Inside Out in 90 Days: Day 67

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 67

Workout- Cardio X
Bible Reading- Hosea 13:7 - Amos 9:10

I am currently experiencing one of my most favorite things in the world. As I am sitting here typing, my daughter is laying next to me squeezing my arm and cooing. She has the biggest grin on her face too. I have no idea what she is saying, but I can't help but think that she is thinking that this too is one of her most favorite things to do as well. I know that she won't always want to lay on the couch next to her daddy so for now I am going to cherish the moment. I will stow it away and pull it out on the day that I realize that she would rather hang out with some boy than to sit on the couch with her old man. A boy who will inevitably be some ungrateful punk that I highly disapprove of.

So that's what I am going to do. Enjoy the moment. She is only three months old now, but it feels like just yesterday that I held her in my arms for the first time. Pretty soon she will be crossing things off of the list of life's milestones. Crawling, walking, talking, telling me no, getting sassy... Let's dwell on the cute things for now. Life happens. It comes quickly and before we know it, it is all over. I'm just trying to enjoy it as it comes. I know she has to grow up, but part of me hopes that no matter how old she gets, she will always need her daddy.
