Hello, friends. This has been a not-so-good weekend. I have had some stress that was completely unnecessary (and stupid to be blunt). I have done VERY poorly this weekend. I have fallen. Yes, I have.
Tomorrow I get back up. Yes, I will. I will be going to the Y tomorrow afternoon before going to church for fellowship and my class.
Today at church, Matt Dickerson said a beautiful prayer about coming to a place where we need to make a decision. I know he was referring to making a decision about following God, but it hit home. Big time. My decision is this: even though my lenten journey didn't go exactly the way I had planned, and I didn't do as well as I thought I could I am going to continue. There are always going to be things getting in our way. Work happens. Kids have things to do and we are gonna have to hit the fast food joint. Stress comes into our lives. People get sick and we get devastating news about loved ones. We will have those people in our lives that beat us down, tell us we shouldn't do this or that, tell us it's not worth it and question why we are doing something. Still, we need to continue.
So that is what I am doing tomorrow. I am getting my eating back on track. I am going to the Y after the kids get home and I am going to walk, ride, and do some of the machines. I am getting back up. I prayed to God to show me what to do, to show me some help. He sent help in the form of Mr. Matt Dickerson with that awesome prayer to kick me back on track. Praise God! Make decisions when we come to that fork in the road.
You tell 'em ! Honestly, that's really the only thing any individual can do - be responsible for yourself. You can't control how others will act, but you CAN control how much you let it disturb your path. So says me, anyway.
