As for balance, I don’t know, but when you figure it out, let me know.

Over the last year and a half, I’ve managed to add exercise at first 3xs a week and now I’m up to about 5xs a week.

Today as I jogged 2 miles without stopping, I remembered that day in late February when it was all I could do to catch my breath after running only a few minutes to catch a train… and realized that a year and half later I’ve become stronger, healthier and about 25 lbs. lighter than when I started. Progress is good to see, but it sometimes takes a while to see it. Epically when you see ads that promise to help a person loose a size in a week. That is so unreal. Real is putting on the shoes and heading out the door for a year and a half and beyond.

So glad you are back to SWB Mondays. The scripture you shared today seems to be a perfect fit for my current state of life.

Now that I’m moving and eating better again, I need to add consistent prayer and devotions. Why is it so hard to balance those three at the same time?

“It is not that I have already taken hold of it or have already attained perfect maturity, but I continue my pursuit in hope that I may possess it, since I have indeed been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus]. Brothers, I for my part do not consider myself to have taken possession. Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead, I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God’s upward calling, in Christ Jesus. Let us, then, who are “perfectly mature” adopt this attitude, and if you have a different attitude, this too God will reveal to you. Only, with regard to what we have attained, continue on the same course.

Philippians 4:12-16
