Not quite in midseason form...yet

[MadeToSucceed]

I kind of can't wait til you post on YOUR fb page about a trip you take doing some service work.

Don't have to wait much longer...that "trip" will come this evening...more on that in a minute.

After my Men's Group on Wednesday night I went to get a massage. The lady giving me the massage asked me if I pray. I said "Yes...actually quite a bit these days." The next hour she basically talked to me about faith. It was pretty amazing. It was kind of like God was filling my need in that moment through another person. She was sharing somewhat of a testimony with me and essentially told me that she'd made choices earlier in her life that led her to taking herself to "hell" and back and it was only until god brought her to her knees that she was able to begin to rebuild her life.

Whether you're a believer or not, I think this is true for the WAS. Until everything begins to fall apart they'll continue down their paths of destruction.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I saw my counselor at church and had a good talk with him. I also scheduled an appointment to meet with my pastor again for a follow up meeting in a couple weeks. I had class last night and we got out a bit early so I decided to go see Kevin Hart's Laugh At My Pain. It's in select theaters and is only a hour long. I've seen him perform live before and took my W to see him both times. I appreciate his comedy because it's just as the title of the film says...he uses his life's painful experiences to bring about comedy.

I got out of the movies around 11pm and decided to hit the gym. I did cardio for 30 minutes, some ab work and upper body work before I headed home and showered for bed.

Now back to what I mentioned in the first sentence of my post...this evening I'm going to volunteer at a local shelter with some church members. We're going to play games and serve food and just fellowship. It may not be a trip like one of jb's but it's a start for me so I posted it on my fb and twitter accounts. I honestly don't know if my W will see it. She probably won't because I don't think she really is concerned with what I'm doing these days but that's ok. It is something I'm proud of being able to do.

I'm going to take an exam during my lunch break today so that I can sleep in late tomorrow instead of having to go to class. Then I'll go back to work for a few hours, take a few pairs of dress pants to be altered (having lost so much weight, none of my stuff fits right anymore! Good problem to have) and then I'm going to get a haircut before finally going to volunteer today.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to sleep in. I need to schedule my last call with my DB coach Lenni but I want to finish up my LR Letter before I do. Maybe I'll do that tonight before going to bed. I'll probably watch some college football during the day and have halfway considered going to a local play tomorrow afternoon. Wish I had someone to go with though but I may go alone. I'm actually going to have a small fight party as well to watch Mayweather/Ortiz at my apartment. A few friends asked what I was doing for it and figured why not order it and enjoy some food and drinks with friends. I'm looking forward to the weekend. Hope you're all doing well today!
