it wasnt hard at all . i enjoyed the challenge that really wasnt a challenge at all . he is such a great dad and husband i am usually just mean because i can be . so i was happy that i was able to let go of that mean part of me and let him know all the good things . i am sure i had my momments yesterday though where i could have been mean but all in all i was a wife who was sweet and understanding encouraging my hubby
i look forward to day two . i think after day one it shall all be a sinch... i dont read more then a day ahead so i am not even sure what day three will bring for a challenge ... wish me luck !!

day two
Day Two:
"...through love serve one another." Gal. 5:13b
How did you do yesterday with your first day of blessing and encouraging your
husband? Was it easy? Was it hard to hold your tongue when you wanted to say
something negative? We hope you're off to a good start. (If you blew it, don't give up -
start again today!) There are so many practical things you can praise, if you look for
them.
Today, find some way that your husband is serving you or your family. Does he help
around the house? Take care of the car? Fix things that are broken? If your budget
allows, give him a new, small tool with a big bow attached. But make sure he doesn't
think it's part of a "Honey Do" list!
Maybe your husband's not a handyman, but does he run errands for you? Let you go
first? Take care of you when you are sick? Help you make decisions? Praise him for his
willingness to serve others. Let him know that you see his unique service as a great
strength.

Character Makeover
this is a book that caught my eye in the family cristian store i shop at. It is a challenge to create the best you . this will be a 40 day challenge for me with god to make me stronger and grow in my faith. i will insert a little bit from the book . so you can get a better idea of what i am challenging my self to do.
"you can know everything there is to know about yourself, your potential, and your goals, but if you are hesitant about devoloping some of the essential character qualities it takes to fulfill your godly dreams( such as humility, generosity, and confidence), you'll get derailed from your life's calling at every turn."
so i hope you join me on this challenge . for those of you who want to you will have to pick the book up. i will try to post as much of each challenge that i am doing but it is hard due to it being so many . i will be posting my reactions and some of what i had to do each challenge.

day one in my 30 day challenge
Day One:
"The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does
him good and not evil all the days of her life." Prov. 31:11-12
To refresh your memory...here's the 30-Day Encouragement Challenge...for the next 30
days:
* You can't say anything negative about your husband ...to your husband...or to anyone
else, about your husband.
* Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband...to your
husband...and to someone else, about your husband!
To help you get started, have you ever thanked your husband for "choosing you" above
all other women? He found you attractive as a person, and appreciated you. Though
many circumstances in your marriage may have changed, let your husband know that
you are glad God led you together, and that you want to be a blessing to him for the rest
of your marriage. Let him know that he can trust you to be in his corner.
One of the best opportunities to express your gratitude is first thing in the morning. How
do you greet your husband each morning? Is he confident in your love? Give him a
"wake up call" that he'll never forget-a big "I love you" and an "I'm so glad I'm your wife!"
