Celebrating Life:)

Move that mountain

Zechariah 4:6

⁶Then he answered and spake unto me, saying,

This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying,

Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

Matthew 17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith.

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed,

you can say to this mountain,

'Move from here to there' and it will move.

Nothing will be impossible for you."

I AM THE MOUNTAIN - I need to be moved! It is myself that gets in my way.

My habits, self will... "nature vs nurture stuff".

When I don't start my day R E A L L Y centering myself in HIM. Taking the moment to SAY "this is the day the LORD hath Made". Then committing my day to Him. Taking time to TALK with HIM, Walk with Him, Sing to Him, Read his Word.... Yikes!......

He is my purpose, my direction... my strength and my Joy....

When I don't start my morning out like that... then I fall - NO,NO, NO - I step off of the path (ah, I was starting to give myself an excuse saying "I fall". Saying fall is an opening to an excuse. I may fall but mostly I CHOSE to step off the path, willingly, knowingly... stupidly (Not really a word) like shoving a piece of banana bread in my mouth... or calling someone a Jerk.

Yet, I know even a fall occurs mostly because we're NOT looking the right way.

Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp to my feet

and a light for my path.

John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.

MOVE MOVE MOVE ! ! !

Not by power, not by might but by His SPIRIT .... MOVE IT!

Salute!

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”

- Psalm 139:23-24

Keeping a Journal aka blog

I've been thinking recently about this bog/journey/quest ..... whatever

I believe that the "blogging" has been the motivation factor.

I wake up in the morning and .... blog.

It "centers" me... reinforces my desire to change my lifestyle habits to those that bring "Health and Wellness". I think it, write it, hear it, speak it.... therefor receive the strength to then DO IT.

That thought propels me to think of the scriptures in the Word of God that tells me:

Deuteronomy 11

¹⁸Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

¹⁹And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

²⁰And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

²¹That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth

Feed the Spirit FIRST

Feed the Body SECOND

Feed the Mind THIRD

I think this is the correct order of how to start the day.

When I feed my spirit, I then become motivated and centered in what I need to feed my Body (food and exercise).

Then I feed my Mind, since it's received the needed nutrients it needs to learn.

Salute!

There's something about that Name

Dear Lord,

Center me ..... in You.

For as I have found......when I seek YOU, I find what I really want and need. I am truly satisfied.

AMEN

Still walking the journey....

The journey of seeking a life where my habits are centered in what brings me health and wellness.

Body, Mind and Spirit - Balance!

Yet the foundation is my love of JESUS.... because there is something about that NAME!

SPIRIT:

FEED YOUR SPIRIT ! Hunger after a relationship with Jesus

MIND:

Great book to read -

The Principle of the Path to where you want to be by Andy Stanley

BODY:

Pump up the work out -

30 minutes of breaking some "glow" and then stretches

- truly relieves those tight neck and shoulder muscles! Strength your lower back!

firm up, tighten up and FEEL great that your doing something RIGHT!

Are you looking at food as something your body NEEDS - GOOD

Are you looking at food as what brings health and wellness -GOOD

Are you looking at food like it will satisfy, bring you pleasure -STOP IT

Now go drink some water kissed with lemon and PEE!

Salute! to your health and wellness

PS

SPEAK words of life, positive statements, say what you want to believe

then you'll WALK the TALK!
