Today I fought the war with the fleas. Part II will be tomorrow, but I got my floor clean, the whole place vaccuumed really well. Sprayed some powerful flea killer stuff everywhere.... hopefully the war will be on the ending side, not the beginning side by tomorrow. ^^
Other things include working out. I'm taking pictures (no not posting, but will be posting a video at the end showing each days improvements or lack of XD) of myself each day as I workout for the next 8 weeks doing my own personal fitness practice I've cooked up for myself. It'll be at least 30 minutes and at most an hour every night, and is intense enough that it should show pretty fast but not intense enough I injure myself. Tomorrow, man will I be sore though. XD
General thoughts: Relationships these days are rushed. And I say that coming from 100% of me wanting to rush relationships. I push hard because I see a glimpse of something I like and then burn through the learning about the other person part and end up hurting both of us in the end. Not good. Take your time. Patience and abstinence (even when it comes to kissing, holding, cuddling, etc) will always be rewarded with a sweeter prize the longer you wait. Like good wine, let the relationship build and grow slowly before that day of marriage when you open the top and enjoy the fruits of patience. ^^
And lastly, before I close this out, I wanted to share Colossians 3:16-17. The whole book is really great, so you should at least give it a read through, but I wanted to share in this section spesifically. I had it bookmarked and underlined in my bible, so obviously it's been important to me before, but even now it's still very important. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." I want to quickly focus on that last part about doing everything in the name of the Lord. Certainly some take it to the extreme of "Thank you God for these pencils so I can draw a cool picture." But overall though, it's about doing things with God at your back. It's hard to make out with your best friends girlfriend if you know that Jesus is there and wouldn't be happy about it. It's hard to curse out your neighbor for something they did if you know Jesus is shaking His head disappointedly. Like products from china have the label "Made in China" on it, we should want a "Approved by God" sign on everything we do. And if we do it as glory to Him, that sign will be there without even having to mention Him. Just keep that in mind as you do the things you do tomorrow.
