Spiritual Muscles… No Pain, No Gain

So I just made an awesome discovery while reading my 30 chapters of the Bible today (for those who don’t know: one of my New Year’s Resolutions is to read 30 chapters a day from Genesis to Revelations).

Since I wasn’t able to read earlier in the day and I ended up getting home pretty late, I was pretty tired… but I refused to sleep before reading my 30 chapters. While reading the last few chapters of Deuteronomy, I started dozing… I became restless with sitting… so I tried reading on the floor… then I started getting into positions that were too comfortable…

Eventually, I stood up, paced around, and started reading. Then, I started doing mild stretching and strengthening exercises while reading… then it became a full on hour or so of this… and WOW, it was quite an amazing experience. Not only did I focus well, but I was really getting a bit of a workout! I’m actually quite sore right now and very wide awake… I could go for a hike or something! Haha.

Silly pic from last year… trying to flex next to the very muscular D.Y. Sao.

Oh man, I love that I can build my spiritual muscles while toning my physical ones! I think maybe I should start breaking my 30 chapters into halves… do 15 and warmup… then go hike… then come back and do the rest and stretch!

Ok… this girl should get some sleep even though she’s super HIGH right now. Just got really excited about a possible new exercise routine. Haha. God is good, yo.
