I sit here amazed once again! Funny story... I got this book more for entertainment. LOL who is laughing now? Well I guess I can say I am entertained but not in the way I thought. Today's dare was to demonstrate patience and say nothing negative to your spouse... ROFLMBO. This chapter went on to talk about being slow to speak slow to get angry. If you know me at all you know anger is an issue I deal with almost on a daily basis weather it be toward the girls Jonathan or some other unknowing person. I know that this is my core sin and for me it is a hard one to control. So this is why its so funny to me. The book warned against taking it lightly and I did anyways! Guess thats what I get! :/
I actually did really well with the kids on this issue today in fact I had a very complicated issue come up with my older two girls that on a normal day I probably would have been quick to punish as severely as possible but instead I took a VERY BIG deep breath thought for a minute and then chose my course of action. I was quite proud of me. As for Jt not so much we were discussing how to deal with and punish for the "broken rule" and when I didn't like his opinion instead of taking a moment to think and respond in a positive way I just disagreed in a very firm way! Im am bummed on myself for it, but like the book says don't give up keep going and don't check off the dare until you have completed it! Oh also it said its better to say nothing then to act in anger! Wish I could get that concept!! So here's to a new day and a whole new chance at my dare! Here's to hoping! and praying ;) wish me luck!
