Summer is almost over...

Most months I look forward to summer, I love the weather, camping, fresh fruits and vegitables, kids being home, gardens, swimming, ect. This last week I was looking forward to the end of the summer. It seems that the summer has swallowed up all of my time and I am having a hard time making all my ends meet. I am constantly on the go and have lists to do...All things that I want to do.

It is so hard to stay in a routine during the summer. I have had a hard time working out at the gym, doing my daily devotions with the Lord, spending time alone with my husband, or even reading a book. This has got my mind planning for this fall. I am hoping to make some time for the above. A major priority for me is working out. It makes me feel better, helps me to stay focused and helps me to lost weight.

My goal is to work out 5 days a week. I want to work out before the kids go to school and before Richard goes to work. I am praying that the Lord gives me the desire and stregnth to excersize and continue on in the journey I call my life.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I thank you for granting me the desires of my heart. I praise you for all the wonderful things that you are doing in my life. Lord, I ask that you continue to plant the desires in me to become a healthier me. I want the energy to work out daily, I want to serve you in all that I do. I want what you have promised me. Lord, most of all I want to have a deeper more committed relationship with you. Please help me to make the time to do all that you have called me to. Also to make the time to relax and enjoy all that you have given me.

Amen

One of Those days...

Today is just one of those days. I don't feel like doing much of anything. I want to eat when ever I want too and how ever much I want. I dont want to track how much water I am drinking, as a matter of fact I want to drink my coke zero and coffee and that is it. I don't know the reason for having days like this, but I do have them.

Dear God,

Please change my attitude. Help me to want to take care of myself. Lord, I am not sure why I dont have any ambition. I want to follow you and continue towards the promises you have for me. Please lift me out of this pit.

Amen
