Scattered

I have been scattered. Training for a thiath...starting school...behind on house work....then last night I read this...http://www.memoriapress.com/articles/Stop-cleaning-the-kitchen.html

Then this morning it goes much deeper. (Thanks Bonnie for telling us about this!!)

Yes, I started this training putting reading my Bible first...but slowly I have put that off to get my training "in on time". Thanks Ann Voskamp for the reminder of what is truely important!

Lord, I love you!
You are what makes me strong.
I am nothing without you.
No stoke, no ride, no walk/run has meaning apart from you.
I cannot love my husband or children without you.
I cannot even keep the kitchen clean without you.
You are everything.
And all I need...
All I want!
Then everything else will fall into place.
Thanks for taking my eyes off of myself,
And putting them back where they belong,
Adoring You!

Love to Eat Hate to Eat

I have been reading lots, but have had no time for posting. I have been reading Love to Eat Hate to Eat: Breaking th Bondage of Destructive Eating Habits by Elyse Fitzpatrick. I have been blown away with the depth to which she explains my struggle and the incredible biblical advice she gives to help remedy it.

I have learned that my struggle comes down to one of two things usually. They are: Love of Independence ( I want what I want) and Love of Pleasure.

I am starting over today in chapter one in order to read through it again with my dad. We have also started the 6 week total body makeover by Michael Thurmond, which my dad had much success with previously. I will try to blog after a few chapters of Love to Eat Hate to Eat. Not sure how much time I will have.

I am also training for the Ramlin' Rose Triathlon. I have started a new blog for that, http://ramblinrosebound.blogspot.com/ but I cannot figure out how to link them together...anyone have technical advice let me know!!!
