Tonight Tyra made one of my favorite meals. Poppy seed Chicken, Green Bean Casserole, Corn Casserole, Macaroni and Cheese, and Peach Cobbler. I prepared myself all day for this meal. I got up this morning and I ran a few miles. I then saved up all my calories for the day by not eating. I mean I did not eat anything until I came in and smelt the fresh aroma of the food she had prepared. When it was time to eat I pigged out, I mean I really pigged out. We even had guest over but it did not matter because it was my favorite meal. Just when I thought I could not get anymore in my belly Tyra broke out the peach cobbler. I instantly made room. I know from a nutritional stand point this not the proper way to manage a diet, but I lived all day in anticipation for the meal. Isn't it amazing the sacrifices we are willing to make for things we really desire.
What is it you desire spiritually? What are you willing to sacrifice to get it? Sacrifice is not always easy, but usually the sacrifics we make on the front end pay off in the long run. Someone once said it this way,"You can either play now and pay later or you can pay now and play later." It is a choice we all have to make.
