Today's proverb surrounds James Farmer. God bless you all, around the world! here's just another spiritual tidbit for Black History Month. Blessings be upon you! #josephmekaelpageministries

Proverbs 19:1 (KJV)“Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.” Reflection:James Farmer was a champion of civil rights. He was a founder of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). Farmer embodied integrity in the face of oppression. His commitment to nonviolent protest and equality speaks to the wisdom of Proverbs 19:1. Despite societal…

Welcome to My Blog!

Hi there, lovely! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a young wife, homemaker, and most importantly, a follower of Jesus. I was blessed to marry my wonderful husband in November 2024, and every day, I strive to honor God by embracing biblical womanhood, nurturing my marriage, and cultivating a home filled with love, warmth, and faith. We want to have a large family, I currently have two babies in heaven. If it’s Gods will we will be blessed with more earth-side babies ❤️

I believe in living a life that reflects God’s perfect design, one of gentleness, purity, and devotion. My heart is set on serving Christ first and foremost, and second to Him, my husband, whom I joyfully submit to as my leader and protector. I cherish the beauty of traditional values, which shape every part of my life, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

I used to identify as nonbinary, gay, a feminist, and a witch. During that time, I struggled deeply with depression, anxiety, and constant spiritual oppression. But Jesus met me in my brokenness, rescued me from darkness, and completely transformed my life. I no longer live in confusion, He gave me peace, identity, and freedom. Glory to God.

What I Stand For

✨ The Sanctity of Life

This blog is pro-life, because every child is fearfully and wonderfully made by God (Psalm 139:13-16). Life begins at conception, and every baby has a God-given purpose. I believe in supporting women with love, resources, and guidance so that no mother feels alone in choosing life.

✨ The Dangers of Pornography

This blog is anti-porn, because pornography destroys hearts, marriages, and intimacy as God intended it. It turns real love into something selfish and empty, leading to addiction, shame, and broken relationships. I believe in fighting for purity and God-honoring relationships that reflect true, selfless love.

✨ Biblical Marriage & Submission

I believe in God’s design for marriage—a covenant between one man and one woman. As a wife, I embrace submission as a beautiful, biblical calling, trusting my husband’s leadership and honoring him in my words, actions, and heart. Love, respect, and obedience to God’s Word create a strong, joyful, and lasting marriage.

✨ Domestic Discipline

I believe that domestic discipline is a personal choice that should be made mutually and consensually between a husband and wife. While it’s not for everyone, I support a couple’s right to practice it if they believe it strengthens their marriage. When approached with love, respect, and biblical principles, it can provide structure, accountability, and deeper trust. As long as both spouses agree and it is done in a way that honors their relationship, I see it as a valid and beneficial dynamic for those who choose it.

✨ Biblical Womanhood & Femininity

I am passionate about biblical femininity, modesty, and creating a home that reflects Christ’s love. I believe true beauty isn’t just about how we look, but about having a gentle, quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4). In a world that devalues womanhood, I strive to embrace my role as a wife and future mother with joy and grace.

✨ My Perspective on Feminism

I do not agree with today’s version of feminism, which rejects traditional femininity, submission, and the beauty of God’s design. However, I do believe women should have the right to vote and make choices for themselves. Women are not less valuable than men, but we are beautifully different, and our strengths should be celebrated rather than diminished by a culture that seeks to erase them.

✨ My Beliefs on Gender & Sexuality

I personally do not believe men can become women or that women can become men. I do not agree with the LGBTQ lifestyle, and you will not find me in support of it on this blog. However, I have nothing against those who choose to live this way—you are a valuable human being, just like the rest of us. My belief is simply that marriage was created by God to be between a biological man and a biological woman. If you disagree, this may not be the blog for you.

A Few Things About Me

• I love to cook! (I once dreamed of being a chef, but my heart is too tender for the food industry.)

• Children are my joy! I work in childcare and find so much fulfillment in nurturing little hearts.

• I love reading! (The Phantom Tollbooth is my favorite book!)

• I enjoy poetry, songwriting, and drawing. (I may not be the best artist, but I love creating beauty in every form!)

• I make soap, lotion, and tinctures as I learn more about natural living.

• I strive to be a good, submissive wife and grow in grace, patience, and humility every day.

Why I Started This Blog

Marriage is a journey, and I want to share mine with you—the joys, the lessons, and the ways God is shaping me into a better wife and homemaker. My goal is to encourage other women to embrace biblical womanhood, cherish their marriages, and build homes that reflect God’s love. ❤️

If you value faith, femininity, and the beauty of a God-centered life, you’re in the right place. I pray that this blog blesses and encourages you as we grow together in grace and truth.

