Annie's Woodshed: The Desire of my Heart

A True Wife

"A true wife makes a man's life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love 'turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.' While she clings to him in holy confidence and loving dependence she brings out in him whatever is nobles and richest in his being. She inspires him with her courage and earnestness. She beautifies his life. She softens whatever is rude and harsh in his habits or his spirit. She clothes him with the gentler graces of refined and cultured manhood. While she yields to him and never disregards his lightest wish, she is really his queen, ruling his whole life and leading him onward and upward in every proper path. -JR Miller

The Desire of my Heart

I wasn't going to post today but then I had to sort my thoughts so I could focus on work.

The Desire of my Heart

I am adrift from the dock, floating alone; my course is directed by the force of the water. The fog sits heavy on the water, I do not know if it night or day. I hear sounds all around me but I can not see anyone or anything. I can not call out because my thoughts are so muddled that I can’t even form a sentence. I am just adrift.

I long for the arms of my beloved - to be held by him, protected by him. I yearn for him to stand between me and the world. I crave his warm and his love. I am the lioness that needs to be dominated by her mate. I am the mare that desires the nips and butts of her stallion. My inner self needs to burst forth and sit at the feet of her master. My inner self desires to please him to be the soft feminine person he requires. But that part of me is trapped in a cocoon unable to break free.

Trapped and can’t escape. Her voice is calling out, “Please sir help me. Help me to escape” Release me from my cage. Please shatter these walls that have encased my cocoon that I might be able to break free. Tear down the walls that have trapped me for so long.

The walls that surround me were erected long ago. They have been reinforced over time to keep others from seeing the vulnerable side of me. Breach these walls that surround my heart so that the love I feel will spring forth. Rescue me Sir.

Rescue me and bind me with your chains. Tear me down and then build me back up mold me into the desires of your heart. Splinter my strong will; overpower this temper of mine; set me free only to be dominated by you.

Thanks, I never could put into words standing in front of hubby what I wanted (needed) and it was driving me crazy and I was frustrated. Last week at work I couldn't think because this was weighing on my mind so I opened a new Word document and this is what poured out. It took longer to find the correct picture to go with it than it did to write it.

Colossians 3:18-25

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality. Colossians 3:18-25 ESV

1Peter 3:1-7

Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. 1Peter 3:1-7

Proverbs 31: 10-31

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet. She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31: 10-31 (ESV)
