Out with tho old in with the new..

This adventure with God I do not take lightly.  You see without God there is no adventure.  On this day, I've started something new.  I have a new routine!  I will no longer sleep til 7:30-8:00...As of this morning my new wake up time is 6:00 A.M.  You see, this adventure takes discipline!  There are some things that just must occur!  The very first thing that will occur is that I will read my bible and do my prayer time FIRST THING not after my to-do list and after catching up on Facebook.  GOD will be FIRST! 

Sometimes an adventure can be uncomfortable. God has asked me to do some house cleaning in some of my relationships.  HARD...Absolutely, but it must be.  You see, God wants me to be friends who encourage me, are positive people, and who sincerely care about me.  Let's flip the page...that road goes both ways.  I need to be that kind of friend too.  I actually heard an amazing sermon online yesterday (I was at home ill).  Be the kind of friend you want to have.  So, that's also part of this adventure.  I"m going to be working on me and how I treat my friends/acquaintances.

There are some old ways that need to go of mine.  Let's see, like stinking thinking. Yep, old satan loves to have a hay day with me and speak lies of doubt, discouragement, and confusion.  However, God's voice is more powerful and through the pages of God's Word I will memorize, speak, and defeat Satan with God's Word! 

Another part of my routine will be exercise!  I've already worked out this morning!  You see in my garage is workout equipment!  It's been collecting dust...So, we (Sean, my hubby, and I ) cleaned them off made sure they're in good working order.  I walked on the treadmill this morning and worked on my legs!  Just like my spiritual health needs to be in order so does my physical!  I have a goal to loose about 25ish lbs!

Last but not least, during my quiet time this morning, God has laid on my heart to find a female spiritual mentor.  I am currently seeking God about a Godly woman who can be my spiritual mentor and encourage me in this walk.  We'll see what God does here! 

I'm attaching a song I was listening to during my morning work-out...I hope it blesses you!


God bless your day,
Alicia Roark :)
