Today is a jumpstart to a more disciplined life. I want to be a man who stands before God and can say, "I gave you my all. I listened and obeyed. I honored my wife, and I presented your truth to people." Unfortunately, presenting the truth and honoring my wife means I have to open my eyes to something I didn't want to think about... I'm 35 lbs over what my doc says I should be for my age/height/body type. Ugh.

So, it cannot be a diet or an exercise routine- it has to be a lifestyle change. I care about God too much to live with my self-indulgence. I care about my wife too much to have her look at my overweight tail. And, I care too much about my daughter to die early because I didn't live healthy.

And today it begins. No more sodas. No more junk. Just water, juice & milk. Healthier foods and smaller portions. Also, I will be riding my bike to and from work. Almost 12 miles one way. This morning's ride was refreshing and I needed it. I connected with God in a way I hadn't felt in awhile. Stronger, deeper, just praying, listening, hearing his voice. It was great.

Here was this morning's playlist on the ride in:

Disguising Mistakes With Goodbyes by Emery
Promise by Spoken
Say This Sooner by The Almost
Instead of A Show by Jon Foreman
God of This City by Chris Tomlin
With My Own Two Hands by Ben Harper
Death And His Grave by John Mark McMillan
Deliver Me by David Crowder

God definitely speaks to me through music and this morning's playlist was a good one. Until next time people...
