Day 3

Meant to Be - Steven Curtis Chapman

Long before you drew your first breath
A dream was coming true

God wanted to give a gift to the world
So he wrapped it up in you

Every step that you've taken
Every move that you make
Is part of his plan

You were meant to be touching
The lives that you touch
And meant to be here
Making this world so much more
Than it would be without you in it

You were meant to be bringing
The gifts that you bring
And singing the songs
You've been given to sing

You are perfectly, wonderfully,
Beautifully meant to be
You were meant to be

Long before you took your first fall
You stumbled to the ground
God started telling the story of you to the angles around
Every failure and victory
Everything inbetween
Its all in his hand

You were meant to be touching
The lives that you touch
And meant to be here
Making this world so much more
Than it would be without you in it

You were meant to be bringing
The gifts that you bring
And singing the songs
You've been given to sing

You are perfectly, wonderfully,
Beautifully meant to be
You were meant to be (yeah)
Meant to be
You are
You are
You are meant to be
You are
You are
You are meant to be

For every breath that your taking
And every move that you make
It's a meaningful life you've been given
Live it well

You were meant to be touching
The lives that you touch
And meant to be here
Making this world so much more
Than it would be without you in it

You were meant to be bringing
The gifts that you bring
And singing the songs
You've been given to sing

You are perfectly, wonderfully,
Beautifully meant to be (yeah)
You were meant to be (yeah)
You were meant to be (yeah)
You were meant to be
To be
You were meant to be


I went to the gym last night to get a free fitness consultation.  It was basically a guy telling me everything that is wrong and things that are right with my fitness. It was a whole sales pitch.  He said things like, "You'll have to get used to taking compliments" and "liking what you see in the mirror." He clearly could not read me at all. But, I did leave there feeling more discouraged than when I went in. I did get some valuable information, I suppose.  He said to build some muscle so I will burn fat faster. That makes sense.  I decided to do some weights at home this morning instead of going to the gym. I didn't go to the gym because I was still feeling discouraged.  What he said made me feel like what I am doing is useless and the only way to get a fit body is by paying between $1,200 and $3,600 a year for it.  That is just not feasible for me. If I could afford it, then maybe I would do it... Maybe.

It is hard not to feel discouraged.  I really need to get my life organized.  I know that would help.

What am I working on right now?

- finishing my degree
- getting healthy


What do I want to be working on right now?

- writing my book
- keeping a clean house
- helping people


Ugh.  I messed up at work today.  I mean, it's not the end of the world, but I definitely should have handled it differently.  I hope it works out.  Well, I know for next time!!


Back to Organized Life... What are my priorities? What is important to me? I think I will feel better once I get my course started.  Even reading some of the textbooks yesterday made things feel better.
