IS IT THE ENEMY, GOD, OR AM I JUST PLAIN LAZY?
HAVE YOU EVER ASKED YOURSELF "IS THIS THE ENEMY, GOD, OR AM I JUST PLAIN LAZY?"
Last week I talked about how January came in like a wrecking ball. The lesson for January was "how do you stay disciplined when life throws you curve balls?"
I promised to report back on my daily habits that are going to help me reach my goals in health, finances and love this year.
So...drum roll please...I think I did terrible. Mind you I did better than the entire month of January but not as well as I wanted to!
On Monday and Tuesday I completed all my daily habits. The rest of the week I did some of my habits each day.
I injured my back on Wednesday. I was in a lot of pain. I didn't feel like doing much. I did the bare minimal work I had to do and I played chauffer where i needed to. I was bound and determined to stick to a nightly meal plan. But that was about it!
I went to my son's on Saturday, which is two and a half hours away, with an injured back. Loaded up with a brace, an ice pack, a heating pad, and pain meds, I set off. I wasn't going to let a back injury keep me from my grand babies any longer. It had been over a month since I last saw them.
The day went pretty well. I was careful with the kids, guarding my back as best I could.
I left around 5:30 pm with the hopes of getting home about by 7:45 pm. My sister had to leave for work at 8:45 pm and I needed to be home to care for my family member recovering from a broken hip.
About an hour into my drive I got a flat tire.
I called AAA to have them come put my spare on. They told me it would be about a 45 min wait. I thought that was pretty good because I've waited longer than that with other tow companies.
To my extreme delight Christian showed up about 10 minutes later. He had me back on the road in a flash. The problem was I could only drive 50 miles an hour on that donut. I still had about an hour and 15 minutes left to go, over four different freeways. Two of them were two lanes, one in each direction.
THE PRESSURE WAS ON! Driving 50 mph, with my hazard lights on, holding up traffic. Talk about stressful!
About four hours after I had left my son's house, I arrived home. I was exhausted.
Then Sunday there was Super Bowl...so...there's that.
Why do all these negative things keep happening?
2025 was not starting out as MY YEAR!
I was thinking about all the things that have happened since Jan
Is this really God allowing all these circumstances to happen or is it the enemy trying to get me to give up? Or am I just being lazy?
I may never know the answer exactly, but I am going to continue my journey to stay focused on being disciplined. Otherwise, I am never going to reach my goals, and that is just not an option for me any longer.
2025 IS MY YEAR! I AM DISCIPLINED!
