The Love Dare Day One
Saturday evening, my husband and I watched a very good movie titled, Fireproof. We enjoyed the film a great deal and decided to purchase the book that is in the storyline. The Love Dare is a 40 day Christian devotional written by Stephen and Alex Kendrick. Although my husband was the one that asked me to find the book, I was equally as anxious to start reading the book. I decided to find the eBook so I wouldn’t have to wait on shipping or even driving to a store for a purchase. Generally speaking, I am patient, but sometimes, when I want something… I want it right now.
Sunday, I began my research to download the book. I was not pleased to see that the paperback book was cheaper than the eBook. Why is this? Someone explain. I bought the eBook from ChristianBook.com for $9.99. After authorizing Adobe Digital Editions on my computers, I was able to download the ePub onto our iPad and iPhones. I enjoy reading books on the iBooks application and it is very convenient to have my books on my iPad.
Yesterday afternoon, we made a verbal commitment to each other to read and complete The Love Dare, no matter how challenging it may be for us. My husband and I began reading The Love Dare today. Day 1 is called: Love is Patient and the dare involves being patient and not saying anything negative to my spouse. This evening, I filled out my journal entry by copying that page of the book on my iPad to the Notability application (my favorite note taking application) and then typing my response.
In retrospect, there were a few occasions where I could have said something negative but to be honest, nothing negative even came to mind. I could see that JT was making a great effort to be supportive and helpful today. I could do nothing but return the favor. I was able to fill today’s dare by not saying anything negative to my husband and JT did the same for me. I know not all days will be triumphant like today, but it is a great start to our 40 day challenge.
Hello, I to have started the love dare with my mate. Day 1 was not easy for us. We have been fighting for almost 7 months. Hard to think that we couldn’t say anything negative to each other when that’s all we knew. We are still pushing forward in our relationship. Feel free to visit my blog. Maybe we can follow each other on this dare. Support is always a good thing. Well with a little meditation added in. Well thank you for sharing your dare.
I have read the short version of this love dare. I loved it and ought to really have the book like this one you have.
