thinking

i am good at starting things and making plans and quite bad at finishing.

maybe you didn't know that, since i went through 8 yrs of school to be a doctor and am in year 2 of 4 for residency. or because i've maintained friendships for years and years.

but simpler things....i'm bad at.

1. flossing regularly (i admit)
2. stretching
3. reading my bible chronologically (numbers and leviticus get me everytime)
4. knitting
5. following through on learning how to swim and ride a bike
6. cooking for myself regularly
7. taking my vitamins
8. memorizing scripture

i'm really trying to have a better pattern of life. i manage to keep up with dumb things consistently, so this is convicting.

i can do this!

in other news, I am starting my reading of the Bible in order again, and am about half way through Genesis (just finished Noah's story). I was struck again (with the aid of a handy concordance) of the depth of the beginning of the human story. and of God's complete love and mercy on us. Just blown away.

He is good.
