Godly Submission in Marriage

{From the Archives of Connie's Letters, February 2011.}


Part 1 - Love and Marriage

Dear Wives and Mothers,,Ya know it seems that the religious world is now worried about the divorce rate,,Well i wondered when they wud worry about it,,Finallllllly they are worried about the adultry going on in the local church,,Then folks tell ya,,"Oh ya gotta go to church '..Why so i can learn to commit adultry and Praise Jesus at the same time "? i know every church isnt like that,,But basically the Christian women are divorceing as fast as the unbelievers,,Probably faster,,There new philosophy is ,,,"I am a child of the King and no man has a right to treat me like that "...Now days the unbelieveing wife seems to have at times more love and common sense then the Christian,,Prostitutes who are after our men knows shes a sinner,,so she can forgive,,and will forgive,,and will keep on comin ,,But the proud and arogant church ladies rules are "One strike and yur out"....Christian Feminism is indeed a religion and has no place in a true Christian womans home,,C.Feminism is an unholy rebellion against men,,And it is Witch Craft....And so many women are in this,,They come against the husband but they dont realise it is about to kill their childrens childhood..The woman who wont submit to her husband will submit to many gods,,She submits to her boss at work and helps him build his kingdom,,But she forgets her own home kingdom ..where she is the Queen,,She submits to every worldly god and destroys her own calling as Queen in her home,,As she wont honor her husband she shows her children the way to rebellion,,The children learn to disrespect authority,,They learn that Daddy dont know nothin,,And pretty soon this teaches them that Mommy is a jerk too..They become their own god...Now ya got some real trouble...The child runs the Home,,,

Part 2  - Godly Submission

See Wives when you try to punish your husbands all you are doing is
delaying him looking at his own faults,,He is supposed to be a MAN and take
care of himself..and face his own self...He has to stand on his own 2
feet,,No one changes because someone told them to..We all make changes when
we see we have goofed things up..and we have suffered,,then we change,,As
long as the wife stands there and needles her husband thru words and actions
then he has someone to blame..But if she keeps her eyes on Jesus and being a
godly wife and mother then she throws the guilt back on her husband for him
to deal with it,,Because he is the only one who can make a decision for his
own self..Only Jesus can woo a man to Himself,,The Holy Spirit calls to
Husbands spirit..Spirit to spirit..Only Jesus can call a man thru the Holy
Spirit..We as wives are called as helpers...We are called to serve our
husbands and to honor them and make them happy,,We are called as keepers at
home to bring honor to our men,,But we are not called to take spiritual
authority over them,,If you try to lord it over your husband and make him be
religious this is Witch Craft..It is a curse upon your husband,,and your
home,,It bindes a man and makes him ornery,,But the true wife will honor her
husband where honor is due ,,And she will build a man out of him thru love
..You do this as you submit to your husband as unto the Lord,,

Part 3

Ya know MaryL my mentor who died 3 yrs ago submitted to her husband till her last breath,, She was 78 when she died,,Russ was 82 when she died and was as strong as a bull and still is,,They had miracle healings alot..They prayed and counseled many Christians,,includeing me and Jim...Mary didnt allow strife in her house,,If Russ was mad at her ,,,it nearly killed her,,And oh Russ loved Mary,,Mary was so sweet about her dog and cats,,She wudnt get into strife even with a bird ,,Her cat Scruffy,,who was in and outside all day is 20 yrs old and acts like a kitten,..Mary slept with her animals ..She said her and Russ were their parents,..Mary kept a lovely home,She made pumpkin pie for Russ all thru the year,,just because it was his favorite,,She got up with him every morning at 4;00 A.M. to pack a lunch for him to go to work,,And always a big breakfast,,And Russ still has a job,,He has no health ins as he says he dont plan on being sick,,And no life ins as he dont plan to die,,i guess he will go up in the rapture,,And right after Jim died Mary told me i cud have Russ after she died,,And she politely died 2 yrs after Jim died,,But i cudnt keep up with Russ,,he needs someone younger..But i am tellin ya one thing,,A Godly Home is a place of miracles..Sickness or curses wont stay long in a home where the husband rules under God..and the wife submits ..Between Russ and Mary they raised 10 children and all know the Lord..This was a 2nd marriage for both of them,,love connie

Feminine Desperados

{From the Archives of Connie's Letters, April 2010.}

Part 1 "Feminine Desperados"

