May Monthly Newsletter

Greetings from Hilltop!

It’s May, which means wedding season is upon us!! Tim and I have the privilege of coming alongside couples as they approach the day when they commit their lives to one another under God. It is so refreshing to have people seek pre-marital coaching before they say “I do”. We often say marriage is not for the faint of heart. If one is not prepared and does not thoroughly understand that there will be major challenges, they are setting themselves up for a shock to the system. It is remarkable how many couples think they can just wing it and figure things out along the way. (Tim and I were one of those couples.) They think their feelings of love will sustain their marriage for life, and then they learn the hard way that feelings come and go. That’s why it is so vital to establish marriage on something unwavering, on the One who created it.

God designed marriage for our benefit. “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.

But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12) That’s all great to know. But part b of verse twelve is where the magic happens. “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” That cord of three strands in the context of marriage refers to a husband, a wife, and God. When we weave the Lord into our marriage, it takes a lot to break it apart. What better way to incorporate the Lord in our marriage than by turning to Him together in prayer daily and by searching the scriptures for how we are to operate? How generous is our God to have written the handbook for the marriage He created? I’m so thankful that He gives us the answers right there in the Bible. I’ve tried marriage with the Lord and His word, and I’ve tried it without Him. I’ll let you guess which way has worked out better.

On April 10th, Tim and I celebrated 21 years of marriage!! We would not have made it without Jesus.

We also celebrated Tim’s birthday on the 22nd. My sister and her husband from Las Vegas visited to celebrate Resurrection Day with us.

Another super cool thing that happened in April was that I had the honor of teaching at our church’s women’s retreat in Prescott.

God has put us in some pretty awesome places. 💜

  Marriage Tip of the Month

“Choose to serve rather than be served. Make the conscious effort to fill your spouse’s love tank, seeking nothing in return. If they like back rubs, take a few minutes to serve them in that way. If they want the car washed, take care of that for them. If they would love flowers delivered to their office, go ahead and splurge. If they just want to have peace and quiet so they can take a bath or play their favorite video game for a while, make that happen. Choose to sacrifice a little of your own comfort and serve your spouse. Be Jesus to them. “The greatest among you must be a servant.” (Matthew 23:11)

Love and prayers, Tim and Moriah Hilley

"Tim and Moriah saved my marriage. What else can I say? My wife and I were on the brink of divorce. She gave me an ultimatum that we do counseling/therapy or we just call it quits. I originally was against seeking counseling, but I didn’t want to end my marriage. It was one of the best decisions of my life. They are truly, very genuine, understanding, they know what they’re doing and uses the scripture and God above all things. I loved that. This is why our marriage grew- bc of prayer and bc of Tim and Moriah’s coaching. I honestly can not thank them enough. It’s not gonna be easy- you have to put in work. There were many times I cried like a baby. But overall, seriously, this is the best coaches you could ever have. They will have your back 100%."
