Yesterday was a hard day for me. Fear and doubt filled my mind. Well all day I kept hearing "Trust in you" by Lauren Daigle. So I said ok and gave it over to God. Then randomly last night my husband asked to come over to talk about somethings. When he came it turns out his mom gave him The Love Dare and he's been sitting on it for almost a week. He decided that he wanted to give it a try. He said he's not sure it'll work out but he's willing to try. Oh how good the Lord is to me! The rest of the night was effortless.

I think he has Mary. I've seen it too but we both watched it at different times. I really loved that movie. So today is our official day 1 of the challenge. It's not saying anything negative to each other all day even if we're angered or upset. I was tested this morning because he realized he double booked on saturday. He had our dinner date and plans to celebrate a friend's bday. He asked me to switch plans and to go Sunday instead. I was annoyed but didn't react in anger. I communicated how I felt about coming 2nd and always switching my plans but didn't criticize him. I then agreed to change days and went on to talk about other things. This is gonna be a real battle but I'm ready for it. God will make away.

Oh and this morning he woke up and told me about a dream he had. He had a dream that we were headed somewhere but we were gonna use seperate cars and when I was getting in mine he notices a guy drive up and talk to me. So he comes by and asks what he wants and says, "just asking her to dinner". And my husband responded in different words but basically saying she's mine, you need to find someone else.
I was so happy to hear it because it shows his heart and how much love he still has for me! The Lord is really moving!

Thank you all. I am joyful but I'm reminding myself that God has to come before my husband. I also am planning on praying as much as I can, more if possible, and fasting starting next week. With the lease almost being up and him still in sin I know there's still work God has to do.

It will be hard, but his willingness to work on your marriage is huge! Tony has been home for 3 months & still doesn't want to work on our realationship.. It's extremely hard.. I believe God is getting him there, tho. I'm so glad you realize that the battle is going to be a bit more amped up & u will need to also amp up your godly weapons!! So wise

Knowing it and practicing it ate two different things though. I pray and hope that I can keep it up now that I'll have my husband and our friend here too. Although, maybe that will cause me to pray more often lol I'm sure it will. God really moves in mysterious ways.

I know it's hard to do, but try to let go of the concern about the lease and put that in Gods hands. I promise you, when I get anxious about money and I dwell on it, I have to fix it myself, but God has always come through when I let it go to Him! He wants to provide for you
