can i change part 2
okay so it’s tuesday, march 2nd and its snowing in atlanta for at least the third time this winter. it should not get too bad because it’s not that cold outside. anyway i’m on a little journey this year 2010 to make some changes. for me it’s really an issue of being more discipline in the BIG 4 areas of my life; spiritually, physically, emotionally, and psychologically.
back on january 6th i wrote a blog entitled can I change, you can find it here! so here is the follow-up to that post or part 2. oh by the way these blog posts are just me dealing with stuff in my life, if they encourage or help you that’s great but really it just stuff I desperately need God to change in my life.
so how is the change going so far? and what I believe God is changing in me? what he wants to change and see in the form of discipline in my life!
some of the God changes i’m praying about and working towards by the power of the holy spirit are:
1. lose 50 lbs and keep it off to be able to get hip replacement surgery this year in june.
2. discipline to work out the right amount every week.
3. spend less time in front of the tv and more time reading for growth as a leader.
4. spend as much time with my kids, cheering for them, studying the word with them and praying together.
5. serving my wife more by cleaning the bathroom, and other areas that help out around the house and life.
6. worrying more about what God thinks about me than people around me.
7. and not worrying about trying to keep all this stuff I think somehow I have gotten.
so march 2 how am I doing? i have lost about 11 pounds, I have been in the gym about every other day until the middle of february when I allowed some travel and laziness to cause me to to drop back to once a week. so i’m headed to the gym tonight to work towards that continuing to change. cleaned the bathroom yesterday, watched my middle son play high school soccer last night and planning a father/daughter date asap with ariah who is a senior this year at grady high school. i did turn the tv off last night and go to bed. so baby steps, long way to go, I think God would give me a B-. I’ll keep you posted how God is changing me. I can change, or maybe better said God can change me!
let me know what you think?
Go Tim! Go!
Praying for you man. You can do it and God want you to.
I’m with you….. less TV -more reading for me and no sodas!
Love you man!
