Monday Motivation: February 3, 2014

This week can only be better than last week.

It's official that our family is fighting some type if virus.  That must be what is making me so tired and worn out.  I think I was asleep before 9pm last night.

Feeling better, mentally, today, though.  Ready to tackle the day and the week.

Started out a little lower on the scale than Friday. That's encouraging. I'm eager to get back to building my habit of afternoon exercise workouts, too. I really saw how letting those go brought me down in my motivation last week.

I read this in my devotions this morning.  I'm going to use it for my motivation this week concerning my efforts to regain optimal health.

"We must eat and drink to the glory of God, and then we wait on him in eating and drinking.  We must receive nourishment for our bodies, that they may be fitted to serve our souls in the service of God, to his honour in this world.  We must taste covenant love in common mercies, and enjoy the Creator while we are using the creature.  We must depend upon the word of blessing from the mouth of God, to make our food nourishing to us; and if our provision be mean and scanty, we must make up the want of them by faith in the promise of God, and rejoice in him, as the 'God of our salvation, though the fit-tree doth not blossom, and there is no fruit on the vine.' "  -Matthew Henry, The Secret of Communion with God

This week's goals:

Morning worship, prayer challenge, blogging
Breakfast on time and WITH the children
Follow 6 week plan strictly
Afternoon workouts at LEAST 3 times this week
Evening stretch
Evening worship and prayer
Bed by 10pm

Praying, Lord, that, by your mercy, I would taste covenant love in common mercies and enjoy you, the Creator, while I am using the creature. Amen!
