Third times the charm

Today I began my third round of the 21 day fix extreme. My first time was wonderful, my second not so much. This time I am going to rock it! But this is going to be more than about my fitness. This is going to be so much more.

It has been said that it takes 21 days to establish a new habit or break an old one. With my journey through 21 dfx, I have learned more about my eating habits and fitness. I have found the spiritual and practical application to the concept behind it all. I must have a plan. To be successful with 21dfx, you have to plan when you will workout, cook ahead of time, and prep for snacks!

I am going to use this 21 day journey I am on to create a plan for my life. I feel that I am going through each day but not utilizing the day to the fullest. I know what God has called me to do, but I am not making much progress. Tonight I was able to have some time of reflection, and I have some clarity:
  • I want to be a published writer, that means I need to write. Everyday. Thankfully I have this blog, but I also have a book I am working on and a Bible Study I want to create. So everyday I will devote time to writing something more than a to-do list.
  • I will have my prayer and quite time everyday. I will meet with the Lord to outline each and every day.
  • I will make time to have alone time with each member of my family: Brock, Abigail and Stone. I will arrange babysitters and give thought of a way to connect with each one on their level.
The other thing is that I feel that God is calling me for something more, more than what I am already doing and aspiring for. My husband has committed to a new journey that will last at least a year. If at the end he essentially meets the requirements for the next step, our life will change, and we see it for the good. Before that though I feel that God is calling me for more than what I am already doing beyond being a Sunday school admin, working on my classes Facebook page, my Precept class, church nursery volunteering and such. So for the next 21 days I am going to seek clarity as to what He is calling me to do.
