God gives each of us different giftings and talents. I have been given the gift of administration and service. If I weren't married to my husband and lived a single life, I'm sure I would be nurturing children at church as I would more than likely be a youth leader or a children's ministry coordinator. I love doing things, practical things for others.
My husband on the other hand, is not as people oriented. He loves to work with things, computers, things which require logic and skill. If he weren't married to me and living a single life, he would more than likely still be doing Russian/English translation and computer lay out and design for his church.
BUT God saw that it was not good for Deema to be alone so he gave me to Deema as a help meet. I am the supporting actress, he is the lead actor. Deema is a wonderful provider for our family, he takes his work very seriously and spends a good amount of time investing, saving, and budgeting our money. He sees the big picture, I see the smaller day to day frames. I love overseeing our home. The calendar, the meal menu, the clothing purchases, the chore charts, the activities, etc... I love reading book after book to the children at bedtime, Papa likes to measure and administer medications and change diapers.
Together, we make an excellent team. Neither of us really like the dishes so those can pile up easily.... but all in all, we compliment each other very well. Without him, I would just be living in the today, no clue about IRA's, retirement, etc... Without me, he would be hungry and without any concept of who, what, where, and when.
God knew exactly what He was doing when he gave me to Dmitri as a helpmeet.
I like my guy. I think he likes me too!!
