Discipline
I might hate myself for choosing that…but honestly, having a plan and checking things off brings me a great deal of peace.
As of late, I have been doing fitness challenges that spell out what to do by when. I love the motivation it gives me and the sense of accomplishment. I have even recently added a 1/2 marathon that I will do May 20.
I am finding accomplishment in following an eating plan through weight watchers. I feel good making quality decisions. It helps me make sense of my choices.
But the third area is the most important. Our pastor challenged us Sunday to read through the Bible from beginning to end this year. I can see this one being the hardest to do…though I did get caught up tonight. But that is the thing, I already had to get caught up. That makes me a little sad.
Yet should it? I am not setting out to be perfect, I am setting out to discipline myself so that I might improve…never reaching perfect, but getting closer.
1 Corinthians 9:27
but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified. (New American Standard Bible)
Won’t you join me this year as I grow in discipline?
