decisions

Sometimes making decisions is easy but not all the time.  Sometimes the out come is good but not all the time.  For instance, I love the Olympics and want to watch until they go off at night.  Well then that means less sleep.  I still have to get up in the morning.

Shopping on line is sometimes a good thing if you live way out in the hill country like I do, but not all the time.  It is too easy to buy things you really don't need.

Then there are really big decisions like moving to a different house or buying a house, whether or not to go back to school or changing jobs, etc.

What about the decision to spend more time reading God's word or spending more time in prayer?  That is a good decision and the out come is even greater!

Olympics

I really enjoy the Olympics.  I get so excited watching the games, races, etc.  My family was able to attend the Olympic games in Atlanta.  That was such a wonderful experience being around people from all over the world.  I am not much of an athelete but I can Hoola Hoop!  (It has to do with the live it I am on!)

You know God has set a race before us.  One we need to race with endurance.  Sometimes we get out of breath just like the swimmers and hurdle jumpers.  It is a little different though.  We run out of breath because we don't spend the time we need to be spending in God's Word!  Those competing in the Olympics just didn't wake up last week and decide to compete.  They have been preparing and practicing for years.
How much practice/preparation are we doing?

Something to think about.

FOOD

I like food.  I like to eat.  I think I am hungry all the time.  I just finished lunch and though it was not a big lunch it was more than some get all day.  I think I am hungry now.  I need to loose some weight so my clothes will fit better.  So the terrible word diet is now being said.  I liked the way Richard Simmons always said it--Live it not diet.  Well sometimes I don't feel like I am living it if I can't have chocolate, hot rolls, candy bars, chocolate, etc!

We need to "Live it" but not just for chocolate.  We need to "Live it" for Jesus.  He wants us be about serving others, praising Him, spending time in His word.  Living for Jesus is a good thing.  I am going to do my best to "Live it" for Him.

A hot fudge sundae sounds good about now! (How easily I get distracted!)
