"Voice of Truth" by Casting Crowns

Oh what I would do to have

The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is

And He's holding out His hand

.

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me

Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed

The waves they keep on telling me time and time again.

"Boy, you'll never win!" "You'll never win!"

.

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story

The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"

And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"

Out of all the voices calling out to me

I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

.

Oh what I would do to have

The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant with just a sling and a stone

Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors shaking in their armor

Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me

Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed

The giant keeps on telling me time and time again.

"Boy you'll never win!" "You'll never win!"

.

But the stone was just the right size

To put the giant on the ground

And the waves they don't seem so high

On top of them lookin' down

I will soar with the wings of eagles

When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus

Singing over me

.

I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

Today was a very good day for workout. I felt really pumped and ran for 1.5 miles on the ellipticle, and walked for another .5 - 1 mile on the track. I am starting to feel my body reacting to the workouts and my joints and muscles are loosening up as I train them.

.

I found out that there is a SnapFitness http://www.snapfitness.com opening up merely blocks away from my home. I am going to tour the facility tonight and perhaps get a membership. That will allow me to modify my schedule to walk/run during my lunchtime at work, then stop at the SnapFitness for weights and aerobic after work. This is very exciting for me.

.

Today I am back on my eating plan with prepared foods. The Lean Cuisine dinner I bought was not very tasty, so I didn't eat it all. I also ned to order more XS energy drinks as I have consumed almost my entire supply. The Root Beer flavored drinks (no sugar or carbs, lots of B vitamins) and Cranberry flavored drinks are so tasty that I have gotten somewhat addicted to my daily serving.. I am glad to get this refreshing pick-me-up after my lunchtime workout. It gives a boost of energy for the rest of the day.

.

One more thing.. This morning my pants were uncomfortable and so I went into the mens room with my leatherman tool and pulled my belt tight. I made a new hole on the belt to keep my pants up. I think it was an inch farther in. That is exciting.

.

Well, that is enough for today. I am getting anxious to do measurements this weekend. Maybe I will get someone to help me do the measuring.
