WeekENDs

Can't believe how fast this weekend went!!! Yesterday wasn't nearly as productive as today was, except that we skipped church. We did some healthy grocery shopping to stock up for the next couple of weeks. Chopped veggies and boiled eggs for snacks too. I bought fish for dinner a few nights too, although I'm not really a fish person... I intend to become one!  I got most of the apartment put back together, just need to put away laundry and start some more.

Tomorrow starts day 1 of my "Body by Vi" 90 day challenge. A friend of mine who is doing it to let me bum enough shake mix for tomorrow, my shipment is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I'm going to try to get up and get to the gym first thing, but if not I will be taking a bag to school so I can do it before I even get home. It's time to change my life. I deserve to have my outside match my inside.

Thoughts on today:

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE
 There are no shortcuts to maturity.
God views our lives from and for eternity, so he is never in a hurry.
Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ.
Real maturity is never the result of a single experience, no matter how powerful or moving.
Jesus is deliberate in developing his disciples.
We are slow learners. We often have to relearn a lesson forty or fifty times to really get it.
We have a lot to unlearn. While you were given a brand new nature at the moment of conversion, you still have old habits, patterns, and practices that need to be removed and replaced.
We are afraid to humbly face the truth about ourselves. The fear of what we might discover if we honestly faced our character defects keeps us living in the prison of denial.
Growth is often painful and scary. There is no growth without change; there is no change without fear or loss; and there is no loss without pain. People often build their identity around their defects.
Habits take time to develop. Your character is the sum total of your habits.
Believe God is working in your life even when you don't feel it.
Keep a notebook or journal of lessons learned.
Be patient with God and with yourself. God is never in a hurry, but he is always on time. Great souls are grown through struggles and storms and seasons of suffering.
Don't get discouraged. A delay is not a denial from God.
PLEASE BE PATIENT, GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ME YET.

BIBLE IN A YEAR
No passages today.

FLYLADY
I guess I'm going to take this off of my list. I am really good at keeping things clean, it was just getting started on what I felt was clutter that I needed the extra guidance.

COUCH-TO-5K
Obviously didn't get this done today. I will be downloading new music and preparing for "battle" this week. I have to believe I can do this in my brain before my body will believe it.
