I think I failed for today's love dare challenge....not because I didn't do it, I did, but because of my attitude and actions at the beginning of the day...I must've woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was just having one of "those" days, feeling sorry for myself and just being grumpy. Poor Ryan was trying to help cheer me up and figure out what was wrong with me and in return I was short and snappy with him...I honestly think I married one of the most tolerable and patient men in the world, and I'm pretty sure if I were him and had a significant other that acted like I do sometimes, I probably wouldn't have married them. Lol. Just sayin...
My dear sweet husband called me this afternoon just to tell me he loves me and ask me how I was doing...by this time I was crying and frustrated because the dogs were getting on my nerves with different things they were doing and Scarlet was challenging me in different ways (mostly physically because she was constantly crawling and getting into things she's not supposed to so I had to pick her up and take her to a different area over and over again). ...aside from these things, I was feeling sorry for myself because I don't exactly have any friends here in Virginia, sure im friendly with people and do things with others occasionally, but, I don't have a friend who's there for me to talk with and know that we're not just friends because we both have a kid or something lol...and I was stressing out about money because we literally only have enough in the bank to take care of a few of our bills right now and I was just getting upset over that and was again feeling frustrated that we can never seem to catch a break financially! Our motto has always been "we need to pay our tithing" cuz we know we're blessed because of it and will have enough to take care of us if we just keep being faithful, but goodness gracious, it's hard sometimes!!
But anyway enough of that rant, my point was that Ryan called me because he is a sweet sweet man and he helped me to know that everything is ok and we can get through everything together...then he did todays love dare (obviously without knowing he was doing it) and he asked me what he can do to help me(and he even asked what he can do to help me get my business started. Which was nice because he hasn't been very involved in it)....
This phone call humbled me because instead of getting over myself and my worries and woes and calling him up to see what I could do for HIM, he called ME out of the love and kindness of his heart...
I did call him later in the day to complete my dare, but really honestly feel like what he did for me taught me so much more than me doing the challenge did...
I just love that man!
