She supports even my craziest ideas!
#2. A Helpmeet

Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Genesis 2:18

Coming in at number 2 on the list is the wonderful support that my wife gives me every single day. This goes far beyond simply supporting whatever direction I may go. A simple, tragic example of this would be the way she takes care of our house, however often I may trash the place. It may seem so simple, but the way she cares for our home shows how much she loves me, and I am so thankful for that.

Even beyond caring for the house is the way that she takes care of me. I get super busy sometimes balancing work, church, and school, but she helps take care of potential distractions that would impede my progress.

Even more recently I have been overwhelmed by how good a spiritual backbone she has become for me. Even though she is a quiet, polite person, she has grown to be able to assert Biblical truth into my life when I need to hear it. A physical representation of this would be how well she supports me in the praise band, playing whatever I may ask her to beautifully. Also she has shown a great ability to help me lead discussion in community and does a great job of bringing her perspective into the conversation. I am super thankful to have a wonderful wife that supports me just as God intended her to!
