Well, everyone makes resolutions the first of the year and I've heard that the biggest one of all time is exercise, eat right and loose weight. Course I've given up on making this my resolution years ago because...Well, I know I will not keep it after about 1 month-okay 1 week I'm back to my old life style. Exercise for me is really hard to fit in my life, getting three kids dressed for shcool, fed, off to work, picking them up, ballgames, practices, blah-you get the point, has little room for me and Jane Fonda! Okay excusses are easy to make.
I love the way I feel when I have worked out in the passed. I have more energy, I sleep better, less stress, all around pretty awesome feeling.
So, getting motivated and finding time to work out has been an issue with me.
I started really thinking during this small group at church about something that has inspired me to make time for exercise. Do you know that you are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16 This means that God has loaned you your body. Its not really "yours" he has given you this body to worship him. When asked where do you go to church-You may say FBC (where ever it is you go) but, the truth is YOU are your church. The Lord wants you to worship him every day every where. You are Gods Temple. Where ever you are you can worship. It doesnt have to only be done in Church. Like Lamar Boschman says (And I love this) You are the "Winnebago of Worship"
So, why wouldn't I want to make my Temple the healthiest I can? I am ashamed of my Temple sometimes and what I do to it. I want to be proud of my Temple. So, I've challenged my Mom to help me help her help myself-ha to become healthier!
Move over CAKE watch out Curves he we come! I mean the exercies place-Curves!ha
I'll keep you posted on the progress of this new way of life. Let me just say I PRAY that God helps me on this one.
