Daily Walking with God
Thinking of Jany
“I thank my God every time I remember you.” Philippians 1:3 Since my son’s eighteenth birthday last week, my mother-in-law has been on my mind more than ever. As the family sat around the dinner table I couldn’t help but think that Jany would have the perfect story...
Stick with it!
Today my exercise instructor said, “Things will get harder but you’ll be stronger so stick with it.” While in Rome, Paul wrote, “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 Yes, the workouts...
The Need for Speed
Revelations 1:3, “Great blessings belong to the person who reads the words of this message from God and to those who hear this message and do what is written in it. There is not much time left.” Romans 13:11, “I say this because you know that we live in an important...
Building on a Solid Foundation
I love how God works! When I began my exercise routine this morning I prayed for God to speak to me and through me. Several ideas came to mind while listening to the instructor and focusing on the movements that connects the physical to the spiritual workout. Then,...
Go deep, focus, & relfect
Yea, I bet you thought I was a slacker. Not this chic. According to the exercise chart I get Saturdays and Sundays off. Well, not completely. Those days were filled with cleaning the house and scrubbing and pressure washing the garage. I had noticed that the...
I've got a cool Parent!
Yesterday a young momma I know posted a great picture of her mom holding her great trout catch, with the caption, “My mom is cooler than yours.” It was a great picture and a precious caption. Today I came across that picture again and thought, “I wonder if my kids...
Feeling the burn, and lovin' it!
Hebrews 12:11, “We don’t enjoy discipline when we get it. It is painful. But later, after we have learned our lesson from it, we will enjoy the peace that comes from doing what is right.” Today was “Ab Intervals” day for my workout routine. While exercising I could...
A growing family.
I will never forget the words that Dr. Yonfa said to me while Tim and I were waiting on our first born child. He came into the hospital room and said, “We need to take the baby. He’s losing oxygen.” Without hesitation I replied, “Do whatever you have to do to save...
Commit, Challenge, and Succeed.
Day 3: This first thing I had to say to myself this morning was, “I can do all things through Christ Who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13. The routine of getting up early again wanted to get the best of me. But I thought about the commitment to myself and to...
Get Fit: Day 2
Yesterday I began my exercise routine, again. This morning during my Day 2 workout, I decided that I’d do a quick journal entry each day about my success and/or struggle. I need the accountability, and maybe you do too. Maybe you are already exercising and need a...
Get fit.
I love dimples! My husband has great dimples on his cheeks and chin, and my children acquired them to a lesser degree. Too cute! But…I do not love dimples that I see on areas of my body exposed while wearing a swimsuit. Nope. Negative. No thanks! Yesterday, on my...
Be broken. Become new.
This morning in church my pastor (Dr. Brain Stowe, Brother Brian) brought a commanding message. One of our beloved members posted this on her Facebook wall: “I'm assuming that every person in our worship service is a born again believer. Why? If not, I can't see how...
