Phase 2 - 6 Week - Beginning

So, I've been thinking about how I want to do my next 6 week session. I want to change things up a bit. I want to find the next level of focus. I want to work at my weak spots. I want to find something to focus on that's going to keep me going strong, especially over the stressful weeks ahead.

Here's what I'm thinking: I need to dig a little deeper and start working on the habits and sources of those habits that are bringing me struggle. 

Right now I know what to eat. I don't need to research that more. I don't really need to log my daily food because I know what choices to make and what will nourish me as I go. I know what works as far as what I put in my mouth.

However, the WHY, the WHEN, and the HOW MUCH, well, that's still tripping me up.

So, I want to decide on a way to look at my daily choices and the motivation behind those choices and give some thought and prayer into understanding more about my relationship with food, health, exercise, and life. 

How that's going to look, I'm not altogether sure.  In the past I've been greatly convicted by the principles of putting on and putting off.  I've got a detailed post about it here.  For now, I want to return to these thoughts, this scripture, these principles and work on applying them each day.

What will I find? What patterns will be revealed? What will I see in myself that I haven't before? I would love to be changed and win victories in some areas of my life in the coming weeks. 

So, I'm still thinking through how I'll type this up each day. For now, I'm content to dig in deeper on the soul food that will challenge me toward humility, get honest about the hard things that are revealed, and keep working the 6 week eating plan and watch the Lord work to bring healing physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. 

This advent season really is the perfect time to be waiting on the Lord and the mighty work he wants to do in and through me. This time of waiting and expecting and seeking him, it fits. It really fits.
