Deep Thoughts

I have spent the last few days thinking very hard about all that I said in my last blog. The Love Dare did not exactly give me the husband that love and adores me with every breath he takes.

Let me put it like this. I think that what the dare gave me was little taste of what God must feel like. He created us and gave us very simple guide lines. We failed and turned away. God said okay, but I will wait for you. And He waited. Then he finally said I will come down there and show you. Enter Jesus. He spent his whole life guiding and leading be example. And in the end when we denied him he out stretched his arms and gave the very last thing he had for us, his life. I spent forty days trying to put my husband first. His needs and his desires. In the process he ignored. Didn't notice and I kept trying to show him.

Did he get it? I am not sure it has sunk in yet. I have told him about the Dare and all that it entailed. However, I think it will take him a little time to process. I learned from the Dare that you never give up on love. You just give more. We just keep trying. There will be good days when the doors we knock on are answered, and bad days when they wont open at all. But just as God continually waits for us , we must wait for those we love.

On a lighter note, we are trying to potty train Max. It isn't even lunch and he is on his fourth pair of pants!
