My life has been very hectic as of late and as such the first thing to go for me is exercise. I would rather get the other things done. Until this changes in my life my weight will always be a challenge for me. Until I decide that exercise and a well balanced diet comes first as a daily chore before things like errands and sleep I will never be the size I want to be. Now as a part of this challenge this goal or pursuit if you will I need to daily decide what is most important and what is best for my life, which should always be my health.
So as we move through the weeks, I ask you to hold me accountable, to choose exercise over sleeping for just a bit longer.
This is the same concept as your daily time with the Lord, so many times when our lives get out of control or get to busy the first thing we put on the shelf is our Bibles and we leave them there until it is convenient for us again. Just like with exercise we will never get where we want with out daily being engrossed in the Word of Christ, with out His daily guidance our day just wont go right.
So a new challenge has just been formed, along with daily saying I am going to exercise instead of sleep, first wake and read some scripture, spend a few moments quietly speaking with God, then move on to exercise. See if it makes your day easier, see if you feel healthier and happier through the day, see if you dont struggle as much to put the important things first. Let me know how it changes your life.
Good luck! I will let you know how it changes mine.
