Personal Mission Statement

Principles and values that that I live by
Jesus is my Lord and Savior
Honesty
I want to be healthy
What brings me happiness?
My family
The Lord
Friends
Exercise
My Legacy and things that I have always wanted to do
Lead others to Christ
Live a healthy life style

My Mission statement:
To live each day making my health a priority so that I will live longer, feel better, and glorify the Lord. I will do this by committing my health to the Lord, Exercising, and eating healthy.

For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate to do I do....

My desire to be healthy and my desire to not care are at battle. Some how not caring or doing anything about my health and weightloss seems easier. For the last 6 months I have done what I wanted to do and not what I know I needed to do. I have not been taking my vitamins, I have not been excersizing, and I have been eating way to much of the wrong foods. I have all this information and knowledge about what I should be eating and doing, yet I choose to do what is wrong.

Paul states in Romans 7:15 "I do not understand what I do, For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate to do I do."

I can relate to this so well. This last couple of weeks the Lord has been working on me about being healthy and making some changes and getting my life together. I am so thankful that the Lord never gives up on me.

Today I am commiting my life, physically as well as menatally to the Lord. I am seeking the Lords will in my life and hopeful for my future.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you so much for your promises and your words. I am asking for your help today. Lord help me to obey you. Please help me to be healthy. I want to feel better. I ask for your help with my food choices, excersize, taking my vitamins, and time with you. Lord I love you and despiratly need you in my life.

Amen

Awakened by GOD

Have you ever been awakend by God? This is something that has happended to me before, but not like last night. At 230 in the morning I woke up. I rolled over to try and go back to sleep. I laid there awake, tired, and unable to sleep. I began to pray. The lord asked me how long it had been since I prayed for myself?" I laid there thinking.... It has been a long time. The Lord wants me to pray for others, but he also wants me to come to him for me. For every need. He loves me just the way that I am and he wants me to learn to love myself. The best place for me to start is time with him, seeking his will in my life.
