The term healthy is used to describe many things these days. Healthy eating, healthy body, healthy relationships, Healthy this, and healthy that. So in my quest to be more....ummm well...healthy, I have made some small changes to my daily life. I gave up drinking pop, I am eating foods that are healthier for me and I started to work out. This change did not come from me making a new years resolution, I don't do new years resolutions. But this came from many years of me asking God to give me more self discipline in my life. The eating habits and working out habits are not the only area of my life that needed a make over. See my insides needed a make over too. I knew that I needed to do a better job of managing my time, managing my walk with Christ, managing our money. See I have found when I am lacking self discipline in one area of my life... there is usually several that need a pick me up.

So through the course of the last 2 weeks I have learned a lot about myself, my ministry and God. It took a small thing like giving up coke to bring some other pretty major changes in my life. I know I am only 2 weeks in and anything can happen. But I am praying that each day I realize the potential of the day when I practice living within my means, walking with the Lord, and eating what is good for me. I feel better, I interact better with those around me and I know I am doing my best.

Long story short- 2 weeks in I have lost 9 pounds, but I have gained so much more!  ( and I am not talking about weight! :) )
