Christ Walk - Day Six.

Last night was probably my least favorite walk.  It was late, I was in the basement, and it felt like it took forever to hit 2.2 miles.  It doesn't help that I could watch each hundredth of a mile tick by while walking.

I couldn't stand how long it was taking so kicked it up and jogged a good chunk of it.  Success.  

Today, I was shocked to wake up to rain again.  I got a late start on the day and I still haven't had much luck getting a real good day going.  I'm tired.  My mind is tired.  My legs hurt.  I have several things to accomplish around the house but none that I am looking forward to completing.  You know what happens then...?  I distract myself - in the cabinets, the fridge, my phone.  I got tired and lost my focus today.  

Ironically enough, Day Six in Christ Walk talks about how we turn to our vices before turning to God in order to cope. "We look for solace in food or alcohol or drugs in an attempt to manage our spiritual, mental, or physical distress.... I learned to replace my bad habits with healthier habits of prayer, physical exercise, and mental exercise."

We went from rain, to busy lunch/naptime, to hot hot outside.  I told Seth I was going to walk this evening when it cools off.  He said it isn't going to cool off.  I have already walked 1000 intentional steps today but don't feel like they even count.

I'm borderline lost today.  I think the first few days shed so much light and now the obstacles are coming and I'm facing some things inside that haven't gotten a grip on yet.  I guess I need to make that my prayer focus and not forget Philippians 4:6...
