The light


I first want to say thank you for the encouraging comments that I have received. I'm glad that I have friends that support me. The fact that you even take the time out to read my blogs means a lot to me.

Anyway, I was finally able to wake up at 6:00 today. I went to bed before 9pm if anyone can believe that! I GOT 10 HOURS OF SLEEP! I feel so refreshed although this office gets a bit stuffy and makes me groggy toward the end of the day. I did not exercise but I did realize that I should be waking up at 5:30 instead if I want to do that. I get up and play the keyboard to wake up so I don't fall asleep in my bible. Then I pray and read the bible. Then I have just enough time to take a shower. I played for longer than I usually do today but I think it was because I knew that I had no intentions of using my extra time to exercise. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. One step at a time.

I packed a smaller bowl of soup today than I did yesterday because when I picked it up to put it in the microwave it weighed like 4 or 5 lbs. I couldn't believe that I was putting that much food in me. And you wouldn't mind but it is like 50% egg noodles.

I got some reading done last night for my Business Law class and I hope to get caught up with that tonight. Tomorrow is my busy day. I get home from school, eat, go to piano lessons, and then go straight to bible study. Then on Thursday I should have some time to get caught up on more work. I really need to focus. Its stressing me out that I know how well I can do but I am not applying myself.

Well, that is all for today. I need to get out of work and go home so I can run to Staples and have a draft of my calender bound and get back home to do some work. Yes, thats right, I type these blogs on work time. Its okay. My boss told me to leave like 20 minutes ago but I wanted to stay and update my blog.

Thanks again to all those who continue to read my blogs. It really helps me. It also makes me feel like I have more of a responsibility to work at my goals. I hope that I can be that light on the hill. I want people to look to me as an example of a Christian. And not so I can feel better about myself. I want to help people to understand what kind of life you can have when you let God take control. When there are more of us that can be that light, there is a better chance that more unsaved people can accept the truth.

Leah,

Good job waking up early to read your bible & pray. It's so essential. The busier we are, the more tempted we might be to skip those things, but in reality, that's when we need it the most. Keep it up!! Love you, Dianna
