2012

That moment when you just know, that you know that things will different. When things finally click and your mind now has power over your body. When your thoughts or desire will no longer take excuses, when discouragement no longer has its place? Yea that just happened, and get this when I getting off the potty.

See I went off facebook because I needed change. I retreated away from social media, cut out tv, tried reading more, writing more and waited for that hyper-spiritual revival to take place. That one that would make me a better christian, make me want to eat better, and exercise in beast mode. So I waited, prayed, waited, prayed, ran a day, ate, waited, prayed, waited, ate alot one day, waited, holidays came, waited, ate, waited, prayed waited, and well it goes on and on. Nothing happen.

Till today, when I got up looked at myself in the mirror and let a sigh * Lord, I'm tired of being tired of doing the same things. Then guess what happened? My sincere thought went from my head to my heart. With a true, pure plea I fully surrendered. It was simple, it was fast and it was perfect timing.

So what is it, that I surrendered? Faith, Food and Fitness.. I am tired of trying to run a race, knowing that life is a marathon. Running some miles great and others terrible. Slow and steady wins the race all the time. What is slow and steady? It is four things.. keeping it simple, being consistent, being obedient, and practicing discipline.

Faith needs to be consistent, it needs to be practiced daily. Reading, praying and applying application daily. Not solely seeking in the valleys but also learning and rejoicing when on the peaks. Keeping a simple eating plan and exercising discipline will ensure success. Being obedient to my body by using it daily, with exercise. Not only will this get my body in shape but it will also renew the mind.

I am excited to see what this year will hold for FF&F, I pray my heart that is overflowing with desire and encouragement will sustain when my body is stretched. I am in the process of goal setting for the year. I know that God uses the ordinary for extraordinary things. I am looking to Him for a year of extraordinary things. I am making myself available, and ready and willing to do the labor.

I want to share my goals with you all, tomorrow. I encourage you also to take time to set goals, and a vision for the new year. Not a resolution but a vision. I know that God is waiting to do great things but He is waiting for you to say " here am I Lord". Tomorrow is not promised, and what is left when you leave this earth is a legacy. What do you want to be know for?

A person that lived a ok life of meritocracy? Or someone who made a difference in lives of others? You what change? I know I do.. If you are down to come along with me, come back tomorrow and lets talk!
