Feast and Famine
If there’s one area of my life that I know is in desperate need of improvement, it would be my eating habits. I skip breakfast, eat a small, carb-filled lunch, and usually eat enough dinner for two. I eat too many things that are unhealthy, but the bigger problem is my tendency to eat one giant meal a day, and not much else. What’s worse, I eat that meal at 7:00 at night. I’m aware of the need to change, but it is very difficult to break such a long-standing habit. What’s worse is that I have the same problem spiritually. I go for long periods without filling myself spiritually until I’m starving to be with God again. When I connect with him, I stuff my face with his presence. Fortunately, no one can over consume the presence of God. However, my tendency is to get filled, and then go a long time without eating again, living off of the feast that was once had. I know that’s not what God desires. He wants to connect with me on a daily basis, so that I never near the point of spiritual starvation. Just like the Israelites in the desert, who had to find manna each and every daybecause manna that was kept over night would spoil, I want to experience God every day. Unfortunately, long-standing habits are hard to break!
Alright man. We need to put up or shut up. You and I have been complaining about getting more and more unhealthy for years now. I’m sick of your whining and you are sick of mine. Let’s get back to the GLORY DAYS!
You ready to start excersing with me (and being accountable in your diet) or do you want me to just let you eat yourself to a deuce and a half and a heart condition?
BTW – when you mention a book, person, website, etc. on your blog you can link to them and it allows people to get the info quicker (and makes it more likely they will!). I’ve also had a few authors get in touch with me after the fact to give thanks for the shown love. So yea, if you want me to show you where you do that I will.
