DON'T FORGET ABOUT MY NIGHTFOOD GIVEAWAY! ONLY TWO MORE DAYS LEFT TO ENTER!
Again, no food list. Today was my first day tracking my food the Weight Watcher's way and I must admit, it has gone pretty well. It's work to figure out the points for everything I eat, but since I eat a lot of the same foods most of the time, I should have mostly everything memorized soon. I cooked dinner tonight (ham and veggie frittata served with Brussels sprouts and cantaloupe) for my roommate and myself, and the whole plate came to just 4.5 points! I like that fruits and (nonstarchy) veggies are now free (i.e., 0 points)! I even added in my pre-bedtime snack, and I still have about 4 points left over. I'm divvying up my 49 extra weekly points between the 7 days of the week, unless I have something special to save them up for. And I'm not taking my exercise as extra points. I want to make sure I lose my extra poundage surely and steadily.
So, enough focus on that. You'll see my first day of Weight Watchers tracking tomorrow. Actually, tomorrow and next Sunday will be the wrap-up of my college survey Bible study course, which means we'll spend the 2 weeks covering Revelation. I was pretty scared to delve into that book of the Bible until one of the elders at church told me it was meant to be an encouragement and comfort to believers. Ironically, I think I like Revelation the best out of the books of the New Testament, probably because it's so visually stunning and stuffed of symbolism. I'm psyched to go to Bible study tomorrow and find out what it's all means (well, at least the first 11 chapters anyway).
As a relatively new believer who spent most of her life trying to wrap her logical mind around something completely illogical and fantastical as the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, I find that I'm now being tested by my waxing and waning acceptance of Revelation as future truth. When I chose to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I knew there would still be some things that would be hard for my mind to swallow. It's come to the forefront because I have a colleague on Facebook who is a Darwinian through and through, and some of what she says and reposts piques my interest and/or makes sense to me.
It makes me think of when I was talking with Emily, a young girl in my life at the time (probably about 8 years old at the time), about how the human species came to be. We discussed the (8-year-old version) merits of each side, and she said, "Maybe God put the organisms on Earth and then evolution grew humans." As someone who loves to synthesize ideas, that was the second smartest thing I have ever heard from a young person!
I'd like to know what you think :-)