Good Morning Ladies,,i woke up this morning not wanting to write,,Actually i
wanted to run over the hill..i felt like i have led you ladies into the
desert to die,,Wendy you prolly think i have been terrible..i hope i can
sorta explain..The Lord led me as He finally got me outta bed to again read
this book i have..Mary Elisabeth gave this book to me at Christmas,,i have
told you about it before,,the book is called WOMEN OF THE CIVIL WAR,,Of
course the author of this book calls the heroines of these stories
"feminists",,But the women themselves wud twirl in their graves if they thot
someone called them that,,These women were true to their families for the
most part..Why is it if a woman is a bit wiley or industrious she is called
a feminist ? Chrissy Joy my girl who lives in NYC says "Well Mom you were a
feminist,,You had to be to do all you did " Well no i just followed the
Lord,,ON our Radio Show Aunt Toot wants to interview me one of these
days,Toot knows me and knows just what to ask me to get me goin,,it shud be
a fun interview,But may God help us,,i am prayin an hour a day for this
Radio thing,,Only God can help us,,,But anyway i want to tell you all about
some of these women of the Civil War,,The feminine Desperadoes were the spys
for either side,,One woman who hit the newspapers was an actress who turned
spy..Her name was Pauline Cushman,,She was almost hung but escaped,,When the
wives men went to war some of the women went with them,,To me this is as
today,,Many husbands are fighting spiritual wars,,Just because some of us
are not getting shot at that doesnt mean we are not in a war,,We are in a
Spiritual War with unseen forces,,Satan is tearing up family homes with both
hands,,Satan is out to destroy our homes ..

Part 2 "Fanny Ricketts"

Ok heres the story on Fanny and her work in the Civil War,,When her husband
Captain James Ricketts was taken as a wounded prisoner , Fanny went with
him,,She became a prisoner too in order to be a nurse to her husband,,She
nursed him back to health several times as he was captured,,And many of the
other wives did this also,,Some brot their children,,Some became cooks for
the army so they cud watch over the health of their husbands,,They made sure
if they were wounded that they got the food they needed,,The wives didnt
just stand by and watch their husbands die,,The mother of the home was her
families counselor..and nurse,,Of course the mothers with lil babies had to
stay behind to care for the children,,They wud have died in an army
camp..But then some of the wives had lost their homes and so continued to
follow the army camps with their children,It wasnt easy anyway you word
it,,Cant ya just see one of those wives sayin,,"Well i cant take this,,i am
gettin a divorce,," Well in a war you lose it seems either way,,A divorce
only makes it all worse,,if you are doing without now,,you will have less
after a divorce,,The name of the game is patience,,Wait on God..If ya wanna
make the devil mad and upset his game?Smile sweetly the next time you fall
into diverse temptations,,But anyway,,no,,Fanny Ricketts was no
feminist,,She was a virtuous woman,,and she saved her husbands life ,,She
did him good all the days of her life...

Part 3  "True Women"

Most of the wives during the Civil war stayed behind and ran the
Homesteads..They didnt hit the streets lookin for boyfriends as the modern
tv shows wud portray,,But their husbands knew these women were capable wives
and mothers,,And that their wives were to be trusted to care for their homes
and children,Their marriage covenant was a sacred promise to God,,They wud
stay True until death,,The virtuous woman does her husband good all the days
of Her life,,And ya know when we went thru this with our Mary,,Jim had just
died,,i was glad to deal with Mary for my own self as her mom,,But i felt i
was left here to honor Jim and to deal with Mary on his behalf,Our Mary was
so special to Jim,,He was 45 when she was born,,she was his precious
baby,,and mine too,,She was our lil Shirley Temple..For my own sake i cudnt
let her die,,But i kept thinkin of my Darling Jim.And how broken hearted he
wud be if Mary had died an addict,,i just cudnt let Mary go,,for Jims
sake..i wanted to honor Jim..and i will all of my life,,i want to stand
honest before God when i reach Heaven,,And the way to stay honest before God
is to stay honest before your husbands,,Mary wrote me a note and put it in
my book.."To the Bravest woman i know"..All of this from a daughter who
barely spoke to me for almost 3 yrs,,But as i persevered to honor my husband
who was dead,,This brot me to a place of honor in my daughters eyes,,And she
was healed by the blood of Jesus. . Love Connie
