30 day challenge

So, I need to be more encouraging as a wife. I struggle with thinking negatively and speaking negatively to my husband. That's why I'm embarking on this challenge and documenting it here. Day One: Here we go.

The challenge:

* You can't say anything negative about your husband . . . to your husband, or to anyone else.

* Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband . . . to your husband . . . and to someone else.

Day One:

Day One:
"The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does
him good and not evil all the days of her life." Prov. 31:11-12
To refresh your memory...here's the 30-Day Encouragement Challenge...for the next 30
days:
* You can't say anything negative about your husband ...to your husband...or to anyone
else, about your husband.
* Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband...to your
husband...and to someone else, about your husband!
To help you get started, have you ever thanked your husband for "choosing you" above
all other women? He found you attractive as a person, and appreciated you. Though
many circumstances in your marriage may have changed, let your husband know that
you are glad God led you together, and that you want to be a blessing to him for the rest
of your marriage. Let him know that he can trust you to be in his corner.
One of the best opportunities to express your gratitude is first thing in the morning. How
do you greet your husband each morning? Is he confident in your love? Give him a
"wake up call" that he'll never forget-a big "I love you" and an "I'm so glad I'm your wife!"

Thoughts on today: Today was hard. I don't think I really realized completely how negatively I spoke to Sean until I had to abstain from it. I mean, I knew I was negative but there is nothing like having to abstain from something to realize how often you do it. It was good to see a tiny change in heart though - because when you are intentional about thinking and doing positive things toward people - you can't help but see your attitude toward them change. He thanked me for telling him thank you for choosing me ... and though it is not about the thanks, that was nice. Anyway, it's late and I'm writing this covertly so he doesn't see me. So sorry if it doesn't make much sense. Until tomorrow. Much love.
