Book Description:

With so many distortions of the essence of a woman, today more than ever, women need to ruthlessly examine their perceptions and reality of being a wife, and then align them with Truth so that they may become the best version of themselves as God had intended them to be.

In The “Sorta” Good Wife, Kim Hess explores how A Good Wife, as described in Proverbs 31:10-31, beautifully portrays the dignity of being a spouse as a wife. However, this expectation gets warped by trauma, sin, fears, and lies, and many women do not know how to embrace and enjoy this vocation. A woman must align herself to Truth and rely on His power, not her own. The Lord desires to be a part of every aspect of daily life and every season of her life, so that she may reach her full potential.

GUEST POST:

Who Prayed for Me?

By Kim Hess

I have a list of people of whom I pray for. The people on my list fluctuate as their intentions are asked and answered, but a few have remained on my list over the years for which I pray very specific prayers.

One specific person has remained on my list the past couple of years. She’s a teen, experiencing a very similar childhood as I had. Her father is battling brain cancer. He suffered from seizures, forced to change his employment status, considered extreme treatment options, and had to adjust to a new lifestyle. She has had to live through these changes as an adolescent.

I remember those traumatic years. It’s not easy to endure, especially as a teen.

Every so often, her name pops into my mind during the day, and I pray for her, her father, her mother, and her brothers. Sometimes, I text her mom with a quick prayer. The mom usually replies quickly, surprised with the timing of my prayer, which often coincides with a difficult situation in their lives. (Thanks, Holy Spirit!)

As I prayed one morning for this young lady, a thought popped into my mind: Who prayed for me during my childhood? Did the Holy Spirit prompt that person to pray for me during the day? What did that person pray for me?

I wish I could thank that person in person, because I firmly believe those prayers contributed to me returning to the Lord. I no longer hate God, like I did when I was a teenager. I want to tell that person that I appreciate the intercessory prayers, and I wonder whether specific prayers preceded blessings or breakthroughs. I hope that person knows that I praise God for him or her, because I believe that person was crucial to my spiritual life in ways that I perceive, but not fully understand.

Perhaps I will get to thank that person in Heaven.
