Turning over a new leaf

I realized this morning on my way to take the boys to school that I am not doing nearly enough of the things that I should be doing in my life.  I guess my life has been so focused on other things that I simply let the important things fall by the wayside.  What I mean is that I have not been devoting enough time to God as I should be.  I haven't been reading my bible and praying the way that I should.  He gave his son for me so why can't I give him some of my time back.  So I have made a commitment today that beginning tomorrow, I am going to get up every morning, including weekends early enough to have my devotions and prayer time.  I am going to start my day off with God.  I am also committing today that I am going to start my exercise regimen.  I am committing to at least 3 days a week.  Starting today, I am going to the gym (which is here in the building I work in) and exercise (ride the bike or walk the treadmill) for 30 mins.  I am going to do this 3 times a week until I can work myself up to another level.  My goal is that by the time I have my surgery I will be able to exercise at least 1 hour 5 times a week.  So I ask that those of you who read this to please pray for me in these new commitments of mine.  I know that I have to get closer to God in order for him to move in certain areas of my life.  My weight loss is one, my son going off to college is another.  I believe that he has great things in store for me and I know that with his help I will be able to succeed at these new commitments!  By the way, as far as food goes....yesterday was a bomb!  LOL!  But you know what...that is life.  I didn't get down on myself about it.  I just realized that days like yesterday are gonna happen in life and I just have to pick myself up and get back on track (which I did today) and keep it moving (as a very dear friend of mine always tells me)!  Love to you all!
