life resolution

Bobby and i agreed it was time to get healthy. Doesnt seem that long ago I was watching what i ate and exercising everyday. Then for some reason, i just stopped. Or should i say, ” just started”. Just started eating whatever i wanted too and quit exercising. Recently, i woke up to the reality that i had put all the weight back on. I dont know why it took me so long to realize it. You would think i would know it by how fast i was out growing my clothes or when i looked in the mirror everyday. Guess i was in denial. Perhaps i loved the food more than i loved myself. I dont want to be a size 6, i just want to be healthy again. I want to live a long life with the man i love. So no this isnt a new years resolution, its our life resolution. We committed our lives to the Lord years ago. Its time now for us to committ our bodies to the Lord. Our prayer is that He helps us to make healthy lifestyle choices everyday. We know with His strength all things are possible.
*weight update- as of 12/21/09 bobbys lost 7 lbs. and i’ve lost 9 lbs. yay!

My Life Verse


2009
11.23

   In the middle of a very bad time in my life the Lord gave me this verse: 

Philippians 4:7   and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I don’t claim to understand it. But that is exactly what He does. All hell can be breaking loose and we can have that wonderful peace of God. He’s our calm in the storms of  life. He has each of His children in the palm of His hands and nothing can touch us that has not been filtered through His fingers. And since I know and believe that He only wants for my best, I can trust Him to handle everything in my life (every detail). I can trust Him through bad times, trust Him with my finances, trust Him in sickness, trust Him in death. Isaiah 26:3 says   You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. 
That kind of peace under pressure is supernatural. The world can’t give it to you. No amount of money can buy it. It’s a gift of God’s grace. So who or what are you trusting in today?
