I survived!

Hehehe....the first day with the personal trainer went way better than I thought!  It was nice to see that I could do more than I thought my body could do.  She did give me a diet plan that includes lentil soup so now I am on a hunt for lentil soup recipes.

I'm fortunate that I can listen to music, sermons or talk radio while I'm at work...I'll be honest talk radio isn't something I listen to.  I've been listening to Mark Driscoll preach through the book of Nehemiah and it has been amazing.  I know some people aren't Driscoll fans, but I have listened to alot of his sermons and have yet to find something I disagree with.  Plus you aren't going to agree with everyone all the time.  Back to Nehemiah he was in chapter 5 and talking about hospitality and it opened my eyes to the fact that hospitality involves more than inviting someone over for dinner and making them feel welcome.  It also involves the way one interacts with others period.  This really convicted me because when I'm out and about my main objective is to go unnoticed.  I will look at my feet when I walk or I will check my Facebook and texts alot or I will read a book if I have to wait in line somewhere (I always have a book on me).  With this conviction reminded me of a dear friend who once during bible study said when she goes to the grocery store she smiles ALOT, she makes eye contact with others and says hello and her goal is for others to see Jesus in her.  How are others going to see Jesus in me if I'm looking at the ground and have my don't even look at me face on?????
