Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Isaiah 12:2
It has been a challenge for me to blog often as I have been trying to do it at night before bed. That has to change. I have been clunking out by the time night comes. Mornings are just better anyway. Morning time gives me fresh perspective and begins my day with the goal that I have set before myself.
Huhhhhhhhh is what came to my mind when I thought of what to title today's blog. I woke early this morning and have done many things by this point, and it is on 7:58am. My day is just beginning. I am working to get my house in order because I will be on the go at 10. Yeah, On my mark..get set...GO; that kinda GO! That is not a sigh of misery but one of, where do I begin. The kids school year is winding down and there are non-stop events. Couple that with life and a busy woman am I but I am loving every minute of it.
We often use business as an excuse to not take care of ourselves. We don't have time to exercise but we can watch and hour long TV show while sitting on our duffs. We can't eat right because we are on the go and just don't have the resources to do what needs to be done so instead of trying we make no efforts at all. I am here today to say, "All you have to do is start and try!" Failure comes when we don't try and/or quit trying. We have become such a sedentary people. We do what we have to do but when it comes to our needs we short change ourselves. How beneficial would it be if instead of just sitting on the couch watching TV you began to do exercises such as sit ups, jumping jacks or leg lifts or keep it simple with arm raises.
I spoke to someone yesterday who said something amazing. She said though we volunteer for things we need to begin to move in it as if our next meal depended on it (which is so true). But my thought today goes to what if I done this with weight loss. Passionately not passively. What if you did that with what you are working towards. Not because you need to, not because you have to but out of sheer willingness and determination.
I encourage you to take your GO to the next level by investing in taking care of you and by living passionately and allowing God to truly step in as he is your strength and your song. If you have not yet gotten to know God, he can be your salvation too. Seek Him for who He is and you will find what you need!
Blessings.
