2.19.13 - Day #7
Physical activity: 2 mile run on the hamster wheel with an incline of 1. I read this better simulates the conditions of running outside. Still kept my pace under 10 minutes. I also trained my triceps. Basically pulldown movements using cables. I also used supersets and circuits with limited rest time between supersets.
My mood: Today was a GOOD day!*in my Ice Cube voice* I felt pretty sharp and had a few meetings all over Columbus. I definitely was productive and added to the discussions. I felt strong in my thought processes and on point with my suggestions. I would say I am back to normal with the exception of some tummy growling. But you know me...I played it off by asking the woman next to me if it was her stomach or mine.LOL Yep...sure did.:-)
My devotions:
Joel Osteen:
Revelations/Lessons/Thoughts: My thoughts for today were about the I Declare Day #7 that I have in the picture above. It took me a long time to get to the point where I am just now beginning to accept God's timing. I was raised by Christian parents but never was told specifically how much God was in control. To give my parents an out of sorts, they had my bother and I starting at ages 21 and 19. So they themselves were babies raising babies. But, I am glad God gave us to them. Because they are still married and modeled a safe, welcoming two parent home with rules and regulations. I don't want to get off topic but that deserves some praise in this day and time regarding marriage.
Back on topic, I have finally realized through meditation and great mentoring that God's timing is ALWAYS perfect. If I were to have what I wanted when I wanted it, I would mess it up or would not glorify the giver. Can we say spoiled brat syndrome!LOL I have learned that God lives where I end. When I can't take anymore...when it makes not sense..when I can't fix it on my own. Only then does his timing become perfect because I realize it was not by my will, my efforts or thoughts that things happened.
God gets the glory, honor and praise when I stop looking at what I want and start understanding he knows what's best for me and when it's best for me. So if I am smart, I stop looking at my why nots and whens and ask God for peace, mercy, grace and endurance. It makes sense to not concentrate on what I can not control but to concentrate on the one who's in control of everything. Definitely a better plan of action that I am still working on.:-)
Godspeed,
Nard
Good Stuff!!!
