I have not included all of the rest of the love dare. There are two reasons, first of all I got behind and second I have not yet finished. Christian was out of town a lot and it was harder to complete with him away. I have though noticed something different. I am much more willing to worry about him than myself. I still fall in the pit of selfishness, but it is significantly less.
It is amazing what a change that has occured in my life. I always heard that service was a good thing, that you get more out of it than you put it, and so on. I always atributed that to other people -- not my family. As sad as it is, I think worrying for the people you see every day is harder. You have to work much more to constantly be selfless and patient.
I am so grateful for my family each day. I love each of my children so much it amazes me I am capable of so much love. I adore my husband and the example he sets for our family. He sets such a wonderful tone for the home. I strive each day to be as calm and collected with the kids as he is. I am definately the impatient parent.
The Love Dare was one of the best things I could have ever done. It really changed me. It sounds like I'm a comercial, but it is true. I cannot go back to the old me anymore. It is not enough!
