Food, Fitness and Faith - Day 8 of 21

Everyday we make thousands of small choices about what we do and what we think, usually without much thought. I'm like most people and spend most of my day reacting. Somehow I ended up with this book. I don't believe that was for any other reason except God is asking me to slow down and think about the choices I make.

What am I learning? Here I am on Day 8. Am I applying what I'm learning to improve me personally, spiritually or physically? No, not really. Although, I have learned enough to know I can't fool God. Every step in my life is a choice and my choices are determining the quality of my journey.

None of my friends are as overweight as I am. But, when I think of the people I know that have healthy habits, the list is small. Now, if you're a friend of mine, please don't take this wrong. I definitely have friends who eat right and exercise regularly. Well, at least one does. Regular exercise is different than being active. Although I have learned that a short walk and a small healthy meal is much better than a full meal and no walk.

Here's my prayer for today.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please help me! I'm not that dense. I understand what you're saying. Please help me to follow your commandments. Please help me get it - not just understand the words, but learn to live by them.

In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
