21 days of discipline

My newlywed best friend sent this email this morning:

"Hello, all. After a conversation with Gabi before the wedding and a conversation with my amazing husband after the wedding, I've decided to take on a new challenge. Now, I recognize that using the word challenge implies that I'm about to something major and the reality is that I am. I'm making a decision to be faithful in the smallest of things for the next 21 days. So here's what that means to me.... Many of us have discipline problems and we do our best to move beyond them. As a result, we each plan to get serious about our discipline problems and make a list of things to work on and fiercely go about accomplishing the list. The only problem is that we usually give up or amend the list a quarter of the way through. So inspired by Gabi and Jose, I've decided to begin what I'm calling 21 days of discipline. You should know that I'm not starting off with something big like working out three days a week, but instead with washing my face (cleansing, toning, and moisturizing) twice a day. Hopefully, in 21 days this will become a habit and I can move on to something new. My goal is to be faithful in the little things and then move on to the big things. I know that accomplishing this task will be tough, but I also know that the victory we'll experience on the other side will be more than worth it. Will You Join Me????"

I think this is a great idea and will take her up on this 21-day challenge. Think about it and see if you're willing to do something different. I expect only great things to come from demonstrating faithfulness! Will you join in the fun?
