Old Habits Do Die!

They say old habits die hard. For the last month I have been pulled so far out of my comfort zone that any habits I've held have had to go out the window. My daily routine has been interrupted and now I'm beginning to think (actually I know) God interrupted my day to day living to get my full attention. I no longer have the luxury of surfing the net when I want to, watching the TV shows I want to watch or even decide when I will eat, clean, cook or get dressed! My needs have had to be put on the back burner for the needs of others. But the one thing I have learned to do is get up early in the morning so that I can spend time with God. I have learned that water, just like my need to read the bible is a must for my daily living. For the first time that I can recall in my lifetime, exercise is a necessity so that I can maintain the stamina that is needed to do the task set before me. After eating "healthy for 14 days (not to mention spending two days fighting off food poisoning) my body no longer craves sweets! As a matter of fact just the thought of them causes me to gag. Things that I considered important or that caused me to stress no longer bother me in the same way. I am in a place of peace that I have not known before, and its a habit I am willing to accept. Yes, old habits do die hard, but new habits may be the key to living!
