Let he who has never had to be forgiven; cast the first stone.

Today the spirit is really speaking to me.  I heard this song for the first time while I was running a random errand:

It's Hawk Nelson's Diamonds.  I love it.  It's great for this time I am in my life right now.  

Bet you are wondering about the title of this blog.  Well, we are doing a study entitled: Love Never Fails.  Its about marriage and relationships.  Needless to say when our pastor was announcing this study was going to start I was less than enthusiastic considering my current status. I am patiently waiting on the Boaz my Savior has for me. 

The main theme I took form today's message was "Submit by supporting = put the needs of your spouse above your own".  When I think of this I remember this coincides with not entering into a relationship for what you can get out of it but for what you contribute or bring to the relationship.
It's funny, I didn't think I really wanted to listen to how to work on a relationship, especially while I was single.  Then it was pointed out to me, perhaps God knows you will be more receptive while you are not in a relationship.  I laugh out loud, further testament to the fact that my Savior knows me and sure works in mysterious ways.  I may not know what he is doing, but all signs point to Him working in me.

I saw what has to be my new favorite movie recently. War Room.

   I liked it so much, I am updating it to add to my personal DVD collection.  This movie leaves you with so much encouragement and hope.  It's mainly centers around the dynamic of strained marriage. Prayer and trust in the Savior being the ultimate answer.  Again, more of what seems to be instructions for when I am in a relationship.  All I can do is thank and praise my King as I continue to surrender myself for Him to do a work in me.

I have started tracking my meals again on the MyFitnessPal app.  I have a couple of friends that are tracking with me.  They are an encouragement and help keep me accountable.  I have tracked for an entire week and have noticed a trend already.  Of my macro-molecules my carbohydrate intake is either the highest or what causes me to go over.  Plan for next week, increase fruit and veggies, cut carb consumption.  Easier said than done.  However, I have a Savior that is victorious.  I will put it in His hands also.  

I have also realized I will get easily bored with same workout or routine.  As I look back I did my best when I was working with the trainer my uncle set up for me. I have a membership to a 24 hr gym now.  I still find myself craving a walk in the park or outdoors.  I found out the local skating ring has $2 Mondays, so that is another workout I can drag my daughter to that burns a ton of calories.  I noticed also if I am getting something done, rather than going to the gym to solely work out, the time goes by faster and I burn more calories.  In other words, I would rather spend three hours helping a friend move, paint or remodel, or spend time on a playground chasing or playing with small children than go to the gym for an hour and 15 minutes.

Learning new things every day. . .
