I started doing P90X a couple weeks ago. Something he says a lot is "Do your best and forget the rest." I love this phrase, and not just for exercising. For everything in life. I can't tell you how many hours I spent wasted, thinking of all the times I've failed. Failed at big things like quitting college, or failed at little things, like not doing the laundry this weekend like I should have. Life is just full of little challenges and obstacles, ready to bring you down and make you fail. You might know them as their alias, satan. And the only thing you can do is do your best and forget the rest.
Do you ever sometimes feel like perhaps you set a goal, maybe, cleaning your house. And no matter what, you can't seem to get it done. After the weekend, you have a mess of a house and guilt for not achieving something you set out to achieve. Then you spend the next hours, days, feeling bad about it. And it makes you feel like a failure as a wife and a mom and a homemaker that you didn't get it done. This is satan popping up. Making it harder on you to feel good about things you've done. Its hard for people to get back up and try again sometimes. But I love that each day, you can do your best and forget the rest. Because it really doesn't matter if you had a bad day today. If you woke up from a 2 hour night sleep because your baby was sick, you have a horrible hair day and you were late to work, and the best you could bare to do is just get there, then just know tomorrow is another day, and it will be a better day. Forget the rest. Your best may look different from day to day. You can't always be the best in other peoples eyes, but as long as you know you are doing the best you can today, that's all that you can really do.
God tells us that he will renew our lives. He will renew your spirit. He wants you to persevere, keep going. Just do your best and don't give the devil get a foothold. Don't let him pull you down.
That being said, we had a very busy weekend. I actually felt pretty productive and had some good energy...so it was a good weekend. Gigi and Pops came over - they can't stand to let a week go by without visiting with us - and the scene was pretty much stare at Avery and take pictures. Jordan and Soph were at a party this afternoon so they were only here for a little while. She has start eating cereal recently and dad has been excited to feed her. I started to feed her and was into it a few bites when he said "Ok, time for me to cut in." He is excited that she is getting big enough for some fun food! Just a few more weeks and it will be time for some veggies!!!
Have a good Monday morning everyone!
