INSPIRASUNS

I’m five days into getting myself healthy again. I mentioned in one of my earlier blogs this week that I had really let myself go over the past year in particular. I think Father had a hand in saying, “Ya, this is enough, you know better”. And…I did know better.

When I got up this morning, even though I got to bed later than I like to, I noticed that I wasn’t dragging and sluggish. I noticed my head was clearer, and I wasn’t out of sorts.

When I rode my bike this morning, I noticed that I was looking forward to that bike ride. It wasn’t something that I had to get done; I wanted to ride. I noticed that I pushed myself hard the last 1/2 mile or so, to keep pedaling and not rest. And…I noticed that I did the ride quicker than I had earlier in the week.

Most importantly, I noticed that my conversation with Father this morning, it was way more intentional. I was truly engaged in the conversation and not just saying what I usually say, petition what I usually do, no, I was having a conversation. It felt different. I felt more connected to the Lord than I have in some time. And…I openly let satan know that I was done allowing him to encourage me to let me do my own thing with this earthly home for my soul.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to make you suffer through a daily update on my fitness journey here in this little blog. Today, I just wanted to share that focusing on healing my physical body has opened my eyes to several things. First, this week has shown me how much better I feel if I make the right food and exercise choices. More importantly, though, it’s shown me that when I wasn’t doing that, the shape of my physical body was affecting my relationship with our Lord. Ya, that gave me a little more motivation to stick with it.

Friends, if you’re struggling with challenges in your life, take time to ask the Lord to help you. That’s what I did five days ago, and today, I’m feeling so glad I did. Yes, I still have a long way to go; however, I know that Jesus is walking next to me on this journey, and He will walk with you too. Let Him in, and let Him do His thing 🙂 .

Have a good day, friends. Just a quick note, I’m traveling the next few days. The senior golf group I work with is having its spring event next week. So, I’m going to take a break from the little blog for the weekend as we make our way there. I’ll be back on Monday, and I promise, no fitness update!

Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
