It is finished

School has been keeping me so busy.

If I ever have free time from reading Martin Luther, Chemistry, or Anatomy,

 I use that time to rot my brain with TV, mindless talking, exercise videos, or random excursions off campus.

Lately I feel like all of Samford has been in the "pre-spring bug".

This includes excessive exercise and random people wearing shorts outside when it only 50 degrees!

INSANE PEOPLE.

Most people go MIA around 6 because they are dancing, stepping, and singing the night away!

I have had great quality time with the sweet girls on my hall who are not doing it.

JKH and I have been in this Jillian Michael's crazy.

We are trying to workout and get healthy for spring.

I better have no more trouble zones after this!

In 8 weeks I will look like this!

NOT!

I have been waddling my way around campus for the past 3 days.

I think I forgot what it feels like not to be sore every time I try to sit down.

It hurts but the goal will be worth it... hopefully.

Jesus Calling kinda reminds me of the feeling I am going through with my workout craze.

I get frustrated that I have to do this at all.

Why can't my life be easy.

I wish I never had this problem.

I could be that girl who eats anything I want and not show it at all.

Give up the illusion that you deserve a problem-free life.

Part of you is still hungering for the resolution of all difficulties.

As I told you, in the world you will have great trouble.

Link your hope not to problem solving in this life but to the promise of an eternity of problem-free life in heaven.

Instead of seeking perfection in this fallen world, pour your energy into seeking Me: the perfect one.

[JesusCalling]

I really do catch myself getting frustrated and upset with things in this world.

Why is that?

Because I am seeking my satisfaction in them.

Yes there will be problems but we should use those to cling to the Lord.

We must find our peace through the Lord.

John 16:33

 I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.

 In this world you will have trouble.

But take heart! I have overcome the world.

It is finished.

With Love From My Father,
