Da Wagon

I’ve been going at a crazy pace for the last eight weeks or so…Well, I’m always going at a crazy pace, but the last few months have been even crazier. The lead-up to the conference is always busy, and some things have to move down on the to-do list. Unfortunately, this year, I let my time at the gym fall to the lower end of the list ๐Ÿ˜ฆ . It’s been part of my daily routine for years, and this year it slipped.

Well, today is the day I get back in the gym and back to daily exercise. It’s not easy, and I know that over the next week, there will be days when muscles I haven’t used in a month will talk to me. However, I also know that once I work through that unpleasantness I will feel better. Our bodies really weren’t meant to just sit around and “be”, they kind of like it when we move them. I also know that when my body feels taken care of when I feel better, my mind is clearer and I’m more focused.

No, I’m not here to promote some health system or gym this morning, I’m just sharing that like so many others, I’ve fallen off the fitness wagon. The good news is, getting back on the wagon doesn’t take much, it really does come down to making it a priority in my day. So back up into the number 3 spot on the daily to-do list, (it follows only my talk with Father and this little blog).

We’re God’s kids and you know He made us in His image. He wants us to feel good, to be healthy, and to understand that He lives in us. I want the body, yes the temple where He resides to be healthy and strong. He wants that too.

So hey, if you’re like me and took a tumble off the fitness wagon, let’s jump back on together. Even if it’s just a commitment to take a walk each day, get up and do something. I want to recommit myself to taking a walk in the afternoon as well. We all work so hard, and find ourselves in front of computers most of the day, bleh, get up and enjoy the outside, if even for just 15 minutes. Go enjoy the fall colors, the sunshine, and the fresh air. And…I know I plan to ask Father to help me along this journey… I’m going to need it ๐Ÿ™‚ .

Have a great day my friends, I’m off to jump on the wagon ๐Ÿ™‚ .

1 Corinthians 3:16
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
