I'll never forget the look on her face after the movie ended.

Funny thing is, I don’t even remember what movie we watched.

I remember my brain cells were fried from our knees touching throughout the whole movie but I don’t remember the name of the movie.

Just the look on her face after the movie was done. 

The face of someone who wondered if she would ever experience anything close to the fairy tale kind of love she just witnessed for a few hours (albeit indirectly through an unrealistic movie). 

Yea, I saw that look on Ashley's face and in that very moment I knew it was me vs 'the chick flick'.

You don't make it easy do you? 

I'm done with you. Done. 

[That's what I told myself a month ago] 

It's over. Good thing this relationship was only for a season right? I mean, we both knew from the start that we would inevitably part ways eventually.

I guess I'm just fast tracking the process. In my heart. I can't physically be away from you for a while. But emotionally? It's done. I'm done with you. 

I give up on you

But it's not for lack of trying because I've tried. To listen. Love. Pursue. Apologize. Encourage.

Hey you, please go there because it's guaranteed to ruin your life. 

"Wanna drive a huge wedge between you and God? Here's how". 

"Your kids and family will hate you forever if you just do this one thing". 

I'll go out on a limb and guess that's not what your temptations sound like. The devil is not stupid. He's not a 2 year old trying to trip up an adult. 

No, he's much more cunning and subtle. He's always got tricks up his sleeves and I think one big way he tries to rob us of God's grace is by encouraging us to: 

"Be better Christians"

[Edit: This is a guest post by Nicole (more on her below). Ladies, I didn't write this, a woman did. Just wanted to clarify because some people were offended before reading because they thought it was from a dude]  

Dear Wives,

First off, let me tell you that I love you. Each and every one of you. I consider you a sister, members of a not-so-exclusive club, wherein we act as helpers, friends, confidants, lovers, and partners to our husbands.

Wives rules. Period.

Now, that I have you buttered up (but please believe me, I meant each and every word) I'd like to discuss something with you. It is a phenomena that is sweeping the nation. It is ugly, dingy, sloppy, and disgraceful.

It is the unkempt wife phenomena and it ends today.

1. You'll sometimes feel like you're running out of time. Relax, breathe, you have time. This is not a race and you're not competing with your friends.

2. Before you say yes, know for sure that he'll pick Jesus over you in a heart beat.

3. God has a part for you in his story. Your marriage is not an end in itself. Marry a man on an adventure with Jesus.
