Off Track

Somewhere in the last 2 weeks, I've gotten off track, lost my focus. The consequences? Juniper and I have slid back into that rut. I lose my patience quickly, she yells at me and slams her door. To make matters worse, she's been getting in trouble at school. This makes our mornings difficult because she REALLY doesn't want to go to school. It's not fair. Everything I've worked for...I'm so mad at myself.

Next Saturday, Keaton & David are going to spend the night with Grammie. (Thanks, Teresa!) Juniper & I get a girl's night together. What will we do, you ask? I don't care. As long as it involves spending time with my sweet girl and eating chocolate. One of my next tasks is to make a special dinner for her and spend that time focusing on her. We are really looking forward to our time together.

I will try my best to make this week better than it's been. I'll pray for her more, laugh with her more and have more patience.

Day 16...Love Intercedes

Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 2

Today's task was to pray for Juniper's heart, to pray for area's where I desire for God to work in her and our relationship.

I have begun praying for Juniper's mind and heart. She worries a lot so I want the Lord to ease her mind. I also want Him to know in her heart that she is truly loved.

God is so amazing and has really worked wonders in my relationship with Juniper. I've stopped beating myself up for not doing this blog every day. It seems to be working just fine the way I'm doing it.

Day 15...Love is Honorable

This task was to was to show honor and respect by doing things out of normal routine, such as holding the door open for her, helping her put her clothes away, etc. I'm supposed to show Juniper that she is highly esteemed in my eyes.

Okay. I skipped this one and I'll tell you why. Every day I strive to show Juniper respect and to honor her. Since I began this, I can tell that Juniper knows she means the world to me. She's always meant the world to me but now I've shown her that she does.
