Another diet plan fails, another work out is procrastinated, another bible reading slips away and I tell myself: "I will be a better me...tomorrow." During one of my depressed sessions of negative self image and playing the blame game, I woke up to something important. I keep putting my betterment off. My failure is due not to lack of vision, but lack of motivation. Consequently my mantra of "better tomorrow" has transformed into a prayer: "please give me the strength to be a better me today".
This realization will not spur me into instantaneous change. I have accepted that I am human: that I will do things for the wrong reason and do things imperfectly.
I believe it is important to live a well balanced and faithful life before God. This exists in all areas of life: health, fitness, spiritual state, morality, relationships, job, writing, what we read, how we worship, what music we listen to. In this blog, expect lists of workout plans, arguments about Creation, book analyses, rants about fashion, and prayers.
To paraphrase a century old prayer:
Lord God, grant me three things: wisdom to know Your will, keenness to understand it, and courage to follow wherever it leads.
