In this past season of our married life, Ivan and I have done a spiritual discipline of sorts where we do listening prayer for five minutes and then for another five minutes we respond in prayer. It has helped.
We have recently tacked on an additional discipline or two: 10 push-ups and 10 sit-ups. Um. We are seriously out of shape. Yesterday was the first of the 10′s. The prayer part was easy but the sit-ups almost killed me. And I could not stop laughing when Ivan attempted his sit-ups and I held his feet. I thought he was playing around at first, but he wasn’t. You will have to ask him what happened.
Needless to say, I am hoping the 10′s have some fruitful effect. If nothing else, we can giggle together and hope that someday we won’t have a beer gut and 2 babies later chub.
Here’s to the 10′s!