With love,

thatgentlewife

I asked God to move a certain mountain but He gave me the grace and strength to scale it and another time when I thought He'd part the waters, He simply assured me that His presence will be with me and that the waters will not overwhelm me. And now when I look back I see His faithfulness, and that I have indeed come out stronger and all things have worked together for my good. Nothing in life is certain and the unknown can sometimes seem frightening. But I urge you, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

He is God and He knows what He is doing. Jesus never fails.

هذه الحكمة تعني "أعطني قلبك؛ يمكنك أن تلتقي متى شئت".❤️

The Arab,s proverb says, "Give me your heart; we can meet whenever you want."

This means that sincerity of heart and truthfulness in intention are essential in relationships, and the frequency of meetings is not as important. It emphasizes that genuine love, loyalty, and a pure intention strengthen relationships. When the heart is sincere, meetings become meaningful, regardless of how few they are. This is a profound thought that reflects the beauty of human relationships.

Proverbs 3:24-26 (AMP). [24] “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. [25] Do not be afraid of sudden fear Nor of the storm of the wicked when it comes [since you will be blameless]; [26] For the Lord will be your confidence, firm and strong, And will keep your foot from being caught [in a trap].”

Psalms 16:8 (NLT). [8] “I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.”

“Training to See God” by In Touch Ministries:

“Ask God to help you see the evidence of His love and power in your life.”

“David was confident that the Lord was always with him (Psalm 16:8). His psalms reveal he was well aware of God’s intimate involvement in his life. Like David, we should train our spiritual eyes to notice evidence of the heavenly Father’s presence.

Seeing with spiritual eyes isn’t a now-and-then kind of thing—it’s a lifestyle. Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). Those who walk with the Lord can take captive unholy thoughts, habits, attitudes, and words. They can cast out sin and live in righteousness. As a result, such believers have a spiritual clarity that sharpens their awareness of God’s presence and role in their life.

When you lie down and talk to the Lord before going to sleep, try to recall the events of your day. What you’re really doing is looking for evidence of God’s hand at work. How did He guide a decision? Answer a question? Protect you in a situation? Help you in a relationship? Appreciating the Lord’s handiwork will etch the reality of His love deeper in your heart.

For us as believers, evidence of God’s great power is everywhere in our life, if only we will see it. Viewing the world with wide-open spiritual eyes changes our perspective. We can live confident in our loving, omnipotent God, who dwells within us.”

365 Proverbs for Daily Living

Day 75 – Self-Destruct Button

A man who commits adultery with a woman lacks wisdom, whoever does it destroys his own life. He will be beaten and despised, and his reproach will not be wiped away; for jealousy kindles a husband's rage, and he will not show mercy when he takes revenge. He will not consider any compensation; he will not be willing, even if you multiply the compensation. (Pro 6:32-35 NET)

Read: Revelation 2:18-29

One of my favorite animated series is Phineas and Ferb. They have a pet platypus who is actually a secret agent, whose nemesis is Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz.

The evil doctor is always inventing dastardly devices to help him take over the tri-state area, and they almost always would succeed except for the fact that he always builds into each a self-destruct button, frequently right beside the power button.

While Perry and Doofenschmirtz are scripted as if they are a side gag, their battles ALWAYS clear the scene from whatever Phineas and Ferb are up to, much to the chagrin of their big sister Candice, who is always trying to ‘bust’ them to their mom, who never seems to notice what her kids are up to.

While the series contains so many object lessons we could be here for days, I wanted to focus on those crazy self-destruct buttons. If I were Heinz, I’d have kept them off, had them locked behind a shield. Hidden them in a safe place. Put them deep inside the casing. In short, made them hard to get to. But, no, they were always easy to find, with a large red button, clearly labeled.

We’ve got one built in too, you know. It’s the drive that helps us replicate the species. But when allowed to run in sinful directions, it destroys our fellowship with God, then our fellowship with our spouse, and often our fellowship with others, too. We are still paying for the sexual revolution of the 60s, but it’s getting stale to blame the hippies for our problems today. Because, truth be told, we’ve always had a little of Thyatira in our blood. It’s not something any of us like to admit. And if we stick close to God, keep our hearts fixed on him, and put up enough safeguards, we might forget that self-destruct button is there. But if we keep trying to push it, dear Christian, we’re eventually going to blow up.

Prayer:

Father, may I keep my mind fixed on you, today. Amen

A Day in the Life of God’s Princess 👑✨

As daughters of the King, we’re all God’s princesses—loved, valued, and called for a divine purpose. But what does it really look like to live as God’s princess in our daily lives? Here’s a reimagined royal routine to inspire your walk with Christ.

