The Gym, Work and Esther

The gym will be seeing A LOT more of me from now on. No more of this working out two OR three days a week. My Bible will be seeing a lot more of me too which means that Jesus is about to be entertained with my thoughts Big Time.

So much grabbed my attention yesterday at Church listening to Beth Moore on video tape. If you are doing the Beth Moore Esther Bible Study I am referring to Esther 6:6-11 on pages 152 and 153.

“Am I willing to do the work to see the wonder?”

I stepped on the scale last night and it said I was 5 lbs away from being 190 lbs. That really irks me! I do not want to get bigger. I want to get smaller.

I have to be willing to do the work to see the wonder.. right?

Sure, right now I’m thinking it would be Wonderful to be smaller. My goal is to get down to 140 lbs. That would be getting a lot of ME back.

What am I going to do about it? I’m going to WORK. I’m going to do my VERY best to hit the gym every single day. I might take a break on Sunday.

Monday I did the 12:15 spin class and by the time it was over with I had ridden 11 miles. Last week I rode 11 miles before Aunt Flow came to visit. (I know TMI)

Yesterday I want to the gym and started working out at 4:30. By the time I was done it was 6:00 PM. I had ran-walked two miles and did sit-ups, and weights in between. Today I am going to the 12:15 spin class again. I hear the guy that teaches this class is Hard. I’m looking forward to seeing how much I can do in this class and if I’ll be able to hit what seems to be my own personal mark: 11 miles.

I want to know Jesus more too. If I want to know Him more I need to take the time to read what he has to say to me. That means having my nose stuck in my Bible every single day. I have this desire to want to know what it is more and more.

“I am willing to do the work in order to see the wonder.”

    You & I seem to be SO much alike! I’m with ya on the weight, the Word, and the world! I wish I had known you in school. Of course, I wasn’t anywhere CLOSE to how I am now. Shy & withdrawn then, some people can hardly believe I’m the same person!

    I don’t believe in coincidence. God places people in our lives for specific reasons. I’m glad he put you & me together! I’m praying for your family.
