Fit Bit ( I shall not be moved!)

Fit Bit (I Shall not be Moved!)

Do you have some good healthful habits that will you simply “not be moved “on?

When I was a young girl, I fell in love with exercise and trying to eat well.  My healthful eating habits where moveable and therefore so was my weight, but my desire to workout was non-movable which resulted in me staying in decent shape for my life so far.

Exercise alone doesn’t really keep you fit.  Life is all about balance and correct centering.  At the height of my fitness I was at the low of my wellness.  It was not until I put my relationship with Jesus as my ROCK & CORNER STONE that I actually stated to achieve true wellness.  This physical body of mine is continually failing me.  Yet, Jesus never does.   Exercise, diet, sleep, rest, recreation, hygiene and proper dental and medical care are tremendously import to keep me physically ready for what my day brings and my ability to do the fun activities I enjoy.  Yet, true wellness came when I decided to love the one who loved me first, Jesus.  He gives me constant strength and joy regardless of my physical health.

 Today, be encouraged to define the health habits you will not be moved on.  I hope you chose to put Jesus on the top of your list.

1 Timothy 4:8 “For physical training is of some value but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and that which is to come.”

Hebrews 12:27-29  “And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

 28Wherefore we receiving a kingdom, which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

 29For our God is a consuming fire.”

Be fit and be blessed,

Fit Bit ( My Yoke is Easy!)

Fit Bit (My Yoke is Easy!)

Do you ever feel like you are working against the grain?  Does it feel like everywhere you turn it’s and uphill road?  Are you looking for the peace and only finding chaos?

If this describes how you are feeling you may be walking in this world and not in His Word.

Mathew 11:30 “My Yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

When I get “stressed out”, its usually because I am trying to take control, attached to an outcome that is not happening.  I often want things to be different in my everyday life.  When I fantasize about having things different, I waste precious time in envy and despair.  This world had many advertisements about the “good life”.  The ads show that if we buy this or that product we will have health, wealth and live happily ever after.  The truth is life is just not happily ever after.  Even as a Christian I am faced with many things that are simply difficult.  Here are a couple sayings I like:

“God doesn’t give us what we can handle, He helps us handle what we have been given.”

“Don’t tell God you have a big problem tell your problem you have a big God.”

When I read and meditate on God’s word daily I am strengthened and realize no ones life, not even Jesus’s has ever been perfect.  Everyone struggles.  Yet, no matter what the struggle health, finances or relationships, when I walk in the word and trust Jesus the struggle becomes manageable.  His yoke is easy and His burden is light. 

Today, if you start to stress and are tempted to cope with an unhealthy behavior, STOP and trust our Lord will see you through.

Be fit and be blessed,

Fit Bit (Garbage in Garbage out)

Fit Bit (Garbage in Garbage out)

Recently I was at the doctor’s office with my mother.  My mom’s diet largely consists of sugar.  She is 74 and says, “I am not giving up my sugar!”.  I have been helping her with life and would like her to be healthier.   Sugar increases her inflammation, which makes her back hurt more then it needs to.  Sugar also shows up on the other end in the form of diarrhea.  Her Doc said, “Garbage in Garbage out!”.  Last summer, I also let my health habits fall off.  I started eating corn chips instead of broccoli and drinking diet Kool-Aid instead of water.  I too started noticing my digestive system mess up.

In order to keep my body working well, I try to eat 2-3 cups of fresh fruit every morning and 2-3 cups of broccoli or spinach mid day, a well balanced dinner and drink 64 ounces of water daily.  When I do this and get regular exercise and sleep my health benefits are wonderful.  Today be encouraged to eat well.  Remember “garbage in garbage out.”  That is also true in what we feed our minds and souls.

I love listening to the Prayz Network, http://prayznetwork.com

it really helps feed my mind and soul.   

Hebrews 11:25  “Choosing rather to suffer with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;”

Fit Bit (Success is in the TRY)

Fit Bit (Success is the “TRY”)

Happy New Year!!

Jan 5,2017. By this time of the New Year usually I have already broken my resolutions.  How are you doing on that?

A New Year or a new day, for me it doesn’t really matter.  I need to start fresh moment by moment.  Sometimes my vice is ice cream, sometimes it is over spending, sometimes a burdened attitude.  Everyday I have something that I really need to leave in the past and start fresh.  If I give myself a bottom line such as January 1, I am going to change and then I don’t change, I can get discouraged and give up.  What I do to be successful is continually try.  I have to walk in continual forgiveness and keep pressing forward in order to reach my goals. 

I recently celebrated 12 years of sobriety.  I haven’t drunk alcohol for 12 years and I pray that I will continue this path.  I am 54 years old.  The first time I quit drinking I was 13.  I spent 29 years trying and failing to stay sober.   I hurt many people along that path.  Jesus is the only way I’ve bee able to let go of my regretted past and live in my present moment with strength and courage to keep trying to be a better me.  I used to think if I could only quit drinking I would naturally be better.  Not true, after 29 years of horribly destructive behavior I was faced with a plethora of character defects that have not easily left me.  Yet I am not defined by what I am not, I am defined by who I am.  I am a beautiful child of God.  So are you!

This New Year, this new moment, be encouraged to leave your past in the past and press forward toward the mark with the help of Jesus.  True wellness isn’t reaching your goals; it’s your committed effort to try.

Philippians 3:13-14  “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

Be fit, be blessed and enjoy is Happy New Year!

Fit Bit (New Beginnings')

Fit Bit (New Beginnings’)

Happy New Year!! TomorrowJ

Isaiah 43:16, 18-19

“This is what the Lord says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

2 Corinthians 5:17

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

Leave the past in the past!  2017 is a great time for new beginnings’.  Why wait tell tomorrow, start today!

What ever it is that you need to do, “JUST DO IT!”

I quit drinking 12 years ago, Dec 27, 2004.  Tonight I will be the Speaker at the Sparta AA group at 7 pm at the Masonic Temple.  Following the speaking is Pot Luck.  Please come if you can and want to.  It is an open meeting.

One reason, I keep deciding to choose Jesus verses the booze is, I now can leave the past in the past better then I used to.  My mistakes used to paralyze me, so I would be “stuck”.  Through the powerful gift of Jesus, I can let go and let God do His amazing work in me.  He gives me the strength to keep trying.  My life is far from perfect and I continue to screw up, but I have learned to walk in forgiveness with determination to press forward.

Be encouraged to leave your destructive behaviors in the past and move forward with the help of Jesus.

Be fit, be blessed and Happy New Year!!
