“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men” (Colossians 3:23).
Traffic is starting to pick up! This is exciting. Our 90 day Bible reading challenge begins June 1st, and I will do my best to update frequently as our group here reads through the Bible. You can pick up your own reading guide here [Bookmark (.pdf)]:
http://www.biblein90days.com/index.php?option=com_product&task=viewProd&gid=2
and read along with us! Even if you are not able to commit to the 90 days, the updates will be here and can be read as you read along on your own pace.
As we read along please leave your comments on what you’ve read. This will help teach, bring up further discussion, and bring out important scriptures.
IN OTHER NEWS:
I am finally on track again with my diet, training, and work! My vacation is over, the training has been good, and I have been eating more disciplined than I have for some time now. That also means that new pictures and stats will have to be included in my updates on Bodyspace. I will notify you all when I have made those postings.
I am still unpacking at my new place. I have already lived here a month, but I’ve been so busy that I still have a closet full of boxes! Hopefully I can get everything organized before June, so I can read without the distraction!
I pray that you all are doing well. Prayer requests are also welcome as comments here, and my group will add them to the list! Also, if I have been missing any BIG NEWS since I don’t watch television, someone please update me by leaving me a message here on this post! I will talk to you all soon!
Many thanks,
Sara

Living the Good Life
Jesus "made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross!" (Philippians 2:7-8)

"We need to have Christ exaltation."
I finished reading this last week “In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do” by Charles Sheldon. It’s a great read that was written well before my time. If you would like to read it online or download a copy for yourself, it can be found here on Google Book Search:
http://books.google.com/books?id=cHVIAAAAMAAJ&dq=in+his+steps+charles+sheldon&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&ei=rC4QSpbSKpK0NbqLvVI&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4#PPA1,M1
I highly recommend this book and suggest suggesting it to others! Why not when it can be done for free? It’s a challenging lifestyle the characters take on, asking in every situation “what would Jesus do?” I ask it myself in my life and know that I fail to measure up to my own beliefs of his standards. “The biggest room is the room for improvement!”
I am now reading John Piper’s “Don’t Waste Your Life,” which I picked up from my local library network. It is full of scripture and holds profound messages, but it is also a bit more of a challenge to follow. I’m not yet half way through, so I am sure it will pick up for me soon.
(I am a big follower of John Piper, Paul Washer, and theMill on iTunes podcasts; I would recommend listening to them all! And, if you have suggestions for me, please leave me a message hear with book, sermon, etc. recommendations.)
I’d like to get some conversations going on here, but as you can see my following is yet not that intense. I am planning on beginning the 90 day Bible challenge, and forms for the challenge can be printed here. It is suggested by the website to begin in June, but I think I will start a bit early to get a step ahead (since I am bound to fall behind). Check it out and let me know if you want to join in! It is another adventure I hope to get my roommates in on [I’ve got at least one on board with me]!

In other news, I have begun to workout again. I shall be getting back to updating photos on my Bodyspace very soon: http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/Nutmegpeach/. It is an adventure I hope to get all of my housemates in on as well! Your body is a temple and therefore shall be kept in best health to be able to do the work of God! [Can I get an AMEN?]
The road may seem long, but it really is short! “No one gets out of this life alive,” at least not in the humanistic perception of it all. I have my hope in the Lord. “May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance” (2 Thessalonians 3:5). Don’t waste your life! Stay strong and never lose faith!
Much love,
Sara
