what gave us the authority to speak on marriage, family, or faith. Then the Holy Spirit reminded me that we all have a testimony and that we are to share it. ; Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.” Today we are tackling the topic of Blended Families.
For most of us there are three main things we are typically short on. Time, money and patience. Speaking for myself it seems as if I never have enough of either of those things. Between working multiple jobs and dealing with three children and all of their extracurricular activities as well their schoolwork and home life I often feel stretched very thin. Feeling like this often times makes it so that I can be forgetful about certain things or I just simply put things on the back burner. Things such as my health, eating habits, free time and often times this list includes my marriage. Often times, we take for granted that in order to maintain a good marriage that you have to work at a good marriage. Yes, you and your spouse love each other and you are partners and they understand that you have a lot going on but, if there is no effort there can be no growth! This is exactly why we have to be INTENTONAL in our marriages.
With every new milestone in life we experience excitement. We make our plans and we think we know what to expect and what is going to happen. As we do this, it isn't long into the new adventure or endeavor that we soon realize that things aren't what we thought they would be. It is after some time that the proverbial "scales" are lifted from our eyes and we began to see that things aren't always what they seem. We discover every flaw and shortcoming and we can often become discouraged. After some time we even carry the thoughts of just giving up and quitting. These milestones that I speak of could range from a new promotion at work, finding a new church home and of course embarking on the journey of marriage. Regardless of the scenario we have to realize that expectation can only be met when its combined with work ethic.
In today’s society, when a woman wears heels, it is viewed as classy, professional & sexy. Most young men and even some older men enjoy seeing a woman in a good pair of heals with a nice dress on. A nice pair of heels brings about a certain feel or flare to a woman’s outfit and causes husbands to look at their wives in a certain way.
How many people truly understand the anatomy of a heel? There are ten parts which tend to make up a high heel which are: counter, shoe quarter, heel, top heel, heel breast, shank, insole, vamp, toe box and sole. All ten of these parts help to assist the shoe in one way or another. (see photo below ) |
