also, something i realized. right now i am so enjoying the practice of dicipline. its so good. i am working out, waking up early to spend time with the lord, being diligent and faithful with the tasks i have at work. i often have these times where i just am really..."together". and i directly attribute it to the fact that i've been praying "god, give me strength to do this things. help me be diciplined". but usually what happens is a month from now i'm not doing any of these things. and i had the realization as i was leaving the gym today that this usually occurs when i stop praying for the lord to help me. its like i somehow think that i just need a little shove from god and then i'll just do it on my own. but the fact is, i don't want to do any of these things! its only by his goodness that he helps me do them, because my desire is to please god by spending time with him and being faithful with what he has given me (my time, my money, my body, ect). so, my resolve is to not stop praying. to realize that god is not just some thing that gives me a kick-start so i can be diciplined. this is going somewhere i just don't want to process anymore. on the internet.
also, i love this song right now. "everything" by tim hughs. get it.
God in my living There in my breathing God in my waking God in my sleeping God in my resting There in my working God in my thinking God in my speaking Be my everything Be my everything Be my everything Be my everything God in my hoping There in my dreaming God in my watching God in my waiting God in my laughing There in my weeping God in my hurting God in my healing Christ in me Christ in me Christ in me the hope of glory You are everything Christ in me Christ in me Christ in me the hope of glory Be my everything
