Love is Patient

So, I'm doing this dare.  I decided to do it just to see if I could get through it.  While it's been a trying year with Ryan being gone so much, I decided I would do the 40 day love dare.  This is an activity that will strengthen all marriages, so I wanted to do this for a while now.  I finally got around to starting it. 

So with that said, every day there's a bible verse that goes with the dare.  Yesterday was the first day and here's the verse for it:

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

And the dare for the day was to say nothing negative to my spouse for the day. 

Then I had a list of 3 things to do and they were to pray for my spouse and myself, perform the dare, and write my thoughts or feelings, so I decided that I would do some blog entries as a journal to keep my thoughts on.  It is my hope that through my journey it will inspire someone else to also take this journey and work on their marriage. 

Journal Entry:  Today was a tough one for me.  Why?  Ryan wasn't home with us so it should have been easy for me to not say anything negative to him right?  Well, when I got the phone call from him saying he was going to the er because he was injured at work, my flesh wanted to give him some negative comments, but I refrained from that.  After that one time, I thought about it for a minute, and really resolved to not say anything negative to him.  While sometimes it might be hard, I can get through this because "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."  Philippians 4:13

And I have a video for you today too:


Are you wondering why I am sharing this video?  Well, I have decided not to fight my love anylonger!  Yes, there will be struggles, and I have to say that God will bring me through those times.  God never promised that there wouldn't be raging waters, but he did promise to help us weather the storm.  Therefore, I leave you with this thought today:  LOVE IS NOT A FIGHT, BUT IT'S SOMETHING WORTH FIGHTING FOR.  Are you ready to fight for your love?  I know I am! 

See ya tomorrow for Love is Kind!

School is OUT!!!

Today was bittersweet for me.  I am happy its summer break, but that means we only have 2 years before we have a MIDDLESCHOOLER!  I cant believe we are that close already!  Both girls had a great day.  I got soaked walking to get Madispn, then the rain slacked off enough for me to have buckets of sweat rolling into my eyes!  It has been so humid here that i sweat as soon as i go outside let alone walk the more than 1/2 mile to her school.  We are starting a new walking track tomorrow... not sure how far but its gonna be fun to see

sad but true

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore Because the word "God" is mentioned...... A kid in Arizona wrote the attached NEW School prayer: Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd. If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights. And anytime my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now. Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene. The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice. For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all. In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state. We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks. They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable. We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,...
