DAY10: Heart, Shoulders and Arms (I lost 7 pounds already)

It is the first day of school! Wow! All in our house woke up at 6am this morning and had breakfast together, said a quick prayer to start them off right today, and then off they went. All three rode the bus...hilarious! Even more funny was Annie taking pics as they got on the bus and rode away! I am sure Grant and Drew were dying. P-did probably liked it still! Times are flying...

Annie and I went on a 45 minute walk around the neighborhood this morning right after they loaded the bus. Neat quiet time together...took the place of my warm-up session for P90X. I kicked butt...or maybe I should say, kicked shoulders and arms today! I am really starting to feel good about the soreness now! I am stating to see a slight difference in my physique as well. NO, the pics aren't being posted yet...but they will be, not to worry!

More in Leviticus today and I want to touch on one thing I read that stuck with me: "...you are but an alien and my tenants..."

Are we really living each day as aliens and tenants? This means so much as it relates to EVERYTHING! Kids, finances, bodies, property, spouse, family, etc. So overwhelming for most average people that most people just don't pay any attention to it.

This is something I am chewing on and probably will for a while. How would my life look different if i treated everything as an alien and tenant? Simply put, all of everything I have is not just from God but is God's. So, how would God look on my management and stewardship of His resources, people, etc?

Oh Lord, help me to be a good and faithful servant, steward, and friend! I can't do it without you guiding me along the way!

  1. Just 11 more days to establish this new habit...so claims conventional wisdom. But with God, anything is possible! May His "habit force" be with you and "establish" you!
