A day off

This Blog
This is my six post. I am really enjoying writing about all this. This current blog is only my testing grounds though. I have plans to make my own website and make this not so much a diary type blog, but more of a help others to help your self christian website. I plan to have pages split up, and focused just on certain tasks and thoughts. Like one for only the push-ups(physical needs). One for over coming sin and so on(spiritual, emotional, and mental needs).

I plan to slowly start to share this site others to get my friends feedback. If you are just joining me, you may want to start at the first post and go backwards.

Push-ups
This is an off day for push-up's again. My shoulder's were sore this morning. I still don't see how I'm going to do 100 push-up's in 6 weeks. My mind can not fathom this goal I have taken on. I am confident I will succeed though. But, what if I don't reach my goal? Am I a failure? No. I will just now know my limits. Should I give up? No. We never grow by giving up. What if I succeed? Wow, wouldn't that be amazing? I would have a story to tell then.

Most of us, me included, when we see something that looks hard, like working out or fasting for days. We tend to see at as impossible. What makes it impossible though. Other people do it. It is only in our minds. Our minds limit us. Those other people just have the willpower and resolve that I have not reached yet. You have to work-out your self discipline as well. Other things can limit us on how we approach it as well. I am not saying we can all approach the same task the same way. I may have to work a little longer at lifting 400lbs than someone that can already lift 350lbs. What gives other people the ability to fast for days, that prevents you or me from doing it? Nothing except for ourselves. I refuse to limit myself anymore. Jesus has died for me to have victory over everything. 1 Corinthians 15:57, "But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through the Lord Jesus Christ." Thank you God! Let us not be angry with a fast, or workout. We can overcome anything with Jesus help and succeed.

I plan to do another challenge maybe after this one has gone 3-4 weeks in or after 6 weeks. I will get back to you on this around 3-4 weeks in. My needs physical challenge will be running. I have found a website to teach you to run a 5K (about 3 miles). Here is the link if you would like to look it over ahead of time. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml
