When pressure is applied, I find the real me appearing. Not even subtly. Loud, obnoxious, and immature. Overwhelmed by my own pride and selfishness, I throw tantrums. Like a five year old who didn't get her way, I yell and pull at my hair. This is not who I am. This is not the child of God I was created to be. And yet, I find myself in a posture of regret after humiliating myself. There is no excuse for my behavior. No matter what happened to me in my past, this is me in my present. I have everything in Christ. There is no need for insecurity.
As always, I find myself needing prayer. May You break me down, O Lord, until my life and everything in it honors You. May You build Your kingdom in the midst of my brokenness.

It's a great thing to understand about ourselves... and a very real picture for us to view of who we are in our old way. But praise God that we are renewed in our new life daily, and each day we can hand our ways to Him and recieve His life in us fresh and anew. Remember what Paul said... "I beat my flesh into submission daily..." or something to that effect. May we practice the submission of our flesh until our only way of life is found flowing from Christ.
Ah, shad up and step into it, girl.
The work is already done.

Screw all the whinery (ya like that?), screw all the head doings and undoings, just step into the work that He has already done.
It is finished. End of story.
To all who have asked about P90x Reviews diet and/or gaining weight (muscle) with it, I can give you my experience from having been there. I have been skinny my entire life, despite what I thought was right. What I have discovered, at age 44, is that nutrient is 80% of your gains and losses. I lifted tons of weight, (low rep, max weight), but I never ate enough period, and I didn��t eat the right stuff P90x Workout. Now that I have been on the Sonoma Diet (not really a diet- try it) which is really similar to the P90X diet, I am gaining muscle and dropping fat. You are what you eat, and if you eat sugars, starches (white breads, donuts, pastries, etc Beats by Dre Earphones.) and fat, you aren��t going to gain muscle, you��re going to gain fat Beats by Dre Headphones. If you��re a hard gainer, you have to eat more of the good stuff Beats by Dre. P90X and Sonoma tell you what the right stuff is- AND IT TASTES GREAT Px90 Workout!!!
