Day #2....

Day 2: Love is Kind

Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.    Ephesians 4:32

Today's Dare:

In addition to saying nothing negative to your spouse again today, do at least one unexpected gesture as an act of kindness.


*Yesterday I was able to make it through the day without saying anything negative to David. I also skipped ahead a little bit and took it a step further with today's dare as well. David came home and was sick so while he rested, I went and got Chicken Noddle soup for him as well as made a grilled cheese sandwhich to go with it...*

Start of the 40 Day Love Dare...

Good afternoon again.... I know that I said I wouldn't be posting again till after we get back but I have come up with an awesome idea of something I'd like to try....

After viewing the movie "Fireproof" when it came out in 2008, I always knew that the 40 Day Love Dare is something that I'd like to work on... It just so happens I am with the most amazing guy but I am doing this to grow us stronger together...

I dont believe you need to wait till you "hard times" in order to try this... I am doing this simply just because...  I may not update this everyday but I will recap what I miss... I plan on keeping a written journal to go along with this as well....

Anywho with that being said, today is Day #1....

Day #1: Love is Patient

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.  Ephesians 4:2 NIV

Todays Dare:

The first part of this dare is fairly simple. Although love is communicated in a number of ways, our words often reflect the condition of our heart. For the next day, resolve to demonstrate patience and to say nothing negative to your spouse at all. If the temptation arises, choose not to say anything. It's better to hold your tounge than to say something you'll regret....

Day after Christmas

Good Afternoon!! I hope everyone had a great Christmas. My weekend was wonderful and Christmas was amazing! I only have 2 1/2 work days left and then David and I will be on a plane to Disney... It also just so happens to be his birthday on Friday as well. :) I am very excited!!

Saturday we had an amazing Christmas party/dinner. Our friends and family joined us and it went so smooth... All the food was delicious and the time with friends/family is priceless....

Christmas morning David and I got up early, opened gifts and then he made us a very yummy breakfast! :) We had to go to his work for a lil bit but after that we went to his parents to celebrate over there... They went way too far with gifts... It was very nice of them!

Today I am at work with nothing to do so I am updating this blog and then Im off to research some coupon deals... Tonight will be busy with getting laundry caught up, house cleaned, tree down and preparing for Disney... I probably wont be posting on here until after we get back from Disney...

I hope that everyone has a very safe and Happy New Year... I will see ya again on Jan. 4, 2013....

MAY GOD BLESS YOU!