• Begin the day with gratitude, acknowledging your royal status as a child of God.

Proverbs Daily Reflection – February 2, 2025

Harriet Tubman, often called the Moses of her people, embodied the wisdom and protection described in Proverbs 2:11-12. She was not just a conductor on the Underground Railroad. She was a woman of deep Christian faith. She believed that God had called her to free the oppressed. #josephmekaelpageministries

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” – Proverbs 17:22

Laughter is a unique gift given to us, human beings by our Creator. I say unique because you don't see animals cracking jokes or laughing with their kind. Laughter makes our spirits light and reduces our stress levels. Instead of constantly talking about our difficulties, let's ask God to fill our hearts with joy and our mouths with laughter. We must take time off to have some lighter moments with our family and loved ones, laugh and have fun. See the brighter side of life. Your circumstances may not be favourable, but with Jesus by your side we can smile at the storm. There's no reason to be sad and miserable. All will be well. Cheer up!

[walkswithmyfather]

Genesis 5:21-25 (AMP). [21] “When Enoch was sixty-five years old, he became the father of Methuselah. [22] Enoch walked [in habitual fellowship] with God three hundred years after the birth of Methuselah and had other sons and daughters. [23] So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. [24] And [in reverent fear and obedience] Enoch walked with God; and he was not [found among men], because God took him [away to be home with Him]. [Heb 11:5] [25] When Methuselah was a hundred and eighty-seven years old, he became the father of Lamech.”

Matthew 6:33 (KJV). “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

“How to Walk With God” by In Touch Ministries:

“If a relationship with God is our priority, we can rest, knowing He will direct our path.”

Scripture tells us that Enoch’s walk with the Father was so close that “God took him” (Gen. 5:24). This implies Enoch didn’t die but was taken directly into the Lord’s presence. It pleases God when His children seek to follow Him with this same closeness. Consider these aspects of a vibrant walk with the Lord:

• Reconciliation. This term essentially means “God moving toward us.” We can be joyful because the responsibility is all His. Through the cross of Christ, God has already made His move in our direction. 2 Corinthians 5:18 says, “Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.”

• Trusting God. We must have faith that, through Jesus, God provides all we need in order to walk intimately with Him.

• Agreement. To appreciate the closeness God longs to have with us, we must agree with what Scripture teaches about His Son, His Word, the church, and sin.

• Fellowship. Just as human relationships fall apart without regular interaction, our intimacy with God weakens when we don’t spend time with Him.

The walk of faith is a beautiful journey. When we seek the Lord above all else, He’ll direct our path (Proverbs 3:5-6).

365 Proverbs for Daily Living

Day 12 – The Giver of Wisdom

For the LORD grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. (Pro 2:6 NLT)

Read: Psalm 49

The movie, The Giver, starring Jeff Bridges, is based on a Newbery Award Winning novel of the same name by Lois Lowry. It starts out seeming like a Utopian novel, about a society where nothing goes wrong, where every day is perfect, and everyone is happy. Everyone is well-behaved. There is no rain, no snow, no tornados, no bars, no drunk drivers. No crime. It seems like heaven, almost.

But under the surface, we discover that it’s really a dystopian novel, and the society enforces ‘sameness’ by removing any differences. There is no color, no rainbows, no music, no literature except approved manuals. There is no entertainment. No History. No memory, even. Everyone is required to receive a daily injection so that they can’t see color, so that they remain happy and content. Your lifetime career is assigned by computer. Anyone who does not comply, who does not fit in, who might cause trouble or even seem odd or different, is sent Elsewhere – essentially, they are euthanized. It seems like hell, almost.

The only person who knows anything about the past is an odd man called The Receiver of Memory. This person is allowed to store the collective memory of what came Before. He renames himself ‘The Giver’ as he receives an apprentice, to pass on the truth of what this society has become, to one of the boys in the Community. This knowledge, this memory of what they had LOST, what they had BECOME, what they WERE, what they were DOING, is passed on in small snips because the entire truth is too large, too hard to accept, all at once.

We can try to amass riches and live an idyllic life in a perfect climate, but our riches cannot go with us, and only wisdom will last beyond the grave where we are all going. God is the Giver of Wisdom. This information is freely obtainable in the Bible. It isn’t given to just one person. You don’t have to be lucky enough to be assigned by computer to be allowed to have it. All you have to do is open your mind, open your heart, open your Bible, and read. But it doesn’t come all at once. It comes little by little, over years of study. It does require a bit of mining, as we discussed yesterday. But it’s worth all the hard work, the careful and prayerful study. Because with Wisdom comes eternal life.

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for being the Giver of Wisdom. May I mine new truths from your holy Word, today. Amen
