The Love Dare

I was at the library looking in the religious section when I spotted the Love Dare. I decided to pick it up and work through the book. The first few days were really easy. But then it said "Love is not irritable." Oh... I have to work on that. It is really nice to be doing it. I think it will improve our marriage. It is a marriage saver type of deal. I don't think our marriage is in any danger but it is nice to do something that helps direct my focus back to God and the reasons why marriage exists.

Alone

Sometimes marriage can be lonely. You forget what loneliness feels like and then you feel it. You can feel so alone even with a baby attached to you 24/7. I just have this lonely ache right now as I wait for my husband to get home from visiting friends.

It's Been A While

It's been a while since I've posted. It's also been a while since I had an awesome encounter with God. Well, maybe I have had encounters with God lately, it has just looked different. I'm not caught up in emotions and feelings. That makes me feel kind of unfeeling, cold. But God has been doing a lot in my life. I see His blessings pouring out. Financial well-being, physical well-being, a healthy baby, a wonderful husband. Even the things that I was not satisfied with in my life have been changing. I wanted to read my Bible more and my husband suggested that we start reading a chapter each night. We haven't been reading every day but it has been great to open the Bible a few times a week instead of a couple times a month. God has given me the heart to give financially to fellow Christians in need through Samaritan Ministries. I see how my life has changed drastically and realize that my role as a Christian is changing too.
