Day 10 started with my attempts to complete some work while kids were here and Mark was in Boston. Usually Wednesday is my favorite weekday - it's an easy work out day - Shoulders and Arms and only a 3 mile run. I managed to get in only a 20 minute walk/run looping my back yard as the kids swam. In fact, I haven't done a video since Saturday. The one positive note is that I have stayed within my calories on MFP and have not had a drink at all, but I'm drinking way more coffee than water. The habit of working out 2x per day and eating is broken.
My friend Donna posted this quote on her FB page.
"God sees our lives differently than we do. We are limited by time and space, but God can look beyond the next hill to a grander view. Rather than becoming discouraged with ourselves, we should leave the judgment of our lives to God. We should remember that real success does not depend on results; rather, it depends on whether we are obeying God's unique plan for our lives. When we leave the results with God, we do not need to feel discouraged in times of stress and apparent lack of results." This sums up what I had been feeling. I trudged through work, through Ryan's practice and spent some more time listening to Mark.
My reading takes us a little further in the Old Testament with the death of Sarah. The New Testament talks more about Jesus performing miracles and healing people, and how he is still calling his disciples, even the tax collector, Matthew. The Psalms are very encouraging as well.
"I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness; I will sing praises of th ename of the Lord Most High." Psalm 7:17
