Unashamed & Abundant Life Main Quest: To live life abundantly and unashamed. Committing to living with purpose and not letting how I feel dictate what I do. Goals: 1. Awaken – Death of the Snooze Monster Rise by 6:00 am every day and STAY UP! Facilitate wakefulness by prepping clothes to dress in, a glass of water, keeping the clock on the other side of the room, and turning on the lights right away. 2. I'm a Gym! Complete six weeks of body weight training as part of the 10 week program on my YAYOG app. 3. Guiltless Eating. Romans 14:22-23 “...Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith...†The context of those verses is about bearing with people who think differently and following your conscious. I don't know what I should be fueling myself with (Gluten free? Paleo? Crazy RAW?) but I have a pretty good idea what I should NOT be eating (donuts... third helpings of anything... etc). Until I figure some things out I'm going to just make this part of the challenge be about eating without regrets. So when I pray before I meal I will make sure I reflect on the food I've set before me. Life Quest: 1. Complete Bush Craft skills for Beginner Level Patch. Bush Craft. http://bushcraftusa.com/ Think “boy scouts†but with more knives, fires, and make-shift stuff and fewer politically correct rules and safety guidelines. It'll make me get outdoors with my sons to enjoy God's creation. Our afternoons should look like this: Setting stuff on fire, sharpening knives, making tarp shelters, snaring small animals (preferably the ones eating the chickens...), and generally having fun. Motivation: 1 Cor 10:31 "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." This quest is about killing the hypocrisy I see in my life. God bears with me through all my crazy and offers love when I don't deserve it. With Him on the throne, I'm not a slave to snacks, nor am I a victim of sloth who wastes away precious time daydreaming in bed. I am unashamed of Him, and He is unashamed of me – not because of anything I do, but because of what He has already done on my behalf.
