Discipline...that is a big word to me. I admire my husband of 25 years - he is amazing - and so disciplined. From his steady getting his 8 hours of sleep a night - to his ability to make a candy bar last for weeks. Wow - when I get a candy bar - I can't sleep until it is gone (or even a bag of cookies) - no matter how big it is. My husband can take one of those "Special Dark Chocolate" bars and eat one tiny square piece a day. If I didn't think he would notice - I would consume that chocolate when he wasn't looking.
Looking the word up in the online dictionary -
- a branch of knowledge or learning
- training that develops self-control, character, or orderliness and efficiency
- strict control to enforce obedience
- the result of such training or control; specif.,
- self-control or orderly conduct
- acceptance of or submission to authority and control
I think the "self-control" is what I lack in discipline. From eating too much to not exercising and more importantly, not doing my devotions daily - I have to go to the thrown of God to help me stay on track. I blame it on my personality - but that is wrong.
Lord help me to be more disciplined...
