A new persective on the Rat Race...

Okay, so this morning I was listening to Alistair Begg on WAGP and the whole "rat race" thing became clear. It is not so much the need to make time for the "important" treasures, but to find the moments in the middle of the race.

"And we know that God causes all things to work

together for good to those who love God, to those

who are called according to His purpose."

Romans 8:28

He is in control of where I am every second of the day. So when I am seeking after His will - when my will is that of the Lord's - then I am not in a "rat race" but in His will, fulfilling His purposes. My focus is on Him and and conforming my will to his. Which means a lot of checks and balances throughout the day of my flesh...

I definitely think that I have more than enough to keep my busy at home for those who thought I wouldn't. And my house is getting back to some sort of order (its about time)

I want to be a loser

I hate to admit how complacent I have gotten with being healthy. I know what I need to do which makes it much worse than just being ignorant. I know how to count calories (or points). It's a simple equation more output than input. Add in chaos and the need of convenience and it no longer seems quite as simple. In addition to the chaos I have a huge weakness for sugar! Preferably the chocolate variety. But really any sort of 'sweet' will do. My hubby and I came to a so called agreement right after Christmas. I will give up sweets and he will give up soda (his weakness). "Give up" is so very harsh. Neither of us has been perfect with it. He of course has done much better than I. Unfortunately for him I am weak and when I have given into my sweet tooth I have tended to bring him a Coke. Oh only upon typing that out did I realize how horrible I have been. Did it take anyone else back to Genesis? Ouch. The above reason though is why accountability in
