It's been a good reminder

I didn't think I was jealous of John's successes.

But it's been a good reminder. Since Kathy, the church secretary, has been so helpful and nice to him and ignored me. She hasn't been to the last 3 small groups and I'm afraid I'm bugging her by sending the sorry-you-weren't-here-we-missed-you notes. She doesn't respond to any of my emails any more and that hurts - I thought she was my friend. Just gotta trust God on this one.

I have this weird thing with complimenting him. Like it will someone go to his head and make him think he doesn't have anything he needs to work on - how sick is that thought process?!

Day 8 - Jealousy

Today it's not about the healthy kind of jealousy where you want your beloved to love only you and no others; it's about the unhealthy kind where you are upset because he got something you wanted. At first I thought this didn't apply to me until the example about if your spouse is out having fun and you're home with chores - do you rejoice when his trip goes well? Ha!

Heavenly Father, help me be more aware when jealousy rears its head and repent right away. May I always want the best for John. Help me care, notice, and rejoice with him in his blessings.

Today's challenge is to destroy the bad list from day 7 and to talk to with your spouse about some recent triumph he's had and let him know I'm glad.
