We didn't quite make it today. No apologies here. It was a busy weekend and I shortened my nap yesterday so I could get a full half hour of devotions in. Today that didn't happen. I did my Bible reading and devotional reading and a shortened prayer time, but no journaling and I looked at the Sunday ads for awhile because my mind just wasn't in the Bible. Then my husband came in and we talked; we'd been out all day and were soon heading out again. Maybe I'll journal at bedtime, but I'm not going out of my way to get 30 minutes tonight. I was definitely out of sorts this afternoon, but I feel better now.
We had small group tonight, and started talking about exactly what I'd started here. It would have been oh-so-appropriate to say I started a blog about my goals and progress, but I'm not ready for that yet.
On another positive note, I exercised Thursday and Friday last week. My goal will be 5 days a week next month, so I'm not worried about Saturday or today. I did what I call "leg exercises", which is just strength training, on Friday. Tonight I felt the need to walk around a bit during small group. When I started to stretch a bit, my legs cramped up! Maybe I started with just a tad too much enthusiasm. Oh well. :)
But I'm feeling better now about my goals. I was having to remind myself earlier this week that this isn't about bondage to rules, but about freedom. Freedom to live the life I really want. And it's my choice. How beautiful is that?!
