Learning to Listen

I'm in week three of the 1000 minute challenge, and I admit, I have fallen behind. It's not hopeless, but it goes to show once again that forming habits is often a mix of success and failure. I haven't given up changing my body, increasing my lean muscle mass, but the road beneath my feet is anything but smooth.

I've been studying imaginative prayer of late, inviting God into my imagination to experience His presence and His perspective on the many people and problems I bring to Him, and I've begun to see that when I give my own voice a rest, I can hear His...and it ends up changing what I ask for, what I say. I plan to bring the goals I have for my body into this place and just listen to what God is saying, how He's seeing the issue and let Him identify where my real struggle lies.

Yeah, I think it's time to listen.
