How often do you hear a wife or husband say AMAZING THINGS about their other half? It seems like we hear more complaints than compliments. I wish we heard more of the good stuff. So when I came across the good stuff recently, I couldn’t wait to share it here.
In an interview with Pro Blogger, Crystal Paine, the fantastically successful blogger behind MoneySavingMom.com answered this question:
How important is your husband’s support in your work?
Crystal’s reply made my heart beam with joy! Not only am I thrilled that she has the support from her husband that she describes below, but I’m overwhelmed with gratitude because I can say the same (and more) about my husband, Adam (love you, Babe!)
This is good stuff. Check out what Crystal had to say about her honey:
Honestly, I doubt I would be blogging if it weren’t for my husband. He is my best friend and biggest cheerleader. When I was initially considering starting my first mommy blog, he believed in me and encouraged me to do it. When I was considering starting, MoneySavingMom.com, he said, “Go for it!” I’m positive I never would have had the courage to hit “publish” on so many posts if it weren’t for him reading through them with me and saying, “Yes, you need to publish that. Someone needs to read it.”
In those moments when I’ve doubted myself, wondered what I was thinking, or even considered quitting, his voice has been there speaking words of motivation, reminding me of the why behind what I do: to inspire and impact people. He’s prodded me out of my comfort zone so many times. He takes care of the kids so I can write. He runs our household when I’m out of town on business trips. He serves as a sounding board when I have difficult situations come up. He takes care of all the legal and financial aspects of the business. He’s always reading through contracts for me, helping my team with legal questions that come up, working with our accountant to make sure all the books and payroll are taken care of (spreadsheets give me hives!), and working with me to dream for the future and make sure we stay accountable to our business.
Wow. Go Crystal and your hubby!
I realize there is a long list of extraordinary women, single moms, mompreneurs who have gone after their blogging dreams and made it without that kind of support system (Elayna Fernández, The Positive Mom, is one inspiring example!)
But in a world where we hear more about broken marriages than thriving ones, let’s celebrate the ones that are not just getting by, they’re soaring!
I am beyond blessed and thankful to have this kind of soaring support in my husband, Adam Acevedo. Like Crystal says about her husband, I would not be following my dreams of blogging, speaking and singing without my hubby’s encouragement. He recently bought me a Surface Pro 3 Microsoft tablet to use for this exclusive purpose (and to store my millions of digital photos that keep taking up all his hard drive space!) He is a talented graphic designer and is using his talents to dream and design the website, graphics and everything we need on the tech side of things, to make sure this dream project is successful. When I doubt that I can do this, Adam is the one reminding me to see how far God has already brought us. He reminds me that we’re doing this together. He reminds me that God has equipped us for this. He prays with me and for me often. And he’s an amazing dad to our two kids.
Seriously, guys. I’m so over the moon thankful for the guy I’m holding on to in the pic. I’m holding tightly and not letting go, Babe! Ok, I’ll let go so you can watch The Walking Dead, but that’s about it. 😉
If you know an amazing couple, go up to them and tell them! Encourage them! Bless them! Post about them in the comments section below! I would love to hear about them!
I’ll start by giving a shout out to my friends Jade and Marshall. They are a godly couple, of the rare kind you see pursuing God fervently and loving people fully. Jade is a talented writer and speaker, and her hubby Marshall has been a huge supporter and encourager through their journey as well. It’s awesome to see them serving God together the way I got to see them serve at Journey Church in Kingwood, Texas. I encourage you to check out her blog, J.E. Berry Speaks. I know it will bless you!
You know, when we have this special kind of support in our lives, and it is coming from our spouse; the one we promised to love, honor & cherish when we said “I do,” let’s celebrate the moments when we’re “doing it” (you know what I mean!) Those moments when we’re doing life together and seeing success.
Hopefully, this will encourage you today. If you have a good marriage, ask God to make it great! If you’re struggling, ask God for healing (I’m praying for a few friends through this.) If you have a broken heart, ask God to mend it. He is close to the brokenhearted. And if you’re single, don’t settle! Wait for God’s very best. It’s worth it.
That is one of the most priceless gifts we can get in life. And I’m just being thankful today for mine. ❤️
Adam Acevedo, I love you on my blog. 😉
And everywhere else.
Love,
Coppe ❤️
