Day 27: Love encourages

Today's Dare: Eliminate the poison of unrealistic expectations in your home. Think of one area were your spouse has told you you're expecting too much, and tell them you are sorry for being so hard on them about it. Promise them you'll seek to understand and assure them of your unconditional love.

God's Word says: Guard my soul and deliver me; do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in you. Psalm 25:20

  1. OUCH. I know exactly which "one" thing I have unrealistic expectations about without even asking Daniel. But I am so thankful to say that God has been working in this area drastically over the past 2 years, and especially over the past few months. God is transforming my husband into a God fearing, God loving man. It is amazing. I know that I still need to let go of my expectations and this is one of the hardest things for me to do. My unmet expectations are what get me upset the most in life...and unfortunately, I have expectations about EVERYTHING it seems like! LOL

  2. God is so good. And amazing. Just after posting this, Daniel came home from meeting a friend for breakfast. Their talk quickly turned to Daniel's faith...and let's just say...we serve an AWESOME God who WANTS to answer our prayers!! That's all. <3

  3. God is so good-it is truly amazing! I'm not sure what "1" thing this is yet-I'll keep praying about it. I know I have to have some expectation that is not exactly what Richard is or does.
