Kicking fear and Rejoicing in JOY..fly free!

Blessing to All, Todays scipture says, "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self control." 2 Timothy 1:7. I so am at that point in my life with training that I cant be fearful of the 5k race I will be running. I havent even race it yet and I fear myself away from it. So, that scripture best fits me today. I use to worry about how I would run compare to others. first of all that doesnt even matter, this is me and God at this race no matter waht happens I do my very best and he smiles with me with excitement, enduring the JOY I am having. I am erasing FEAR from the training and replacing it will JOY. Fear all is: False Evidence Appearing Real. And JOY is: To rejoice; to be glad; to delight; to exult. That explains enough for me. I will not appeal to Fear anymore, I rather be full of JOY, rejoice in all! My kids would sing this song if I would say this would rejoice, "Rejoice in the Word always, again I say rejoice, rejoice, again I say Rejoice!" even that song makes me full of JOY!! Well, I better go and be full of JOY there is lots for me to do tomorrow! God Bless!

Wings Glide Fast and Free with Patience

Hey Everyone, Todays scripture comes from Phillipians 4:16, "Do not be anxious about, but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your requests be known to God." I had a great night sleep, though I tell you I woke up feeling real sore from last night workout. Today has been a simple day today, housework and meditating time for God today. I am sore, at first I was going to be upset because I wanted to do another workout but I am so sore, so instead of being anxious and physically doing my workout, I am spiritually working out my body, mind, heart, and soul with the God, and my Lord. I am learning that if I dont stress about working out or running when the day comes when everything all lines up and its that perfect day, you will know. I cant stress myself out, tired myself and over do myself because I am anxious about this 5k coming in 5 months. It wont help. So, that is why I have not ran on my treadmill lately because I push myself than I become disappointed if I dont acheive great. I have to "Seek the Kingdom" first all requests will be granted to me. Of course it being winter I am not able to run outside, I am not properly prepare for it as well. I got a inspirational saying that fits my running, "Losing weight is like climbing a staircase. Each step might seem like nothing but they all eventually add up for you to get to the top. Don't stop climbing. Make yourself proud." WOW, that is great stuff! I feel like that all the time, its the enthusiasm for climbing that becomes challenging, though I love challenges. Today is short, just know I am doing what I need to do to prepare all parts of me for this 5k run. Talk you all soon. God Bless!

Restoration Of My Wing

Hello and greeting to everyone! I love the feel of this cool winters breeze as I wake up. Here is the morning scipture for everyone, I believe it best sums up the way I have been feeling and what I will be feeling because my Father God loves me and wants the best for me. Proverbs 16:19, (NIV) "It is better to be of a lowly with the poorman to divide the spoil with the proud." (and to continue ".. have mean thoughts of themselves and their own righteousness, and submit to the righteousness of the Son of God, and wholly trust in him for salvation;) There is the BIG WORD that I have to learn for God loves me, I must TRUST in HIM!!! After having a great and peaceful night sleep, I came to the consideration that when I would do my other workouts and running I would do them with such dedication and determination but also there was a point in those workouts and running that I wasnt at clear mind and focus, so then I wouldnt give it my all. So, at times I would start the workout with triedness and weakness, so it would be like a flight but after so much time I would land to get recharged!! Now, I dont understand that because I do know when I first started I was so exited and every part of my mind and body would work together. Now it aint so! I am here to tell you when you rededicate yourself, its like old home for example: the house and its plantation are perfect in every way but inside needs alot of repair. So, you would tear the whole house down because of the inside, it would become innovated...new idea or method, whereas invention refers more directly to the creation of the idea or method itself. So, I intell will do just that, I have already started two different ways of innovating me, 1. is take the time and give more time to medidate in the WORD of God day and night, and personally it doesnt mean only day and night, I took that as meditate God's WORD when i first wake up and before I go to bed. Now because I have more time on my hands, (temporary removing cell phone from my life), it gives me even more time to be with God. I love it tremendously!! I am even hearing HIM speak to me more, I have more time to SURRENDER IN SILENCE! My family is feeling it as well. So, by giving God, your creator more, HE will intell give you more, BLESSING!! 2. I had cut in half my workout I was previously doing to just do the workouts I need, what is important to me is if I already do tons of cardio through the day I truly dont need to increase that, I need to challenge and upgrade my level, at least do the workouts that will help me to improve on my body, like strengthening, core, abs, and mostly running because H-E-L-L-O (haha) hence I am running my first 5k in June 2012, wow, its it 5 months away. So, at this ending point, I will be innovating myself through the WORD of God. Everything will fall into place. Have a wonderful and Blessed day!

Flight of New Direction

Today has been a day of many thoughts and prayers. For I need to re-direct my thoughts and directions in life. Don't get me wrong God has control over my path in this journey, Its up to me if I listen to HIS WORDS! I will follow! I did a lot of listening today in silence. It is nice when I get to enjoy it. I heard I need to go to a new direction..so here is the thought! I go to go for a walk in the cool winters breeze today, it was literally a workout on its on because I had to walk through lots of snow, there are some people that don't believe in shoveling apparently! So, the 25 minute walk seemed more like 45 minutes, and yes I was real tired and out of breathe when I got home. For this week do Body Gospel simple core, strength and stretching exercises along with my running on the treadmill, then start a new workout routine next week, but keep some of Body Gospel routines with it, intertwine them sort of speak but don't make it to consuming and overwhelming. I hope to figure out the rest of my new routine tomorrow so I have something great to tell you. Well better go, its bed time, resting is a major issue for me, so I will start this new routine by increasing my rest!! I will leave you with my favorite bible verse in Jeremiah 29:11, " For I know the plans for you declares the Lord; Plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future!" Soar the path that God has intended for you!! Goodnight & God Bless.

