Over the last 10 days, I have realized that improving one area of my life is a trickle effect in improving other areas of my life. At the same time, it somewhat paradoxically makes me have to focus and work harder to improve and keep tabs on those other areas. For example, I improve my eating habits and exercise habits but I find myself judging others for eating bad and not working out, so my spiritual life needs to be in better check as well as my mental. But overall, I'm pretty happy with the improvement I've felt in my life.
Last night we went over to Pete and Denise's house to hang out in comfy clothes and watch a movie. I sat there last night and looked at them and thought about our friendship with them and I couldn't help but privately thank God for bringing them into our lives. My friendship with Denise and our friendship as a couple is something I have prayed about for a long time and wanted, yet I have always been so dang picky with the people I like to be around consistently. I'm always afraid that when people get to know me too well and know too much about me, they'll conveniently start fading from my life. Generally it's me, I am the one who starts finding excuses to not be around people. But with Pete and Denise, I can't wait to see them again and hang out with them. There is a realness about them that is so refreshing, an accepting spirit and welcoming sarcasm that makes me feel like I have known them forever. Whether or not they know it and whether or not I'll ever be able to tell them fully, their friendship has made a significant impact on my life as well as this whole 10-day challenge thing. Is that weird?
