have i mentioned that i love my bible study? cuz i do. seriously like each week i just come back with all these thoughts in my head and i really love working it all out with other people and with myself. tonight brandon talked about fitness and health and wellness. i mean it's bible study yes, but that's his passion, he's a phys ed and health major so his pasion is helping people through wellness. it's like everyone has their passion, for me it's friendliness, for brandon it's health, and that's so crazy to think about how God has designed us all so differently that we dont' all enjoy the same things we dont' all have similar thoughts- and while we're all similar in many ways, we bring out different parts of different people. it was just an interesting thing to think about because i never realized how selfish my health consciousness is.
i don't go to the gym because i want to be physically fit for God or because i'm very "my body is a temple" i go to the gym because i'm weight conscious and it makes me feel better about myself, because i like to be seen there, i go to the gym to boost my own ego.
i don't eat healthy because i want to stay healthy or because i want to be strong so i can go anywhere God leads me. i eat healthy because i'm self conscious. because i don't want to be seen with a piece of cake or a soda in hand, because i don't want one more reason to be worried about my appearence. i eat heathly to guard myself against stares.
if a person looked at my eating and exercise habits they would probably think that i'm some health nut- i mean think about it, i get up early 3 days a week to go job, i don't drink soda (except the very rare caffine boost or seirra mist in my lemonade), i don't eat deserts (except plastic spoon day-sunday night- when i have frozen yogurt), the only food i have in my room that's mine are reduced fat wheat things and nutrigrain bars, i mean honestly when i read those things i think of myself differently even and all of those things, they're not some pledge to health they're a reason to focus on myself or rather not to have to focus on myself. and that's silly
what's more important love or silliness? changedfish
