Walk

By the looks of it to you with my blog posts this week, perhaps it seems like nothing exciting is going on in my world this week, ha…

But for me, I have something to be pretty excited about.

I started walking this past Sunday and have woken up at 5:30am every morning this week so far to walk for an hour.

I really hope this continues.

I’m proud of myself. Every part of me wants to be able to keep this up, so we shall see.

One might think why is four days to be proud of? Give it a month and then you’ll have something to be proud of. But for me, this is a huge thing.

I’ve had memberships to the wellness center. It never lasted. I’ve been on exercise kicks but never lasted. Time and time again I’ve tried the exercise thing and it just never lasted.

I have about 10 pounds I would like to lose.

Every single sleeping cell in my body wants to stay in that bed in the morning, but it has been so great for me. I have more energy throughout the day and I just feel better about myself because I know I made the effort. I listen to my music while I’m walking and love having that time to myself before the world wakes up and everything is just quiet and still.

“Be still and know that I am God!” Psalm 46:10

And as I towards the end of my walk, the sky starts to lose some of its darkness which lets you know the sun is ready to make its way out and the world is ready to resume at its crazy and hectic pace.

I’ve actually come to where I enjoy these walks. I think I’ve just come to really enjoy the stillness, where the distractions of this world are just non-existent at least for that one hour and I can just be still and know that he is God!

And if I lose a few pounds (listening to me God?) along the way, then who am I to complain? Ha! :)

2 Cor. 5: 7 we walk by faith.

Eph. 5: 2 walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us.

1 Jn. 1: 7 walk in the light, as he is in the light.

Rom. 6: 4 walk in newness of life.

Ps. 116: 9 I walk before the Lord.

Deut. 10: 12 fear the Lord . . . to walk in all his ways.

So there’s my exciting week… anything exciting going on in your world?
