snooze day 2.

well, it's going well, PTL.  I honestly didn't think i would be able to do it.  snooze has become so engraved  into my life that the sloth literally might be considered an idol.  i'm not quite sure on that but i think thats accurate.  i  tried to go for a bike ride yesterday and found a road by accident that was about .7 miles at a pretty steep grade uphill.  after a VERY short time, i gave in and started walking up the hill.  .  .  well, i didn't know how big this hill was, and decided to go till the tippy top.  i got there, and realized i hadn't biked much, so i decided to go until a cross street.  i got pretty weary (ya, i'm out of shape!) so as i continued, i just wanted to give up, turn around and coast down the hill... then i heard a still small voice, "are you a quitter, or a presser-on-er?"  WOAH!  talk about revelation.  we need to be presser-on-ers moving ahead even when we don't feel like it, i made it to the end of the road, down the hill and i almost wanted to give up AGAIN on my journey back to the house, but perservering, and exhorting myself, i pressed on. 
they say, first in the natural, then in the Spirit, this is what i strive for and what i hope to attain throughout my life. . . its a journey of valleys and mountains folks.
i find myself living somewhere inbetween at the moment.  not sure if i'm headed up or down, but the one thing i do konw is i must keep moving pressing on toward the higher calling, realizing that  to be exalted i must be humbled.
