    I love love love this Carmen! I was just wondering when it comes to the 'Adams' in our lives…what are practical ways to be against when we see them going astray? Without being controlling and manipulative?

    That’s the million $$ question, Des! Well, understand that the quickest/most efficient way to SEE changes in her husband is to ALLOW HERSELF to be changed. We can’t change one person (or ourselves) BUT we CAN be so changed, they begin to ask questions. 1 Peter 3 says ‘the unbelieving spouse may be won by THE CONDUCT of his wife, WITHOUT her saying a word’. That’s powerful. That means SHE’S SO NEAR THE LORD – being unbound by others Titus 2:3-5 – that her spouse eventually comes around, too. NOW (caveat), if the sister is not married yet, this really doesn’t apply because he may not be the one for her IF she feels like she’s constantly needing him to change directions in order to ‘walk with the LORD’ that she's walking with. (a very common mistake many of us make/have made…including myself) This is another instance where godly wisdom/counsel from older Sisters who love her, and know her is so valuable. It’s a journey, Sister!!!

    Hi Carmen! When it comes to the 'Adams' in our lives how can we practically be for them when we see them going astray – Without coming off manipulative or controlling? Would love your insight!