Mending Wings

Good Morning everyone, This morning I will give thanks for waking up!! Thank you Jesus! Glory to God! Today is the day for the Lord!! God gave us 6 days to work and play, the 7th day we are to rest! Normally, I be going to church! I love going to church! I go to give thanks with my church family, rejoice in the Lord. My favorite part is going to the alter to pray, I seem to feel 200% lighter than previous to me going up there. Power of Prayer is so immensely pure, strong and REAL!! I do mean it, power of the tongue, the words and actions that manifest with them. It works together, like gentle feathers in a birds wing, all perfectly placed together from GOD's hands. Then the other reason I enjoy going to church is the children's ministry, right now I am in the nursery working. I love the babies, I love that I get to be the teacher of new and simple things, teaching the WORD of GOD in simple words and songs. I am honored to be there. I cant wait to work with the pre-k - kindegarten some day. So, Its hard for me to miss church. Its God's day and I am here staying in bed with a illness I have been redeemed and healed from over 2000 years ago. Its frustrating.... Plus you know I am a person who is always busy...my dear sweet sister in Christ would call it "being Martha". You see in the bible the was Mary and Martha and Mary always knew to sit when it was time in quiet...rejoice in GOD. Well, Martha loved GOD however, she was always busy and always had future plans so there was always more time for other things instead of GOD! Well I refuse to be a Martha. Though today is Gods sabbath day I will definitely take today to rest. Last night I couldn't fall asleep due to symptoms of painful throat and severe pain in my ear. My throat hurt more to swollow than anything and my ear--well, it was hurting and plugged..it was hard to hear out of that ear! My children are always my delight...I love them. They surprised me this morning with a simple breakfast in bed of: Hot tea, PBJ, Oranges, and slice cheese. It was perfect to the way I was feeling. I give all thanks to them for them taking care of me when I wasn't feeling well. I am going to let you all go, more resting for me, I need to REST!!!! Take Care & God Bless.

If We Don't Try, Why Don't We Try As A Family

Greetings to all this wonderful morning! I managed to rise to the occasion sort of speak. I got up and cooked pancakes for the kids, and yea I admit I ate some too!! I hardly ever eat pancakes so why not a treat! I did normal household cleaning this morning that would equal many workouts. I consistently picked stuff of the ground, walked and ran up and down stairs, vacuumed,folded clothes, and I even moved furniture around. I felt the muscles move alot. It was great though ;0) . I thought I wasn't getting to the point of the not feeling well again, I began to cough, watery eyes, and just plain old tired..so I began to fall asleep. I hadn't got much sleep last night again, then using all these muscles to clean must have increased to the fatique so more. So, I relax and snoozed a little while. Then again it was dinner time. When time ever just fly away...not literally haha but it just goes by so fast at times. Now, I finally give in the workout, I really wasn't feeling it, I will be honest, I was tired, but I would do this workout because I am determined and dedicated to this training, whether is a mild training...its so seems mild, I am very limited because of weather to being in full throttle of training which is to begin--once spring shows her face. I began to do it, I love this workout most of all, Its long but I love the mixed of cardio and muscle toning. Its called Strength and Spirit, what a perfect name! I got towards middle of workout and suddenly my cute 3 yr old comes in and does his best to impersonate me and my moves. I used to yell at him and kick him out but I love when he mimics the positives things I do. So, like I was saying all my four children walk into living room but I tell my 11 yr old daughter to video my 3 yr old, he is so cute copying me. So, then my 7 and 9 yr old include themselves, so now my daughter is video recording and my sons are doing this workout with me the best as they can. By all means my living room is small, and limited space, I didn't have perfect moves with the workout but I so loved it, my heart flipped with joy when they included themselves. Working out whether its for fun or just to help tone your body, I see nothing wrong with kids jumping in to do it with you every once in a while. Kids have so much energy anyways so why no burn it off with mom. So, I will leave you with this simple words. Its okay to include your kiddos with workout, they will learn from you and your will spend time with them and then all with be filled with joy and happiness in your heart. God Bless!!

The Determination to Fly No Matter

Well Hello and greeting to all! Today is a school day off for kids so since I woke up early. The day will start!! Like my older son always says,"Mom when the sun comes up in the morning that is your alarm clock mom." Go figure, out of the mouth of babes. So, as they take there time to wake up, play with toys, no rush to come downstairs. I get ready to run on the treadmill. After to getting dressed and prepared, I sit down and open my BIBLE to Psalm 19:5a which says, "And rejoice like a strong man to run its race." Well said!!!!! I rose from the chair with true inspiration in my heart and got my playlist ready. I even did some math in my head. Funny, I figured this: 8(songs) @ (average give or take) 3 minutes each to = 24 minutes to run. I can do that, I love music and music muses me in with running. So, I began to run and all I see is the race line, some people ahead of me and some people behind me, but no sweat. I am running at my own pace, indeed I am, with just listening to the songs makes time go faster. It feels great but my throat was being challenging...I was constantly clearly my throat and holding in all the coughs otherwise I would have to get off the treadmill. Wasn't going to happen!!! I just have to get to 24 minutes. So, time went by and I got so tired and my throat was so dry. I had to give myself a closer goal. I will finish this song nearest to 20 minutes. I did, I felt great but soon as I got off the treadmill I began to cough alot. Seems to be all my body could handle today. I used so much energy to run and the remainder holding in all my coughs. I felt great during the run, whether it was only on the treadmill or really in a race. I did my very best. I was determination to win my race for the day, I flew high and as far as I could. You can too! I will do my best tomorrow too!! God Bless!!!
