So, Steven and I recently wanted to start a devotional with each other! We didn't know where to start! I had the movie Fireproof, and I thought that would be a good movie for us to watch together. After we watched it, the next day we went to Barnes & Nobles looking for some books for Aiden. We ended up browsing the Christian section, and came across "The Love Dare". They were two sets of books, a forty day journey, and a year journey. We decided to devote our self to the year journey! I thought that it would be great to blog about it also, so I can go back and see what I have learned from it, and maybe a young couple would want to try and do the same thing!
So far, we are only a week into it! We started a new week yesterday. The first week came with a weekly prayer, it was to ask GOD to teach you how to love and be a loving person. I felt like my heart was tested this week. Almost a year ago, I lost one of my friends over some things here and there, not going into details! Anyways, I recently talked to Steven about her, and he said that I needed to forgive her in my heart, and not have hatred towards her. That night when I said my prayer, I prayed for her and her son. Hours later, I received an email from her. It stated that she wanted me to forgive her and not hate her. I thought that was so crazy, the fact that Steven and I talked about how I don't need any hatred on my heart. It was a test from GOD, at least it was for me! If you knew the background behind things. So, I slept on it, reread it in the morning and replied back. A year ago, I would of ignored or deleted the email, but I responded, in a kind, loving way. I feel like the first week was a success! Hopefully lol!
We are on week two, so I will see what the next week brings!
