Healthy mind, healthy body

I have been thinking lately (dangerous I know) that while I consider myself relatively healthy, I may only be deceiving myself. I don't exercise. I eat pretty much what I want (case in point --- I treated myself to Chik-fil-A for lunch and upsized my waffle fries to large). I don't have a regulary "going to bed" time. I don't drink enough water. Hmmmm........ wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that I take medications for hypertension and high-cholesterol?

So, in the next week and a half, before reporting back to work, I want to implement better eating habits and start exercising again. I even have my own treadmill, for goodness' sake, so I can't allow "can't get to the YMCA" to make a difference in whether I exercise or not.

Hopefully, my next posting will be positive results in the physical health arena.

........................

Now for the healthy mind part. I know what my biggest problem here is as well. Oh, I'm taking classes and enriching my head knowledge. However, I do not read my Bible regularly. Shameful for a pastor's wife to admit on the WWW, but if we're being honest here........ admit I must. So, another commitment I want to make is to God Himself that I want to get to know Him better, listen to Him closer, and understand His character by reading His Word every day.

Again, my prayer is that the next posting will find me deep in the pages of Scripture and asking a lot of questions of the Lord...... that's how we get to know someone, right? We listen to their words and ask them questions........
