Summer Break

God has made it clear to me that I need to take a little blogging break.

Big Guy and I have hit one of those rough patches—not in our marriage, thankfully, but in life. He has been out of work for a while, which has affected our finances and stress. We have some decisions to make about how we can best move forward, and it looks like we may have to make some significant changes that will involve some difficult transitions for both of us.

Not only do I need my time and mind freed up right now to do some work which brings in a small bit of income, I need to be able to refresh myself so I can better support my husband and tend to our marriage.

I will continue to post here. Instead of trying to write something new, however, for the rest of the summer I will be inviting you to look into my archives and at older posts on other blogs. Each week I’ll post a list of links relating to a different theme.

There are so many great resources to encourage you in marriage, sexuality, wholeness, and healing, and I’m excited to introduce you to some of them.

Speaking of resources . . .

While I’m on the subject of resources, I want to remind you of three great resources that are close to my heart.

1. Understanding Your Sex Drive – webinar

Next week, our Sex Chat for Christian Wives podcast is hosting a webinar for wives who want to better understand their own sexual desire and response. I wrote a post about it, and you can learn more at our webinar page. We’re so excited to be able to share with you. Replays will be available, so if you aren’t sure you can make it, you can still sign up and then watch it later. Also, be sure to check out the rest of the webinar series. We’ll have one in September about foreplay, and then in November we’re going to talk with husbands about your sex drive.

2. Honeycomb & Spice community

Sometimes we need encouragement and information from others as we learn and grow, even when it comes to sex. Since I invited you to join the community a couple months ago, we’ve been slowly growing. We have a new Accountability Circle, a sort of community within the community especially for women who want support as they take steps to grow the sexual intimacy in their marriage. You can visit my new website Honeycomb & Spice for more information, or you can visit the community directly to join.

3. My guest post for J

I recently wrote a guest post at Hot, Holy & Humorous—The Secret Sex Lives of Real Wives. I lift the veil on some aspects of female sexual response that many of us don’t fully realize about ourselves. Even better, I have some tips for husbands to help them make the most of you having a female sexual response. It’s a great post to share with your husband.

Can you help?

Meanwhile, I’d love to ask for your prayers for my family. Big Guy and I are really struggling, and I’m so grateful that we’re struggling together rather than separately. We can tell when we are being lifted in prayer. We suddenly feel peace and comfort surround us, and we can see the many small ways God is taking care of us.

We would appreciate prayers for provision for us, for employment for Big Guy, and for clear direction and peace about our future.

If you would like to help us in a more tangible way, visit my Support The Forgiven Wife page. You’ll find lots of links for shopping that give me a bit of commission, including a link to my recommendations on Amazon.

You can also make a direct donation.

If you’d like to make a one-time contribution, you can do so through PayPal or by sending a personal check to me at P.O. Box 2061, Waukesha, WI 53187.

Even though my voice will be quiet here on the blog, I’ll still be speaking up on the podcast and in the Honeycomb & Spice community.

May God bless you and your marriage!
