Problems give meaning to life

Obstacles are conditions of success. 

A life free of all obstacles and difficulties would reduce all possibilities and powers to zero. 

Eliminate problems and life loses its creative tension.

-John Maxwell

Exercise

I have realized something.  I am a happier, more energetic person when I excercise.  I seem to get more done with a better attitude on the days I excercise.  I feel better about myself and I make better eating choices.  So why do I have to talk myself into it and then drag myself to the TV for the video EVERYDAY?  It just doesn't make sense.

Best Year Yet

My 2009 was definately the best year yet.  I have a stronger faith, a little more patience, and I realize again how much I really don't know (compared to when I was a teenager, then I knew everything).  I have deeper friendships, a better marriage, and more wonderful girls.

I have let a lot go to gain more of Him.  I have seen just a little more of my Father and realized that He really is proud of me.  I've had more prayers answered and spiritual breakthroughs than ever before.

I see that I have so many areas to grow in.  I fail everyday.  But today I looked back and saw how far I have come and I am so grateful.

I believe that 2010 will be EVEN BETTER.  Because that is the wonderful, beautiful, loving God we serve.
