It's so hard to concentrate on reading this morning when there are so many other things on my mind! Work, friendships, eating right, exercising. Ah. But I think I can get my focus back temporarily to get through this :) I'm actually doing pretty well, just busy as a bee! There's a lot of new stuff that I'm doing at work and I'm loving it, but I'm also try to get it all done successfully and consistently. Getting yourself on a new schedule is hard! But I know I can do it and I know ultimately it's the best for the kiddos. OK, see I just spent about 5 more minute daydreaming about work. Back to the book!
Today the book talked about using food as a fix. It talked about using it when you're bored, restless, need to fill up some empty time, or procrastinating. "Suppose you need to study for a test, clean the house, or mow the lawn. You simply convince yourself that if you eat something first, you'll be able to tackle it more easily." This whole chapter is SO TRUE for me. I'm a wandering eater! I eat when I'm bored, restless, or don't want to do something. I eat to avoid. I need to remember that either I do the task with extra poundage, or I do it without stuffing my face.
Hebrews 11--the first half! Ah the faith chapter. It's a pretty inspiring one I suppose. It kicks off with my favorite verse: now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. I find that my faith is nothing compared to the people that are written about in this chapter, but it is encouraging to see my faith grow little by little each day. The more and more I see God changing and doing things, the more my faith grows. If he can make a difference here, I know I can trust him here--kinda thing.
