I was feeling a little bit defeated this week regarding my health. I wasn't able to get to the gym more than twice and my eating "habits" that I was working on fell to the waistside after a couple of days. There were several factors to this happening though. And I think that I really need to keep that in mind. I spent a lot of time at my sisters house helping her while she had her roof replaced. We did get some exercise in as there was a lot of work for us to do too. In fact I was surprised at how sore my body was the day after we cleaned up all of the shingles. Then Richie started getting sick on Friday. The poor guy didn't move from his spot on the couch until last night. So taking care of him pretty much was my only focus. And there you have it.
Then I come over to CWO and read what Darlene had written for Live Well Wednesday this week. It was so encouraging to me. So many times I have fallen into the same trap. I start off doing great and then life throws a few things at me to get in the way. Once I've dodged it all I sit down and start thinking about how much I messed up. And before I know it I'm throwing it all out the window and giving up. Had I only believed the verse applied to my overall health.
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." ~ 2 Corinthians 10:5
And so today I am not defeated, but strong in the Lord both spiritually and physically.
Thank you Lord that this is a new day!
2 Corinthians 5:17 (King James Version)
17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
*Kristie*
