Ode to discipline (anti-poetry style)

We all know the secret to weightloss; eat less, work-out more. We all know how to get closer to The Lord; read the bible, pray to him, have faith. These are basic and easy. But for both I manage towork really hard at making it harder. I can't make myself eat-less, so I do a diet. I buy a book that tells me 10 small changes I need to make to make the pounds disappear. We do this in our faith as well. We read books about God, we talk about God, we want more of a relationship with God, but I don't do what I actually need to do to be closer. 

It takes discipline. Each of the things need to be down aren't hard to do, but you have to build your life around doing them, and making it so you ARE doing it. 

I sluff off a lot. Even though it's not that hard to be discipline, it's so easy NOT to be. Becoming closer to The Lord takes some brainpower, vulnerability and energy--watching TV?.. ZERO! 

I am now working on living a life of discipline. It's hard. I have to change my mindset. My routine. My whole lifestyle actually. But I'm living better; with more purpose. And I love that. I'm also a different person, and that needs to be. 

I ordered " the power of a praying women" and going to start the real and intense Gideon study from Priscilla shirer. Though these are both NOT the bible, I feel The Lord wanting me to know and grow in him through these resources. So, I'm going to do it, and hopefully, I will be a complete and new person, a better, stronger person, and have The Lord flowing out of me in an vast unmeasurable way.
