contest

so, me and mike are doing two competitions at once right now.I'm pretty excited about them because i feel like change is coming and this is what i need to kick start my life in these areas. I feel as if God has been speaking to me alot lately, it seems like when i read something in a book, i hear it later that day on a cd, on tv or thru a friend. So i feel as if God has been doing some work in me and it's not always easy but God's blessings are showing up in my life because of it. One thing was that i was praying for a crib for owen, and my mother in law and her husband took us to Target to pick out a crib and mattress for him. I was very very blessed. Especially since the week before i felt as if God was saying, that i had this attitude that i deserved things and really i don't deserve anything, anything and everything we have is a gift.

So the two contests' we are doing...one is related to our business. Motivating us to do daily things to grow personally and to see our business grow.
the other is one my mom started with some ppl at church and it's '40 Days to Prosperous Living'
and the goal of that one is to be healthier in our life, physically, spiritually and emotionally. With both of them you get points for doing things ( or not doing things) Like the healthy living you get a point if you don't watch tv, if you don't drink pop or alcohol, etc..You get points for eating so many servings of fruit and veg, glasses of water etc. Spending time with God, exercising.
So Today is the first day of the healthy living one and i feel great already. Me and mike are also counting calories so hopefully i can lose some of this baby fat and he wants to get lean and work out to get muscle. I've already done lots of the things today and that feels great. The hardest one might be the getting 7-8 hrs sleep....:)
wish me perseverance.
