My new read!

After this post, I am one blog away from being a 100! woohooo, it took along time getting here, but nevertheless I did. I feel like I should throw a party, with cake, candles, me, my blog and my faithful friends who are my readers.

Sooo with that said, we are going to celebrate! More to come on that note. So switching channels for a second, I have to tell you about the new book I am reading (part of my goals). It is called "Run to win" by Christine Caine. I got on the treadmill last night with the anticipation of warming up and reading abit. 45 minutes later, still walking I found myself unable to put the book down. I think that book was written exactly for me, and possibly you.

If I could afford it, I would buy a copy for all my friends! One thing I read that really hit home on the importance of maintaining a healthy body was this:

"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."

I love how she calls our body the shell. I immediately thought of a turtle. Although the shell of a turtle provides excellent protection from many predators, it can also make the turtle vulnerable to health problems if it is not given good care in captivity.

We need to take care of our shell, the place where the Lord dwells. Christine goes on to say, how can we go out to do the Lords business when are bodies are failing. How would we have the stamina to go out, serve, teach, preach etc. if we are always tired and in failing health. I never saw it that way. what an eye opener!

The book isn't about running a physical marathon but more the spiritual one, but as you read they are so similar, you can apply to both. If you want to order the book it is less that 8.00! Go to Christine Caines website.

Running to win!
