I can not begin to express the extreme gratitude that I have to the Father for allowing us to share and minister to each other. I am so thankful that though our lives have taken us many different places, that God through Christ has led us back to each other. How much more perfect could that place be than the house of God. He used you to keep me leveled and to bring me back into his house. He used you to see through my non-sense "no matter how nice it may have sounded" you always made sure I knew that "I" wasnt enough, that I needed Him. I distinctly remember writing a fb status, something about beauty of women, or something like that; and you said "Ron you need a wife. Now considering all I had been through I just wrote it off.
However, that was true. I do need a wife. Someone who is In love with God, striving for holiness, and who can keep me grounded. Someone who I dont have to tell, but she knows just what to do. Someone who knows how to pray when the going gets tough. Someone who is willing to stick with me through the thick and the thin, good and bad, ups and downs etc. Woman of God, that someone is you. It pleased the father that you and I build, and that we grow into covenant with each other. I am excited that he is allowing us to be together. I love you so much and for a very long time. I pray that the lord bless you and keep you. Now unto Him that is able to keep us from falling and present us blameless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, be majesty, honor, dominion and power. for ever. Amen!
I thank God for your life, I pray that we Keep God first. Period! I love you my Woman of God!

Saturday Night
Well, its Saturday night and I am in the house! However, today has been probably one of the most relaxing days I have had all year. In preparation of writing my sales manual, I think I may have read so many articles its not even funny. I have also started some personal reading of my own. The first article that I read was the "7 Virtues of a Godly Husband." Awesome article and I have just started a book today called "The Complete Husband" So far so good, I have to keep reading.... Funny thing is, in all my readings on becoming a "Godly husband" they all seem to say the same thing and the first thing is to seek God first, love God first, submitt to God first, then do the same for your wife. Wow, why was I never taught this stuff. Im learning that God want us to be completely submitted to him, and do what he has for us to do and then will he bless your marriage.
That said, we have to die daily! As the man, the priest of the house, the enemy is constantly buffeting and bringing attacks against him, so we have to be led soley by the spirit of the living God that lives with in us. For the enemy know that if you can bind the strong man (The head of the house) that he can take the family. I learning to be led of the spirit. I have also learned that nothing is perfect. However, we have to be willing to put ourselves aside and consider how we treat each other. How I treat my wife is a reflection of my relationship with God. Ephesians declares that a man is to love his wife the way that Christ love the church.
I learned that premarital sex is a NO NO. Now, Ive known this for quite some time, but had still found myself in positions where i have fallen; however, only because i put myself there. Paul said that "there is no temptation that is common to man, but for every temptation God has provided a way of escape." 1 Corinthians 10:13 knowing this, I was still unsure of why I still allowed myself to fall. I found that answer today. Quite simple really, Its because people have never really put it into any other perspective execept "If you fornicate your going to hell if you dont stop." While that is true, when dealing with mankind, we need more than that, and I got it today. Marcos Mercado, host of "Marriage Beyound the Vows," suggest that God Created Sex for a marriage because sex is the only way for you to completely give yourself to another human being. It was not meant for the exploitation of the act. Thus you incur "Soul-ties." Wow, I thought to myself. I have to love you enough to say NO, not until we are married.
As the man, the High priest, the head of the house, the covering, the protector, the leader etc, I am held responsible if my house is not in order. However, I also learned that you cant just do whatever you want and expect God to bless or sanction your marriage. "If the house is built on faulty ground, you have to tear the whole thing down and start over again So that God can be pleased."-- Marcos Mercado
God is grooming me, I am doing things that I have never done befor, considering things that I have never considered befor. He is preparing me for ministry. Ministry to his people, ministry in my home and ministry to my soon to be wife. I thank God for Bishop and all the pastors at the church. Everytime im around them i learn something different.
Father, my prayer is, now that I am gaining knowledge and understanding (Finally some clear understanding about how to be a "Godly" man all together) that the immediate next step is application. For wisdom and knowledge unapplied, is a waste of preacious and valuable information. I thank you for your grooming, your training, your conversion process. I know that this is going to be the most exciting journey of my life, and I welcome it with arms wide open. I praise you and thank you in advance, and I submitt my all to you Jesus, mind, body and soul. I love you in Jesus name, Amen!

This dream,
Wow, I had a dream this morning. After prayer i layed back down because i didnt have class until 10:15 today. When I closed my eyes and nestled myself into my pillows. my mind started to wander. I dreamt that we were siting in a restaraunt with some farly mature people, not old, just older than us. We laughed and danced and I kissed you gentely. Then we continued to converse (Conversate if you hood lol) with the rest of the people. As we were preparing to leave a lady got my attention. "Come here" she said. So I went. She asked "Is that your wife?" I replied "Yes ma'am." Then she said, "God has imparted to you two the gift of benevolence." I smiled and walked away. As we were talking--you and I-- everyone else contiunued their conversations and then I woke up.
Wow! Benevolence, not a word I use frequently, but im really curious as to what this dream means.

2012
Wow!! we have finally made it in to 2012! "God has some GREAT things for you to do this year Ron, so get yourself prepaired" words from the profet of God on tonight after bible study. "Im ready!!" I replied. I am ready for God to move so mightly in my life, that things change as soon as I walk into the room. Yet, not I but Christ in me. For there is nothing good that can come from me in and of myself. All things come from thee oh Lord, and of thine own do I give to you. I am excited to see what God has in store for me this year and in the years to come. I always knew that there was a great call on my life, but for the first time I feel it actually coming to past. Selah, I must remember to give all thanks a praises to my Father in heaven for without him all that we do is now in vein. Now... Evangelism, God you did not give me the skills and the gift that I have just to make money, but to advance Your kingdom. Holy spirit lead and guide me into all truth, let my mind be like the mind of Christ Jesus our lord, let me decrease as You increase that man see you when looking at me. Move me out of the way so that people will be drawn to your kingdom, replace me with you oh lord and make me the example. Use my life as an example of the great things that You can do. I thank You for all that you are to me oh Lord, and I will for ever give your name the praise Amen!
