Day 1

As Satan would have it, I woke up feeling very SELF absorbed and ME oriented today. Then I was reminded that the Love Dare starts NOW!

So, i first must say good bye to three friends who have been seriously influencing me for a long time. Me, MySelf and I. There is no room for them in this process, so they've got to go.

Dear me, mySelf and I. It has been a pleasure, in a sick sort of way, bowing and pandering to you. However, times have changed and there is not enough room in my heart for unconditional love and SELF. The two can't coexist, so you'll have to take up residence elsewhere.

Looking forward to life without you,

Loretta

Now, for the Love Dare. Something that jumped out at me from today's reading was this, "It's a choice to control your emotions rather than allowing your emotions to control you." Today, the Spirit of God will control my emotions. My emotions (which happen to be all over the place today) will NOT control me.

Today's Dare:

Say nothing negative to your spouse at all. If the temptation arises, choose not to say anything. It's better to hold your tongue than to say something you'll regret. (The Love Dare, p.4)

Ready, Set, LOVE!

Question: Do you struggle with negativity? Would your hubby say that you "remind" (nag) him?
