I'm am in pain. I missed a week of workouts last week and paid for it on Monday. I was dying doing the thousands of push-ups that seemed to be a piece of cake for Miss "let's put our feet on the bench so it is even harder to do the already impossible push-up" Instructor. No, I'm not bitter at all.But as I was thinking about how my body can so clearly feel the affects of missing out on that time, do I take notice of the days, or weeks that I miss out on quiet time with God. What if we felt that intense pain on the days that we missed our time with Him? I think I would do better at spending time with Him... But I guess the arguement could be made that if we don't set aside that time to spend with God, the consequences/affects (for lack of a better word) can actually be greater than something that I individually feel. It affects my relationships, my attitude towards others, and just about everything in between.
Here's to doing better at it this week. baby steps.
