joys of discipline ...

i dont make new years resolutions ... but i do look back at recently ended years and rejoice over what the Lord has done and then aim to look forward to what He will do this next year ... Phil 3:14!

and I seek to see what needs improvement in my life ... and I have come to a very strict and firm conclusion that discipline is a highly lacking area in my life. now, i know, this is very shocking and earth shattering ... a child of God needing to practice discipline better! oh my gosh! crazy ... I know, I know.

but, hopefully as the next days, weeks, and even months pass I will have many new thoughts about discipline and how through seeking the Lord for more discipline in all walks of my life, I will develop new insights which i can share ... I am very excited about this, cause I have a very strong conviction that this is what the Lord wants me to strive after ... discipline in all areas of life!

so, more to come, I promise ... 

and in the mean time, the prominent areas are spiritual disciplines in seeking the Lord through the various means of grace He has graciously given to us, physical disciplines to be in better shape through consistent and well round exercise and earlier bed time for earlier rise and shine times, work/school disciplines, which is basically not procrastinating.

so with that, I jump in head first, trusting the Lord for this work which He is beginning!
