I don't know you, but this post caught my eye! I can definitely relate. Now, I wish I had some profound word that would encourage you, but I myself am still very much in the process of thinking through a lot of this. In fact, I wrote a post about it not too long ago. My resolution? To obey God. To keep walking humbly with Him and not set a bunch of unrealistic and unattainable goals for myself to make myself feel better about myself. Anyway, I write more at length on it here if you are interested in reading! God bless you sister! http://hollymark.wordpress.com/2007/12/24/only-one-thing-is-necessary/ Holly Hey Anna!

It really means a lot and it's such a blessing to hear from others who are experiencing or have experienced the same things. :-) Catalina, I definitely never played sports. I am sort of a klutz, and I'm not good at group sports. :-P In earlier high school I did lots of workout videos and such, but what I was referring to in the post was circuit training. I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but it's basically alternating different types of exercises to get a well-rounded workout. I'd be happy to e-mail you more about it if you're curious, although I'm far from being a workout expert. :-) And I definitely have lost the habit this past semester! Everyone,

I'm doing the same. Just out of curiosity--what did you do in high school in terms of a workout routine? Did you do sports teams? It's so great that you've been able to continue the habit and fit that in, even in college! Thanks, and good luck with your resolution.

This post really spoke to me ... I'm 46 and still struggling with balance. One of the places I've found rest is here: http://www.flylady.net ... I hope you will too. Two things: you're never behind and baby steps will get you where you need to go. Just remember those things and you'll do fine. Hi Anna … lovely blog.

What you wrote about here reminds me of Paul's dilemma, doing the things he shouldn't, not doing the things he should. Such is the story of my life as well. To me, there's wisdom in not drawing a line in the sand, not establishing rules (as you mentioned here, avoiding the whole legalism thing), that just gives strength to breaking them, ya know? When I do focus on Jesus, r e m e m b e r that He's present with me, my life falls into order. My (stupid) problem is that I'm a chief forgetter :/. You're so young to have realized these things; realization is the beginning of being able to change, I think. Food for thought, for sure...this is the time of year for such things :). Hey Anna,

Thanks for stopping by my blog. You're right- we do have a lot in common! Beyond the fact that we are both studying English, I also want to share with you that I grew up in a home similar to yours- I was only allowed to drink one juice box a day, too! I completely understand what you mean about letting go of those habits and rules when you have a little freedom- I've done it, too! It is actually one of my resolutions to get back into the habit of exercising in the mornings. Hey, maybe we can hold eachother accountable! ;) I will most likely be writing about my Advanced Grammar class, too. Have a wonderful New Year!! Blessings, Krista Hi Anna!

I really admire the Harris brothers as well, and I want to emulate how they are using their gifts to spread such an important message. :-) Thanks for the comment! Kristi,
