A Good Day

Today was a good day. Here are some reasons why.

• I ate a delicious double chocolate chip muffin for breakfast.
• I watched 3 episodes of Battlestar Galactica. SUCH a good show... and one that I always made fun of my roommate for watching until I checked it out for myself. 
• Jesus and I hung out for a little while. I'm reading through the Bible in a year and am currently going through Genesis, the Psalms, and Matthew. The idea of siting down and busting through the Old Testament sounded horrific and given my attention span, I probably would've given up after the first listing of genealogies. But the reading plan I'm currently using allows me to read a little from the Old Testament, New Testament, and the Psalms each day which has been really enjoyable thus far.
• I intentionally exercised for the first time in about a month. I rode the stationary bike for approximately 25 minutes before deciding that I was way too out of shape to continue. While riding, I read a couple of chapters of "Wicked." The jury's still out on whether or not I'm enjoying this book. I've actually never seen the Wizard of Oz but "defying gravity" was about a  4-month-long song obsession of mine and I'm completely starstruck by Idina Menzel so I figured I'd give Wicked a try.
• After "exercising" for a few minutes, it only seemed natural to stuff myself with incredible leftover indian food... and by no stretch of the imagination was my chicken curry only a spice level 2. I can't even begin to fathom what a spice level 6 would do to my body. 
• The roomie and I took a trip to the community park and I received some wonderful coaching on the basics of lacrosse. Words cannot describe how refreshing it was to be involved in some sort of athletic activity again. I'm pretty sure that a tiny piece of my heart died the day I stopped playing softball.
• I enjoyed some great fellowship and an incredible dinner with the other Miami Cru interns. It continually blows my mind when I stop and think about how crazy-blessed I am to have the people in my life that I do...and with that, the fact that the #1 job priority listed on my job description for campus ministry with Cru is to be walking with Jesus. How freaking awesome is that?

That is all. I hope your day was a good one. And if it wasn't, I want to encourage you to hang on to the hope that tomorrow will be better.
