OK

Work should be ok today, since most of the coaches are out of town. Which is good because I have some things to get done. And then there's that whole working thing. I might try that also.

Nick and I are working through a book about the Dream Team for our ABF class. At the end of each chapter, it gives us kind of guidance for what to ask God for, as it relates to our marriage anyway. And then it wants us to record what he tells us. I've always thought that seemed kind of stupid b/c God doesn't talk to me. But last night when I was taking a shower, I sdtarted thinking about the things that Nick and I have problems with. Like that main things that we argue about and that I would say are issues in our marriage. And I know he would agree that it seems like we know exactly how to push each other's buttons. He has a problem with patience sometimes and I definitely test his patience a lot. And the arguments we have almost always seem to test me in the things I most need to work on. And it was like, all of a sudden I understood why God has put these things in our marriage. If our arguments help him become a more patient person and help me (in a lot of ways...I have lots of issues!), then it will be worth it. I'm just glad that I'm married to someone who also understands that and is committed to our relationship. So God (kind of anyway) talked to me! How exciting.
