Day 2

What are new habits that I want to create? 

Daily prayer for myself and my children
Daily rosary
Daily exercise for myself and my children
Daily gratitude for both gifts and lessons
Daily devotions from Courage to Change and Love Dare and OTG
Daily journalling
Working the Love Dare in my marriage, love and support. 

Good Lord, I'm out of time lol!  The reality is, that these things should all come to me as easily as showering each morning.  But truthfully, some days it is very hard to get going and hop in the shower.  I procrastinate.  I sneak in a few more minutes of sleep or rest or quiet and sneak in a shower while the baby naps or the nanny tidies.  What am I hiding from those mornings? 

Over the past four months, most morning are spent doing spiritual work, devotions, journalling, reading my FB stuff.  Some time is spent in prayer, or catching up on my school readings or bible study.  Most of my prayer and rosary moments are done just as I am drifting off to sleep.  Is that enough for me right now?  Is that what God wants?

All of the things above are those which will benefit me, and hopefully please the Lord.  Is that my goal, or is it to behave in a godly manner?  Is there a difference?  Am I being too hard on myself, or not hard enough?  I can't eat an egg raw, but if I overboil it then it will crack.  Where is the happy medium so that my boiled egg is perfect for me?  Does God care how he eats his eggs, or is he just happy that I showed up to cook breakfast at all?  Am I making this too complicated?
