Day 5

I didn't get to post yesterday.  It was a crazy day.  I am working on my 4th week of being sick.  I know I should have gone to the doctor by now, but with no insurance I can't afford it.  And working with children is only making it worse, especially when parents continue to bring their sick kids in day after day! :-/  Last night I took the dogs to UT Tyler's frisbee golf course and Monica played with some friends... afterwards I had a man voice.... oh joy.  I woke up this morning and could barely talk.  Luckily this week is the week I took off for vacation... in hopes of hanging out at day camp... but that's not happening, at least for today.  So, I'm at home today taking my Severe Cold & Sinus meds, My Halls Defense Vitamine C cough drops, Orange Juice, and sleeping.


Although, I am BEYOND EXCITED NOT to have to go to work this week!!!  Y'all couldn't even imagine!! :D

DAY 5 -THE RIGHT KIND OF EXERCISE FOR YOU

He gives strength to the weary and strengthens the powerless. -Isaiah 40:29

FOCUS FOR TODAYYour exercise regimen should be sensible, enjoyable, safe, and consistent.

If you want to attain and maintain a healthy lifestyle, it's imporant to engage in a consistent exercise program

No one can force you to excercise... you'll need to make that decision on your own.  And if you genuinely desire to please God, it's a decision that you will make today.

"The key to healthy eating is moderation and managing what you eat every day." -John Maxwell

"And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you,
for My strength is made perfect in weakness."
-2 Corinthians 12:9

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up on wings like eagles,
they shall run  and not be weary
they shall walk and not faint.
-Isaiah 40:31

A STRONG body makes the mind STRONG. -Thomas Jefferson

Fitness is a state of body and a state of mind:
If your mind leads, your body will follow.
-Marie T. Freeman

Whenever I read the words of Isaiah that say those who "wait on the Lord" shall "run and not be weary" and "walk and not faint," I am reminded of how naturally spiritual development and endurance exercise go together.
-Dr. Kenneth Cooper

People who exercise frequently,
even its weeding in the garden or walking around the block,
enjoy better over all health --physcially and emotionally.
-Dr. Walt Larimore

Health is not valued until sickness comes. -Thomas Fuller

Regular exercise allows you to build your muscles while you're cleaning your head and lifting your spirits.  <--This is what's wrong with me... since I haven't been working out consistently I have been down in the dumps, stressed out more easily, and sick more often.

HOW TO REMAKE YOUR ENVIRONMENT

If you're trying to remodel yourself, you'll need to remodel your environment, too.  In order to decrease temptations and increase the probaility of success, youl should take a long, hard look at your home, your office, and the places you frequently visit.  Then, you must do whatever you can to move yourself as far as possible from the temptations that you intend to defeat.

^If it were only as easy as it to actually do!

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. -Luke 12:34

VERSES ABOUT YOUR PRIORITIES

And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment, sothat you can determine what really matters and can be pur and blameless in the day of Christ. -Philippians 1:9

God instructions:
He rewards wise behaviors and He punishes misbehavior.
A commitment to a sensible program is one way of being wise,and it's also one way of pleasing God every day.
