My name is Heather Jones and first of all I am a daughter to my incredible Savior, Jesus Christ! I am a help-meet to my wonderful husband who strives daily to be like Christ while leading our family to serve God. We have 11 arrows that God has given us on loan to raise for His army. 8 boys and 3 girls and desire for more if that be God’s plan for us. I long to see my children seek God’s face as they grow and hope so much that they see that goal in MY life!
I am far from perfect and will never claim to be! But by God’s grace and the way He has shown me His faithfulnes, has given me the desire to serve Him as I strive to become a Titus 2 woman every day of my life!
My heart’s passion after being a wife and mom, is to help young mother’s who need to hear they are not alone in the wonderful God-appointed job of motherhood. God has given me a desire to write and I enjoy so much sharing on my blog, arrowsprings, my daily struggles and blessings of being a mother.
Heather,
It is so nice to meet you through your blog… what a beautifully God blessed life and family you have!
I found CSAHM as I’m praying to God for answers and direction with my marriage and was led here. I’m in a second marriage and so is my husband. We have one child together and 2 other boys from previous marriages. We’ve been struggling with mis-trust, communication and attitudes. Dear Lord, It gets tough for me!
I lose faith quickly, I struggle with belief in my own ability as a mother and a wife. I’ll be 32 in April and still throw temper tantrums from time to time with my husband. Now, before you lower the hammer on me about that, let me assure you there are 2 sides to every story of which I’m sure you are aware, I’ve been in a verbally and emotionally abusive marriage the first time and this time too. I know I have a part to play and this is what I need help with the most. I’ve read the books on submission, loving him through it all, being gracious… however, what do you do when you are the one whose always doing just that and getting almost nothing in return?
Maybe you could help me clear the air in my brain and help direct me. My prayer life I thought was strong, but, my husband is quite insensitive without me sounding like I’m bashing him. I’ve tried to lower my expectations, but, we are both “Newer” christians and still dealing with sins of the past.
Appreciate your time if you feel like helping. Thanks so much…
