Wife on Fire Challenge {Week 3}: A Marriage on Fire

August 20, 2018September 18, 2018 - The Country Wife 2 Comments

If you participated in last year’s Wife on Fire Challenge, then you have a pretty good idea of what it means to be a Wife on Fire. And if you’ve been following along here on the blog for any length of time recently, then you know how passionate I am about intentional marriage and making the effort when it comes to strengthening your marriage into a Marriage on Fire.

We have reached the halfway point of this year’s Wife on Fire Challenge—two weeks down, two to go. Here’s what we’ve covered so far:

Wife on Fire Challenge {Week 2}: Love Unconditionally

August 13, 2018September 18, 2018 - The Country Wife Leave a comment

The Wife on Fire Challenge is all about creating and strengthening a faith-founded and grounded marriage.

With that thought in mind, we took some time to select a Marriage Mission Verse last week. This week we are going to look to the greatest example of love, God, to show us what unconditional love looks like.

What does it mean to be a Wife on Fire?

Well, for a much, much deeper meaning behind the meaning of a Wife on Fire, you may want to check out last year’s post. Let’s just say I got a little dictionary happy. 🙂

However, here we are kicking off our second annual Wife on Fire Challenge and I think it’s important to know what you are getting yourself into.

So, first of all, if you are here reading this blog post on the topic of the Wife on Fire Challenge, I’m gonna say there’s a decent chance you fulfill the role of a wife.

But, are you a Wife on Fire?

Hello my friends!

I just want to start this beautiful Monday by saying, “Thank you for being here!”

I know that this Streams in the Wasteland talk has been going on and on it seems, and it has kinda taken forever to get here. But we’ve made it, Streams in the Wasteland: 31 Days of Devotions for Finding Hope in Hardship is finally available for downloading!

You’ve been so patient in your waiting that I wanted to take just one more moment here on CWC to give you the full deets on all things Streams in the Wasteland before things get back to normal around here.

Streams in the Wasteland: Overcoming Obstacles

June 18, 2018July 9, 2018 - The Country Wife Leave a comment

We’ve talked here on CWC about the importance of finding time in your life to just be still. As I’ve been so diligently sharing my first-ever devotional eBook release in Streams in the Wasteland, I thought it might make sense to talk obstacles to devotion time today.

Because life can get hectic. And we all know that spending time with the Lord requires some intentional structuring of your daily life.

Streams in the Wasteland, y’all…is the anticipation just killing you? I can barely stand holding this FREE resource from you any longer, but I must…just for a few more weeks, I promise.

Life has been incredibly busy lately and I’m still working on some finishing touches for the eBook…not to mention trying to figure out the technical side of delivering Streams in the Wasteland to y’all! Remember, I still a newbie at this blogging thing!

So you may have noticed by now that CWC has sort-of become Streams in the Wasteland headquarters. Yes, it’s true…

I’ve been so busy finalizing the eBook and crafting the finishing touches that I really haven’t had much time, or inspiration for that matter, to write any blog posts on other subjects. I hope you aren’t getting sick of eBook talk just yet…because I’m just so stinkin’ excited about being able to offer this resource to my readers for ABSOLUTELY FREE that it is all I’m thinking about and putting my effort towards these days.

Streams in the Wasteland: A Sneak Peek

May 7, 2018July 9, 2018 - The Country Wife Leave a comment

Y’all, I have some insane news to share with you…I’m writing an eBook! Well, a devotional eBook, to be specific…Streams in the Wasteland.

Not so long ago, the Lord placed the idea of creating a devotional on my heart. I’ve experimented with some ideas with friends and family over the last couple of years, but this time I’m sharing my creation with the world! I know, it’s still sinking in for me, too.

I feel like I’ve been a full-on hermit living under a rock for the last three weeks as the eBook writing process is nearing completion. Man, writing a book, y’all…it’s an undertaking. One I sorely underestimated!

Biggest lesson in the devotional writing adventure thus far? Don’t procrastinate…and always plan on it taking longer than you think it will. Yup, hard, painful lessons learned on this first go-round.

Happy Birthday CWC! {Part 5}

Well, we’ve finally come to the conclusion of our first blogiversary series here on CWC. We’ve really done a lot of unpacking over the last few weeks, haven’t we?

We dug deeper into the inspiration behind CWC to find a whole lot of casseroles. Yeah, you’ll have to go back to Part 1 to see for yourself.

We detailed the not-so-scripted launch of this country blog into the world in Part 2.

We explored other bloggers that influenced CWC and lessons learned over the past year in Part 3.

And we recapped favorite posts from year one here on Country Wife Chronicles in Part 4.

Happy Birthday CWC! {Part 3}

Country Wife Chronicles celebrates country roads, less is more, and a wildfire marriage.

I hope that you have found a connection here at CWC. That you have been able to find your likeness in the Country Wife.

Maybe we share the same joys and simple pleasures of living the country life. Perhaps you are a fellow fire wife seeking out another soul who just “gets it.” Maybe you relish the quiet solitude of a still country morning. Or maybe you just follow along because you have a personal relationship to me and you don’t mind getting a new recipe now and again.
