Day 11: Yoga...for the birds...Numbers...counting the raindrops!

Ok...so I don't like the Yoga portion of this workout. I am adding the Ab Ripper later in the day today so I can really feel like I sweat and got a good workout. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying the Yoga is easy...just don't like it...and it doesnt feel the same as the other workouts. I am enjoying this overall...seeing the results already. small but results still the same.

I began reading in the Book of Numbers today. It was like reading the leading military strategy in a war on terror. The number of troops, lined up for battle...yet this battle is for God's Kingdom on earth. It made me pause and wonder:

Are we fighting the battle, as God's chosen people in this day and age, for His kingdom here on earth like the Israelites? I mean, there are a lot of battles going on these days...but are we fighting the right ones? Are we winning the battles and losing the war or are we losing some battles but winning the war?

My prayer time was awesome this morning. I sat on the porch on prayed while the billions of raindrops fell quickly to the ground. The lightning lit the sky up, the thunder roared and rumbled across the sky. The whole earth shook with the noises from the sky. I was deep in the midst of prayer during this time today and it was awesome to know that the God who created the heavens and earth and the loud noises of its atmosphere is the same God who hears my little voice when I reach up to Him.

I prayed over the battles in my life. The triumphs of battles past. The defeats I have experienced in some battles as well. The trust that He will supply all I need again in any upcoming battles. The thunder rolled and it was like His voice saying..."I am here...I am hearing you...I know you need Me." The battles you are facing are nothing more than raindrops falling from the sky that will soon hit the ground and be gone. But know that there is a purpose in the raindrops/battles... "to honor Me"..."to be holy"..."to press on in faith"...
So many things to learn...and thank God He has blessed me with the time right now to experience Him in a new way...when things are slow and patience is required.
