Day 24- Crazy Week

This week has flew by me and I haven't done well in eating or exercising. Ian and I are leading the message on Sunday.  It is senior Sunday and the youth lead the whole service.  We also have our last youth group of the year that night.  So much going on.

Next week I am taking a mini vacation and headed up to Blacksburg to take a rest before the summer schedule starts. I need it but it won't physically be a rest.  I have big plans for the middle of the week that I will let you know of at the first of the week. 

This weekend is going to be awesome but I think I am a little stressed our right now!

Day 21

The last four or five days have been a blur.  I haven't been able to work out, ok I have been able to but I haven't.   I have been in sort of a rut.  This weekend has helped with the extra day off but I am really looking forward to taking next week off and my planned trip within a trip.  More on that later but for now things are good.  I have eaten well and still have a chance to meet my goals.  I will work really hard over the next 28 days!  I need to write a devotion but I haven't had one come to me lately.  I hope one hits me in the next couple of days.  Maybe I need to start a new series.  I don't know if any of these blogs are any good or if people enjoy reading them.  I know that is not why I write them or what this whole thing is about, but I just hope people enjoy what I write and get something out of it!

Be good and safe tomorrow!  Enjoy your Memorial Day!

Day 16 and 17

The days seem to run together.  Yesterday I got a lot done in the office and enjoyed a Bulls game with Wes, Bill, and Philip.  It was a nice day.  Today I worked on senior Sunday, did some ASP stuff and then helped do some moving.

My workouts have come to a hault at the moment, but I have big plans for 2 weeks from now.  I am a little excited and it will be a great workout. Until then we have a showing tomorrow so I am headed to the house and will mow if its not raining in the morning.  I have 2 pups for the weekend so it should be good!

It is almost Friday already!  The week has flown by!

Still eating right!

What would you do if I sang out of tune?

We all make mistakes and bad decisions in our lives.  It is part of human nature for us to do so.  Sometimes those mistakes and bad decisions are very hurtful.  We don't even realize it most of the time that we have really hurt someone.  It is kind of like singing a song in the car or in the shower.  We are singing at the top of our lungs and we don't even realize that we are out of tune.  We just keep singing and singing because there is no other there to tell us we are doing it wrong.

We often "sing out of tune" when we make a decision that hurts someone.  The difference between the actually singing out of tune in the shower and when we make a wrong decision is that there is often someone there that is hurt by our decision.  That person may not even say anything to us when it happens, They may just let it go.  That is the problem.  We can't fix something that we don't realize is broken.  The even worse thing is that it is our fault in the first place.

Friends, you need to say something when we make a bad decision or a mistake that hurts you.  You need to let us know when we have sung out of tune and done something wrong.  The only way we know is if you call us on it.  It is not an easy thing to do.  No one wants to call out their friends, but I would rather you call me out then to be mad at me over something I don't know that I did. 

Singing in tune is such a hard thing to do.  Being mindful of everything you say is a hard thing to do.  Although we have control over it, making bad decisions is a bad thing to do.  We can only hope that there are friends out there that will give us singing lessons and help us out when we trip on a note. 

So when you here the question:  What would you do if I sang out of tune?  Make sure to help that person with the notes.  Push them to the right melody.  Tell them what key they should be in.  Just make sure they know that something is wrong and that they are "singing out of tune!"

Day 14 and 15

This week has been crazy already and its Monday!  Yesterday and today are a blur.  I have so much going on and have had to drive to work for two days.  I have to drive tomorrow but I hope to walk on Wednesday and Thursday! 

I have come to a realization which is awesome because I think it will answer my health issues and give me some time to relax.  I made a move today that will really help me out in the long run.  i will talk about that more later this week! 

I am excited for our confirmands who will be confirmed this weekend and I think that Ian and my message will be great on Senior Sunday! 

As far as work and eating right, good week so far.  Exercise.... not so much!  I gotta get back on the horse!

See you tomorrow!

Day 13

Moving day!  Today I helped move Coleen's mommy to her new place.  It was a long hard day but so very worth it for her sweet mom.  I didn't eat as well as I should of and didn't exercise but I am sure I did by moving all that stuff.  I am pretty sure I haven't lost a lot of weight this week being sick and all but I will hit it up again on Monday.  I have a long day at church tomorrow as well so I might not get any exercise in.  We shall see.

I have also had late nights so I hope to get my normal devotions in starting Monday!

Hope you had a great Saturday!

Day 12: Walk at the Lake

Well I struggled through my allergies to get 2.5 miles in today.  It was a nice walk but I didn't push it.  I have been really tired the last couple days so I am hoping to get back to full strength by the first of the week.  I did however take a chair and my laptop to the lake today and sat by a small waterfall and wrote the rest of our senior Sunday message.  I think it is pretty good.  God was working through me while I was sitting in his beautiful creation.  It was a nice afternoon.  Now I hope to get a good nights rest to help a friend move tomorrow :)

Be good!
