#daytwo- January 2, 2016: The struggle is Real!

I am feigning to catch up on a show... Right now, I would even settle for Nick Jr. with my dog! Not even kidding. 

Day two was kind of hard. I went to work that morning and worked for about 6 hours. Normally, after working on a Saturday I would go home, cuddle up with my dog in my bed, and watch television!! I wanted to do that so bad... I could have even gone for a Netflix and chill kind of evening. As I stated on my last blog, I pretty much had made up in my mind that I was going to take a nap and get back on my duties when I woke up! That didn't happen because my cousin FaceTimed me just as my head hit the pillow!! "Dang, how did I forget to put my phone on silent?!!"  Lol All good though! It forced me to get up and start cleaning again. 

I am proud to say that I have sorted through my clothes and my closet is CLEAN!! There are a few other things that I had planned to do, but that's not the point! I am being more productive. I'm kind of winning right now. 

My favorite part about this blog so far is that I get to assess myself and how I'm doing with this challenge. I noticed that I may or may not be ( I totally am...) replacing television time with talking on the phone! I almost have to be on the phone at all times now while I'm home.  It's like when people stop smoking cigarettes... Those people usually replace it with eating more! I'm pretty much replacing one bad habit with another one. I know I'm doing it to keep from being bored! I'm soooooo bored! Ugh! 

I'm going to figure this thing out!! Maybe I'll make a list of tasks that I can accomplish along with my daily goals... because right now... I'm not so sure how I'm going to do this without napping all day or talking on my phone. 

Anywho...Day two down.. 364 more to go... Freakin Oh.EM.GEE!! Y'all pray for me! 

Happy Sunday by the way! 

I posted this on my Instagram and I'll post here as well! I woke up feeling completely grateful to be loved by God! I can always count on his love, his guidance, and his support! No greater love than to give one's life for his friends! I am forever grateful to have that kind of love! To know that someone literally, like for real, for real, laid down his life so that I may have life!! With that thought alone, it convicts me to live a more fulfilling life! If I gave up my life for someone, I would hope that it would be so that person can live... in the moment, in the now, resembling my characteristics, and testifying of that kind of love! I sometimes overlook that, but I won't moving forward! 

Everyday without television is a day with God, a day to live, and a day to testify of his goodness!!

Y'all choosing life today?! 

With love, Stix!
