Downward Slope

Oh yes, we are on one.  One full week into my mission and my transforming husband is reverting back.  Less than a week truthfully.  I am still remaining faithful this blogject is not in vain.  I. will. Perservere.  The immediate and easy metamorphasis I believed my husband to be a part of is now over. 
No I am certainly not quitting.  Yes, I was initially surprised at how quickly the changing began.  I now believe the Lord was showing me what I would be missing out on if I don't work hard and pray for our marriage.  The devil has been here the past few days urging me to not write, exibiting simply how easy it would be to revert to my old ways before the blogject.  I can't say the temption was never there.  Instead of giving in like I would have done, I prayed.  When these moments present themselves, I whisper a prayer to God asking him to push be back onto the right track.  The track leading to Him, not the track going astray.
It would be so easy to say my husband has been back to his annoying self.  The one who doesn't think things through, the one who puts himself first.  That was...before this blogject.  I am an equal partner in this marriage.  I could see myself slipping away from the worker so diligently intent on this blogject just seven days ago.  I am back.  I'm back with a vengeance.   I have sipped from the cup of a sweet marriage and want more. 

One Good Thing My Husband Did Today:  Let us decorate the house a little bit before going to get the part for his car.

  1. Remember Tammy, just like a newborn baby, step...step...step...bam!! ;) It's gonna be like that for him, too. And your right behavior will win him over. You're doing great...and your "old Man" will definitely put up a fight at what the "new Man" inside you is doing! It's not always the Devil; sometimes, it's simply our sin nature, fighting so hard against us.
