It's been, like three weeks. Well, I'm a busy lady! Haha! But, the good news is that I'm typing this from my living room! WE HAVE INTERNET AT HOME! YAY!
Quick update...long story short, my heart is A-OK! My thyroid is actually A-OK, too. And, my insulin levels are almost A-OK! "They" think I came back from Jamaica with a virus that caused the dehydration and what not. Then, working out while dehydrated caused my heart to do weird things and make me dizzy. As a precaution, I'm on a 30 Day Event Monitor. It's this obnoxious little monitor that sticks on the upper right of my chest and the upper part of the left side of my belly. If I have symptoms (arrhythmia, palpitations, dizziness, etc), I hit record and call it into the Cardionets center. It's been two weeks, and no symptoms. Woot. Woot. I think I'm gonna' be just fine!
Because I've had no symptoms, I'm back to the grind on working out. Jazzercise actually feels easier! Running, well, it's not so bad. I'm obviously off track on C2-5k, but I'm still doing a 5k Labor Day weekend. I'll push hard until then, and pray for the best!
So, let's see, what's new? Well, since I was out on making the physical side of me better for awhile, I really got to focus on the spiritual. I was praying one day, and I realized that my love for God has grown dramatically in the last few months. Like, for real, I feel like that 16-year-old girl who can't stop gushing about her boyfriend.
I was singing How He Loves in the shower a few weeks ago when God really laid something on my heart...
"Your love has grown now your knowledge needs to grow."
I was a little confused at first. Knowledge? What knowledge? I read the Word, that makes me know Him more. I'm still taking Berean classes, so I'm learning there. So, what did that mean.
"You love me, but how well do you know me?"
Then it hit me. When it comes to really knowing Jesus. Like, knowing the man who came to earth, I don't really know that much about Him. I've got the basics down that I picked up in Sunday School and Easter and Christmas plays, but I don't really know about Him. I mean, even the 16-year-old knows the details of her beaux's life, right?
So, after some prayer, I decided that I really needed to study the life of Jesus. I started a "Life of Jesus in 30 Days" reading plan in my Bible. I'm on day 10, and I love it! Just finished Matthew this morning. For so long, I thought Luke was my favorite gospel - I was wrong. Matthew totally just won!
Don't have any idea what I'm talking about? That's A-OK! Pick up a Bible, and join me! I'll post the reading plan on a separate post so it's easy to come back to! Now, if you're just starting out, three chapters a day might seem like a lot because the Book of Matthew has fairly long chapters. But, isn't being the best you you can be all about challenging your norm?
So, join me! You can (and should) read your Proverb a day. And, if you're a heavy reader (or trying to become one), stick to what you've been reading in the Word and add this Life of Jesus thing as a bonus! Let's all learn together, shall we?
I think we shall!
Peace Out, Home Hearts!
Missy :o)
BTW...This is my new favorite saying...because, frankly, everyday should be ridiculously AMAZING!
