On the road again...

Well... it's been awhile.

So, the update is:  I'm back.

I am back because I know that I need to live my life awake... not just sleeping through the days hoping and dreaming that things will get better some day.  I need to be awake to the possibilities, awake and engaged to make a difference.  I am awake to the spiritual battle, the physical battles, the mental battles.  I am awake and trying my best to stay AWAKE!

So, what am I doing to stay awake:

1)  I am logging my food in My Fitness Pal because it's a great app and seems to keep me aware of my calories and choices.

2)  Reading my Bible every day in attempts to stay connect to the "vine" so I can actually possess the fruit of the spirit:  love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self control.  Journaling what I am learning in my reading/prayer time.

3)  Using my bike:0)  Because I like my bike and I think it's fun!

This is my awakening.
Too many days spent being in the fog of depression and no motivation.  I want to do this because:

1)  I need to feel the joy in my heart.  It's there, its always there, I just had not felt joy or one ounce of happiness for years... walking around like a zombie... consuming the joy of others and leaving them as zombies too... no more.

2)  For my family.  They need me to be joyful and hopeful.  I need to lead them in this example.

3) For my faith to be increased.

4)  For my life to be LIFE.

That is all... for now!
