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!

MEMORY FULL....

So,after not falling asleep until well after 2am this morning, I got up at 8, and got the kids ready, packed the van and we were off to Mom's for Maddie's party.... So, I made sure I didn't forget my camera. That was a major thing... so, we get there and the castle jump was already there. The girls went and got in it right away, I started taking pics. After just 5 pictures, a screen says, Memory Full. I had forgotten my memory card. And since I had to go to walmart for mom anyway, I got a disposable camera to do the party with. So, no pics til I get them developed and then I have to scan them to the desktop so I can then download them here... Long process but you will like the pics (i think). Anyway, I am off. TTYL! Dawn

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
