Goals

So a C was in town recently, and he told me instead of memorizing song lyrics I should memorize Bible verses, I'm going to assume half joking and half serious.

I love music... so repetition naturally leads to memorization, but that being said, I've decided to add on to my goals.

Basic Outline
1) Wake up at 8:00 or 8:30 am everyday.  Run M, W, F morning.  Pushups every morning and evening.  Pullups tossed in their randomly along with other stuff.  Frisbee Thursday, and speed workouts whenever those start up.
2) Six Pack by end of semester, in part cause I've always wanted one and realistically it's easier for me to be dedicated now about it than later in life.
3) Steady QT's, which have been good lately, and I feel like God has been working in me a lot, and I'm just... recognizing so many things that I want to do it.
4) More prayer in my life for myself, but for others as well.  There's something powerful about prayer and just interceding, and I want to become a prayer warrior, not only praying at prayer meetings but on my own. Like Jesus talks about private vs. public devotion.
5) Memorize a new verse every couple days.
6) Lots and lots of reading, along with continuing to reach out to people. Proactivity and intentionality.  Two words I made up, but the meaning is clear.

Practically a lot of this just requires a lot of discipline.  Once school gets going the best time to meet up with people is over meals, but that's always been true, we all need to eat.  So gonna get on that.

But underlying all of this, is a foundation and joy in Christ.  If that starts waning then all these other things will have to be sacrificed, or at least reworked.

But ya, my verse today and prob tomorrow is Ephesians 2:8-9.  Something supposed to have memorized for SLC.
It is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.

It's amazing how this verse has just gained more meaning over time...  Yup yup.  Hope you had a great day of classes or whatever you are currently doing.  And remember to do your QT and fight for Christ.
