Why am I doing this?

I have found that I am in need of a project. I also have several goals that seem to be nagging me lately. 1. I need to get in shape. Although round is a shape, it's not so much what I am looking for. 2. I need to read the Bible more. It has yet to become a vital foundation to my faith on a consistent basis. 3. I would like to write more. It's something I greatly enjoy, but simply do not make time for it.

So I have decided to take the next 90 days to simultaneously complete the P90X fitness challenge, Read the Bible in 90 Days, and Blog about my entire experience. Viola! This condenses all three goals into a single project.

Day 11

Workout- Cardio X
Bible Reading- Numbers 8:15 - 21:7

I decided to deviate a tiny bit from the routine that is laid out for me. I was supposed to do the Yoga X workout, but I really, really, really hated the Yoga workout so I decided to do the Cardio one instead. Lucky for me, the first 15 minutes of the cardio workout is yoga! I was overjoyed! Really, the Cardio workout is simply a mix of several of the other workouts all in one. I worked up a good sweat so I feel pretty good about that. Even if I had to do a little bit of Yoga today.

I've been doing a lot of complaining about how boring the last few days of reading have been and how I have no idea why these things are important today. I'm sorry about that. I had a few people give me some good insights that were very helpful. One shared a quote that their bible study had discussed. "All scripture is for us, but not all scripture is about us". Sometimes God just wants us to know the history of where we came from. It doesn't necessarily have to apply directly to our lives. Also, this morning I was sharing with a friend the drudgery of wading through all of the details explained in the book of Exodus concerning the Tabernacle. There is no detail that is left out. He said, "If God cares so much about all of these details, how much more does he care about us and all of the details of our life". Aren't we worth more to Him, than the proper use of lamp stands and placement of jewels on priestly garments? Absolutely we are! Perhaps I can take these thoughts and read with a more positive perspective.
