Sugar Mama?

When Pierre and I were dating, I would flinch and fight at his mere mention that I might make more money than him one day. That was just unacceptable to me. I was raised with a very strict idea of male and female roles, and I rebelled against most of them - but the one that says the man should be the main bread winner in the house really stuck. We have a term in Spanish, "Vividor", which is a man that lives off his woman. It's a very bad title to have.

Fast forward to yesterday, I said the following to Pierre:

"Wouldn't it be cool if because you've worked and allowed me to stay home and follow my dreams, that I would be so successful that I could tell you you didn't have to work anymore so you could follow your own dreams (writing books, ministering around the world, etc)? Then we would both be successful and doing what Yahweh has put on our hearts to do!"

Just the fact that I could concieve and be cool with that is proof that Yahweh has done a work in my heart without me even noticing He was doing it. It brings me back to a prophesy I received at the Art of Hearing God classes:

"You are a beautiful garden. You have your head down and you're looking at all the weeds. Yahweh is saying to look up and see the beautiful flowers he has planted in your garden (joy, love, compassion, wisdom, etc). He will take care of the weeds."

When we focus on Him and leave our faults alone, He gets rid of them in His time. I'm now looking forward to the day when I can tell my husband to leave his job because my income is exceedingly above what we need to live and be a blessing to others. I'm looking forward to my husband having the free time to write and express his gifts. I praise Yah for teamwork and the beautiful example of true covenant He has placed in my heart. Pierre and I are both "vividores" - living off the limitless life Yahweh has provided us. :)
