Day 5

Workout- Legs and Back & Ab Ripper X
Bible Reading- Exodus 1-15:1-18

Squats and pull-ups, squats and pull-ups, squats and pull-ups. That is what this workout consisted of. I kind of want to fall over and die. It was really difficult to want to get out of bed and work out this morning. I just wanted to sleep in. I was even dreading this morning last night before I even went to bed. But, I can finally look back now and say that I proud of myself for doing it. I got out of bed and hit play on the dvd. That's a lot more than I was doing last week so I need to be happy. Perhaps I will eventually look forward to it, but I just don't see that happening at this point.

The reading was a little difficult as well this morning. I really had to fight my eyelids to stay open. I was definitely drifting. The story of Moses is quite a good story though. I find myself feeling bad for Pharoah. I'm sure that's not the authors intention, but that's what happened. It seems like he starts to come around to the demands of Moses and then God hardens his heart so the plagues will continue. All of this is an effort on God's part to show his power to the people of Egypt. While this is necessary, I just think that God should throw Pharoah a bone here. Maybe it's just me, but if he wants to change, I think he should be given the chance! But what do I know? I'm not so good at the whole all knowing omnicience thing.
