• Day 2 Evaluation

  Started off day 2 with good intentions, and thinking it will be easy since Sundays are so packed with activities. But God knows what pet peves has grown into my heart. Someone innocently came with good intentions but stirred up something still not entirely healed or cleansed inside of me. Rather than reacting with kindness, I allowed a small spark of anger and memory of something take over my spirit. The flesh can and will take charge if we don't let God's love and kindness take charge. After my small negative comment, I was reminded of this devo and commitment. I repented. I let it all go. The "unfairness" the "buts..." all submitted to God's truth. "TAke every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ." This is the LTS principle.

  Day 2 was extended, and it went pretty well. He and I had some nice verbal interaction. He's trying. Another issue I need to deal with is how we discipline, train, or equip our daughter in the "way she should go". This is the issue that sparked an avalanche within me. The straw that the camel's back.  The issue did come up a bit, but I did not feel pent up anger. I thank God for healing and cleansing. We were able to have a short exchange on our daughter's behavior.

  Kindness, how was I kind? I invited him to have fruit with me and Samantha, when he indicated he wanted dessert. He came. I pray that that is the spark of a growing family quality time.
