3 in 30 week 3

Week 3 has brought much improvement with my goals. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading my book called, "Stepping Heavenward", a book about one young woman's journey to godliness. The setting is late 1800's which at first thought would seem to be out of touch in our 21st century. But as I read this book I am reminded of how the human condition is universal and timeless. The book is written as a journal and the young woman records her thoughts, many of which are so much like my own. I laugh at parts because she sounds like me at times and we share a struggle of wanting to grow in Christ but continue to battle 'the flesh'.

My goal of guitar playing was greatly neglected this week. I think my struggle is because I am essentially beginning a new hobby, and my life is busy enough as it is without trying something new! So, I'm a bit disappointed that my lofty goal of playing my guitar was out of reach but not without hope because I realize that now is not the time in my life for that goal.

My 3rd goal of exercising 4x/week has been cut to 2 this week (although, if I wake up early enough tomorrow I could make it 3....here's hoping). This was due to my finally succombing to the germs floating around my house. So, I was laid up earlier this week with a bad cold. Maybe I'll write tomorrow that I actually was able to get that 3rd day in after all!

So, if there is any encouragement from this week it is this: "to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven" (to quote both Ecclesiastes and that old song). And it's good to learn that some things just don't work out because there just isn't time for that....right now.
