Jeremiah 29:11 "for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future. 12 then you will come upon me and pray to me and I will listen to you. 13 you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the Lord and bring you back from captivity. Jeremiah 30:17 "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds." Seek Him first....Seek Him like silver. When I seek God with all my heart ; reading His word daily, trusting Him in everything especially the things I can't understand and giving Him credit for the victories, my life is better. My life is better when I live in the simplicity of trusting God. TRUST. I hope these verses help you remember He is with you, loving you through this😇🙏🌸♥️. Gods got this!!!

Bible take (cast the first stone)
John 8:7 "When they kept on questioning Him, He straightened up and said to them, "If anyone of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw the first stone at her." " All of us sin and fall short of the glory of God. It's easy enough to compare ourselves to people who do sins "worse" then we do, somehow thinking we are less of a sinner or less of a wretch then someone else. Truth is; sin is sin. The price of sin is death. Then Jesus😇. He came to live and die for us to pay the penelty of death for our sins. He also rose from the grave and gives us His righteousness if we simply believe. Sin is sin, doesn't matter if you are the best sinner in Hell you're still in Hell. With Jesus our sins are forgiven and we have life eternal. John 8:10 " Jesus straightened up and asked her, " Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? 11 "No one Sir", she said
" Then neither do I condemn you, Jesus declared. " Go and leave your life of sin." I love this account of forgiveness in Jesus. 😇🙏🌸♥️. Today I hope this inspires you to let go of the darkness including thinking your less dark then someone else and walk in His light and life eternal😇🙏♥️🌸

Bible take (look up in the battle win the war)
1 Peter 5:10-11" And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered for a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11. To Him, Be the power forever and ever Amen". After we have suffered for a little while......When I used to read this I thought of a little while being my current trial. But now . I think of it, as life. It seems as though once we conquer one trial there is another one. I heard a sermon where the Pastor compared our little lives here on earth to a one inch mark on a 1000 foot rope. It reminds me, all our struggles here are just a moment compared to the glory that awaits us. Sometimes when I'm climbing a big hill on my bike I start counting to help me get through it. What's your technique to climb the hill in front of you? My goal is to get through it all , keeping my eye on the prize. JESUS. So during my trial. I can shine His light. No matter how big this battle is here on earth it's just a battle. The war is won in Jesus. Keep your eyes on the Prize .... onward....upward. 😇🙏🌸♥️

Bible take
1 Corinthians 1:31. "Therefore as it is written: " Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord." All that we have is from our Lord. 😇. I used to think...it was all me. That was a lonely difficult place. Once I began to realize all that I have is from the Lord I could live in thanksgiving for what is right and TRUST Him in what didn't seem right. I hope this verse helps you too today. 😇🌸🙏♥️. You are never alone. Jesus said, " Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." ( Matthew 28:20)

Fit Bit (All things for good is hard)
Fit Bit (All things, for good? Is hard)
Romans 8:28-30
“ And we know all things works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. 29 For those God foreknew He predestined to be conformed to the likeness of HIs Son, that He might be firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those He predestined , He also called; those He called, He also justified, those He justified He also glorified.”
Romans 8:28 used to be one of my favorites verses before we lost of Lovely Erin , hear on Earth. At that point, I was simply angry and thought, “Nothing! Nothing! Can possibly be as good as our Lovely Erin. But as these years unfold, I see recovery in Jesus. My anger has turned into deep sadness and disappointment for us here on Earth, but I still have hope because I know she is glorified, as Romans 8:30 points out.
When our Grandma Muzzy got Cancer it seemed so unfair. Our family was not expecting Grandpa to outlive Grandma. Grandpa was the alcoholic and Grandma was the Saint. God used Grandma’a cancer to truly heal our family. I estimate 80% of her family have now become born again believers. When we see her again, in Heaven, it will be as if no time has passed. (Heaven is not confined by time)
I hate that we suffer here on Earth. It helps me to remember Romans 8:29 ..” To be conformed to the likeness of His Son.”
Healthy and well is not about smiling through everyday as though nothing is wrong, healthy and well in Jesus is trusting no matter what is wrong….God’s got this!!!
Don’t tell God you’ve got a big problem, Tell your problem you’ve got a BIG GOD!!!
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly

Fit Bit (Conquer the weather)
This Summer I did a lot of paddle boarding. I really enjoyed what I call, “ paddling with a purpose.” I bought a racing board and became determined to do a race called “ Chatta Jacks” which is a 31 mile race in Chattanooga, TN scheduled for Oct. 24, 2020. Then, I was going to do The “Carolina Cup” in early November. Starting in September we got much colder temperatures and I lost my desire to train on the board. I lost my motivation because the “Chatta Jacks” went Virtual and I just didn’t “ feel it”. WOW! Last weekend the virtual race was finished and I did not enter. I feel a let down. I did train very hard this Summer, just to give in too; “not feeling it”.
I have found that many people are will ing to validate my, give up. Success in life is to keep on keeping on regardless of how we feel. (Philippians 4:13 “ I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength”). Many times our goals in life are hard. When we keep on keeping on in the direction we know God is calling us , no matter how many times we slip and fail that produces character, perseverance and humility. We all want to give up sometimes.
Today, as I look out on the freshly fallen snow, I am quite confident I will not be paddling. But I will be “Fat Biking” and walking my dog. Today, I chose to embrace the change in weather and continue my goals of staying physically, spiritually and emotionally fit. For me, I can more easily reach that goal, by making sure I read my Bible daily, pray and get out side regardless of the weather.
I hope this little Fit Bit, helps you too, conquer the weather!!
Galatians 6:9.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
