Day 4, 5, 6??

I'm still lost on my days, catching up and staying on the correct day wasn't as easy as I thought, but I am continuing to do the challenges, maybe just not in the correct order...

I was a little uncomfortable about doing the muscle challenge. It just felt really awkward to me for some reason. Turns out...it wasn't! It was easy to slip in a comment about his "manly muscles" as I laid down to snuggle against him last night, fit right in and didn't sound dumb at all! I definitely didn't miss the little smile on his face afterwards either...success again!

It also gave us a good opportunity to discuss our "fight" the other morning and I was able to communicate to him why it meant so much to me when he helped me out with things like that...rather than accuse him of not doing enough, never helping, the usually complaints that usually produce negative energy between us. It was a good conversation and I feel so much better.

A lot of times at nights we will be watching our separate programs on tv because our interests are not quite the same (believe it or not!) So last night, even though I suggested what I wanted to watch (which he of course vetoed) I laid with him and watched a program with him of his choice. Who knew I would enjoy it so much? And what was great was that I truly did! I might have been more caught up in it than he was...go figure.

So I think I'm caught up to day 7 now where I leave him a note.

Lesson #7

Leave a note for your husband that says, "Thank you for wanting to work hard for our family. Your desire & commitment makes me feel secure". Words are healing. Proverbs 16:24 says, "Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."

Hang in there. You are halfway through! Keep an open heart toward God. Let God act on your behalf in response to these plans. Proverbs 16:9 says, "The mind of a man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps". http://womensmarriageministry.blogspot.com/

Shouldn't be to hard...I use to leave him little notes all the time and somewhere along the line quit doing it. Halfway through and going great so far!

(ok off subject...I also need help...how to I make so that websites I post are a link? Apparently I'm not great with blogging yet and can't figure it out!)
