Moving Day
Just moved today. I am grateful for all of the friends that helped. It made it a lot easier and went really fast and well. Kelly and I like our new place. It is about the same size but the design makes it a lot more open. We feel like we have more room. The worst part of moving is all the last odds and ends that need to be moved. Tomorrow we will finish that up and hopefully get the place cleaned and ready for check out.
Our goal is that in 2 years our next move is into a place that we own. We shall see and hopefully we can get there.

Refuge
Core workout today. Great workout. Started week 7 and I'm back on track. Tomorrow is the halfway point. Crazy. I can feel my body getting tired. I hope I can continue to muster the energy to do the workouts.
One word in the Psalms that David uses a lot is Refuge. David understood something very valuable so when we are going through life we need to seek out God as our Refuge not other things. For many your refuge might be your job or money or something else but it is God with whom we need to put our refuge in. If anyone in scripture had plenty of other things other than God to put his refuge in it was David.
Seek Refuge from God.

Junk
Yesterday I said goodbye to a lot of junk. It is amazing how much piles up over time. It was neat going through memories as well. Some stuff I held onto but the majority of it is gone. It is amazing how my perspective on what to save and throw out changed once I had 2 kids.
I am still on target with P90X. This past week was tough keeping up with it. I missed one day and I'm debating about redoing the week since I did miss one day. We will see how this week goes:)

Complacency
I got a little complacent in week 6 of P90X. I am still on track but I fell behind for the first time. I am one day behind but will make it up on my scheduled rest day.
It is interesting how complacency set in once I was feeling really good about what I was doing. I think that happens in all areas of life. In the work out I look for ways to jump start it to get beyond complacency and I think in other areas of life I need to find that jump start. Hopefully I can discern well enough in advance to not let complacency really set in. When that happens things start to suffer.
The truly great ones in life never not have complacency set in. The great ones know how to defeat it before it hinders them.

Preparation
Not preparing is preparing to fail. I am reading through Nehemiah and he was someone who prepared extremely well. He made specific preparations to accomplish his goals. How are you preparing yourself for what God has for you?
Preparing ourselves for worship on a weekly basis involves spending time with Him on our own. It is neat to see a group of believers worshipping God who have been with the father beforehand.
I think if we want to improve our worship experiences it isn't about better muscians, speakers, or getting it better than last time. It is about being with God before we meet. That is the kind of preparation that will powerfully change your worship experience. We all play a part in preparing to worship together.
My 90 day challenge is still on track. I have eaten better this week but that is definitely the biggest challenge right now.

It's about people
It's about the people not the program. In ministry and life I am learning that we really need to put people first and not just focus on accomplishing the task at hand.
It's tough when we are in such a bottom line driven world. I believe if you put people first and invest in them that the bottom line will take care of itself. I mean just look at how Jesus lived His life. He invested in welve and He changed the world like no other.
