100 on Purpose

Today, Tuesday, September 20, 2011 marks yet another beginning for me...

and my family! (little do they know – hehehe)

It's the start of a 100 day countdown to a better life – for all of us!

For All My Earthly Best it's moving forward in becoming GREENER and more completely self-sufficient. This project is ongoing with no foreseeable end as it is my opinion that one can ALWAYS improve upon any given circumstance or situation. But – for 100 days I plan to increase focus on a few matters that will directly impact our environment for the better!

For SPARKnEarthlyBest it's continuing my quest to lose 100 pounds. Yeah, a year has come and gone and I didn't meet that goal. :( I am however 50 pounds lighter – so there is clear and definite progress! Ultimately I will be eating 100% whole foods and absolutely nothing commercially processed or produced. This journey will not really ever end either as all of us, until we can gain perfection, will always have some aspect of our health to improve upon. Given all that – let's just see where we are at in 100 days!

For Andee365 it will become a test to see how much can be accomplished in 100 days! We are all working at ways to gain self-sufficiency; to reach that point where there is no need to depend upon others for that which we need. We need to find another house – perhaps to buy – maybe even out in the country where we are more free to adjust our lives to living more on our own and less dependent upon what others provide. No, we won't move anytime soon – unless we are given a miracle or two. ;-) But we will build up our resources, cut down our wastes, fine tune our wants, and – in 100 days – find ourselves in a better place in many ways. :)

There is a Bible verse that states:

“Whatever you are doing, work at it whole-souled, as to Jehovah, and not to men.” Colossians 3:23 NWT

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not human masters.” Colossians 3:23 NIV

“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.” Colossians 3:23 NLT

However it is stated, the idea is the same: whatever it is you are doing (so not just things you do that are specifically religious in nature), do that work in the best way and mood possible (give it everything you've got and give it joyfully), just as if you were being asked by God, himself (by the most supreme being in the universe) to get that task done.

As a Bible Student I take this very seriously. I realize that in this regard too, there is always room for improvement. So this next 100 days as I work towards a better life by making specific, focused efforts in several areas of life, simultaneously I will do so “whole-heartedly” and “gladly” and with my best possible efforts regardless of the obstacles and challenges that are put in front of me!

One of the key factors that will allow me to accomplish these goals begins here: www.andee.ecomomteam.com and if you wish to know more on that just fill in the “Request Info” form and submit it to me. :)

The next 100 days I am DOING WITH A PURPOSE!
