p90x time

Okay, so today, I decided (for real) that I am done with this whole weight issue thing.  I worked out with a friend and then I worked out by myself for an hour.  It's actually very refreshing.  Anyway, the reason why I am writing this because I discovered something that Tony Horton said on the video that totally pertains to a Christian's life, whether he knows that or not.  He was talking, at the end of the workout, about how difficult it is to workout the way that we desire to when it's at the beginning of our journey.  He said that once you workout everyday and exercise your body, then it gets so much easier as time goes on.  Then not only will you be able to challenge yourself but you can do what you've already done and then some.  I was listening to him and it was like a revelation.  I am learning about myself and my relationship with God everyday.  I am learning so much more then I ever thought possible AND THERE IS STILL MORE TO GO!!

But, anyway, I realized that at the beginning of our Journey, it is one of the toughest things in the world.  Or even a hard time that we are facing.  We must exercise our faith and relationship with God in order to make it through those tough times.  No matter how difficult it is going to be, you will be able to go past it and then you are able to conquer even more difficult things with time.  Exercising your faith and relationship with God is the best thing anyone can do to get into spiritual shape.  No one ever said that being a Christian was easy.  Even Jesus admitted that to us.  I mean, He was ridiculed and persecuted AND He died so we DID NOT have to!!!!!! That is the amazing part.  When you're going through a tough time in your life imagine if He had not put Himself in your position.  Imagine where you would be today.  You probably would have had to die on that cross.  With all the trials and tribulations we go through, it could have been SO much worse.  Instead, we have such a loving Savior that He chose to give Himself up for us.  That's like this day in age, when someone is pointing a gun at us because we committed some sort of crime.  Now, imagine someone jumping in front of you (someone YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW) saying shoot me instead because this man is innocent through me.  Excuse me?! Yeah, like that would happen now.  But if it did!! That is what Jesus did for us.  He jumped in front of that bullet and ASKED to be shot.  He didn't just jump in the line of fire, He stood there and ASKED to be shot.  That is an amazing love.  So, from here on out, I don't care how much it hurts to workout, I'm doing it because God gave me this life in order to worship Him.  What better way than living my life in EVERY aspect including getting myself in shape, to be healthier for HIM..  hmmmmm i cannot wait.
