Crayon friends and starting over!

So friends guest blog week is over, and boy was I blessed with the stuff my pals came up with. I have to admit I am one blessed gal to have so many beautiful women in my life. My cup overflows with the joy that my friends bring me. Like a box of crayons, they are all different unique in their own kind, but all paint pretty colors to my heart. Thank you to all my friends who took time to write and you all that took the time to read it!

I do however have one more blog post that a friend wrote, but I am saving that for later this week. On a different note, I started to train for my first 5k of the year and we all got hit with this nasty virus! The boys and I have been sick for what will be a week tomorrow! I no longer can hear out of my right ear, and I can hear myself talk. Perhaps the Lord was showing me what my hubby has to listen to :/ poor guy!

And so day one starts over again this week. Although I have to tread lightly on my physical training as I get over this cold, my focus will be eating.. UGH! I know.. so hard huh? You know I tried to tell myself that I dont have a issue with food. I am not shoving whole pizzas, or five burgers down my throat but truth be told, I do have an issue. If I am unable to maintain a healthy life of eating and staying away from the foods that will tear apart my body, it is an issue.

As mentioned before I am reading "Run to Win" by christine caine, and she said something that touched or convicted my heart if you will.

"Christians have more reasons to stay fit than any gym junkie. Its not about how good we can make ourselves look by developing lots of muscles, it is abut being effective carriers of God giving Him the best shell possible to work with." Christine Caine (via Run to win)

I am realizing that I cannot keep with with my family, ministry and other obligations if my "shell" is not sustainable. We were busy from Friday night to literally Sunday night this weekend. Only being home to sleep and shower, today I woke up like a truck ran me over. It is foolish to pray for endurance and strength and then feed myself junk. There are many times that I find myself at this place, not sure why it is so hard to stick and I am going to find out. And soooo another journey begins..!


Will you come along? Are you tired of starting over? Do you want to truly make a lifestyle and not return back to the vomit? I know I do, I pray you do! So lets do it!

Praying for a life of transformation...
