Day 34: Rise

 

 ^{What a fitting word for a Monday...it's pretty hard to rise on Mondays after sleeping in, snuggling with my hubby, and enjoying a big breakfast on Sundays.}

^{In a lot of ways, this week is about performance under pressure and rising to the occasion.  I had 4 days of blogs to catch up on today, I have a mountain of grading to get done by Thursday, I have my final Evaluation & SMART Goal meeting on Friday to prepare for, I have the California/Mexicali trip to pack for this weekend, and in order to meet my original weight loss goal I still have 3 pounds to lose in the next 2 weeks!}

^{I know that if I manage my time correctly, have confidence in myself, and put my focus and efforts in the right places I can accomplish it all - but it's going to take a lot of work and faith...}

^{Mark 9}

²³ “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”
