INSPIRASUNS

There is an old saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting to get a different result. Ya, I think it’s pretty spot on. I thought about this as I was riding my bike this morning.

Where the heck am I going with this little blog today, you are probably thinking… This morning, friends, I come here to give myself a pep talk of sorts, I guess.

I’ve struggled with fitness and weight all my life. Like many people, I have ridden a roller coaster of ups and downs. Six years ago, I was in the best shape of my life. I was at my ideal weight, worked out five days a week (three of those days, I spent with my Chix Peeps), and ate healthily.

Over time, I’ve fallen away from what got me to that healthy point. Over the last year, especially, I’ve not taken care of myself. I’ve let stress and other factors guide me to not take care of the Temple the Lord gave to me, and I feel it.

I come to this little blog every day and talk about the need to have Christ front and center in all that we do. Well, that includes taking care of our physical bodies. The home where our soul resides while in this world, well, it’s the only one we have. If we do not respect it and take care of it, how can we expect it to withstand all the things that satan is going to throw at us?

Yesterday I made the decision to once again, and once and for all, take care of myself. I don’t like what I’ve become, and to be honest, I feel bad that I’m not taking care of the gift that Father has given to me. I know it’s going to take some time, and I know that satan will try to convince me that I can continue on my current path. However, I put my trust in the Lord to guide me along this road.

So friends, I choose to stop the insanity and take care of the gift of this Temple the Lord provided to me. And…I’ll gladly welcome prayers as I walk this journey. Thank goodness I don’t have to do it alone.

Thanks for listening today, friends, well, thanks for reading, I should say 🙂 . Have a great day!

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
