336/260

I was wondering if you might be thinking whats with the numbers as a title thing. I have been exercising for 336 days. Doing the Can you 24 DVD an average of 3 times a week for that many days. The second number is when I started another 24 day challenge with some friends. So 260 days ago I had some friends that joined me in doing these things. Some are still out there doing exercises. Some have quit doing them or off doing something else. Am I sad? Not for the reasons you would think though. I loved having people there to exercise with me, to walk on this journey. Sometimes we have to walk alone on it though to truly get to where we need to be. Its fun to have others but then we rely on them and not God to get us through. I have been shown that more lately than ever before. I think "doesn't ANYONE want to be healthier?" Then I realize I planted a seed here and there and eventually I will see that they have changed a bad habit or continued exercising. Its Gods timing not mine. I could have had a pity party but I am blessed beyond anything I have ever known before. I have a place to gather and exercise with friends. (Thanks New Life Community Church!) I have continued encouragement from the people who know the journey I am on. I have no desire to quit but sometimes, like today I thought do I really want to crawl out of bed at 545 am to go to a cold car, then to drive into town? I talked myself out of it last night really. What a whiner I am. LOL I can exercise here at home but then no one sees  my commitment to what I want to do. I want others to see my love for being healthy and making better choices. If I can do it anyone can do it. That sounds so funny when you say it. If you truly knew me you would understand. I used to love nothing better than setting down with a big bag of chips and dip and my mt dew and watching an afternoon of soaps. God has changed all that. I have so many things I want to do because God has inspired me I will need to live to 150. I think of a Ferris Bueller quote.“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

People focus on the road ahead but really if you take a look to the left or right you can see the beauty God has put along this path. So even though I was focused on the road I am slowing down to stop and look around and see where those seeds I planted might need some tending. I am not what this is all about. God put this on my heart. I am not here on my own to save the world. I am doing things God has given me the power to do. So here's another quote for you....."after all tomorrow is another day." There are people who need to be inspired. We have work to do.
