Excuses, excuses

It's amazing how easy it is to make excuses. I'm not going to go to the gym because I need to clean the kitchen. I am not going to do my homework because I feel tired. I am going to have candy, dessert and more dessert because I've got family in town.

You've probably guessed what I did this weekend. I ate a gigantic amount of sugar, and some gluten. I'd like to think I'll stop making excuses, but the truth is, it's so much easier to make those excuses. All there is really for me to do is to lean in Christ's love and trust that He is forming me each day to be better than I was before. I have to allow Him to teach me how to be a better steward of what he's given me, from my skills, to my money, to my body. I have to allow Him to teach me how He wants me to use these gifts.

After all, their not really mine anyway.
