My walk with Jesus is deeper and far greater than it ever would’ve been because of the influence my husband has had in my life.

Pray about everything and pray a LOT!! Your prayers are eternal, so leave a huge legacy of prayer for your children.
Question Seven: James 5:16 states, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.” Jill, we are told in God’s Word of the importance of prayer. If someone were to say to you today, “I want to stop praying—I don’t see anything happening,” what would you say to encourage that individual as relates to prayer?
God is always working for the good of His children and for His glory. Even when it doesn’t look or feel like He is working, He is—He always is—keep trusting, keep praying, and ask God to help you with your unbelief.

The focus of our prayer should not be what we want from Him; instead, it should he about God Himself—His greatness, His love, His faithfulness.
Question Nine: If you could say anything to your 21-year-old self today, what would it be?
Let yourself feel, especially the hard feelings of hurt, rejection, and disappointment. You are not protecting yourself by shutting down your feelings, you’re actually hurting yourself worse, because you will miss out on so much more than you realize.

Always tell each other the truth and spend quality time together having fun. The memories matter more than the material things.

I want to be remembered as a woman of prayer, forgiveness, and that I served them well.
Question Fifteen: How has Jesus changed your life?
He has changed my eternity! Because of Jesus, I now have eternal life instead of eternal death, I am completely redeemed, and I get to experience His presence, peace, and power here and now.
