Morning Workout

October 19, 2021 2:50 am

It’s wee hours of the morning and I’ve already been up over an hour. I can’t sleep, I’ve read my word, prayed, and I’m currently listening to worship music.

Have not listened to this song in some time. Perhaps someone needs to hear it so I wanted to share.

I’m sitting here with an urge to get my workout in early. I mean I’m already awake so let’s get it done.

Sit-ups for starters because I’m ready to include this into my workout.

Planks for starters I’m only going to do a few secs each interval.

Mountain Climbing definitely going to take some work. The good thing is that practice makes perfect 👍.

Finally Leg Lower I’m thinking after this I may be able to sleep a bit longer after I shower (let’s see).

If no one has told you God loves you and so do I.

Shopping List

October 18, 2021

Things are taking shape in my life and I must admit that I am proud of myself. It has taken me so many years of living in bondage to get this far. The bondage of what people thought, the bondage of what people said, the bondage of what I looked like, the bondage of overeating, the bondage of living in slothfulness (sin).

For so many years I wanted to overcome all of this I really did, but I just could not overcome it. Now that things are changing I am learning to focus on the more important things. I am working out and the biggest step for me was jogging somewhere outside of my driveway, and where people could see. I thank God for helping me to get this far and for never giving up on me.

Now I am ready to focus on a bigger issue, because one of the crucial parts of this journey being successful is the recipes I prepare. Lately I have been focusing on what I cook and how I cook it, but now I want to really narrow down on this.

I have taken time to research foods that are good for diabetics and I am excited to really do this. Today I have taken the time to create a color coded shopping list, and to top it off I researched my stores because I have to keep it on a budget.

I am not only doing this for myself, but for my son and my mom as well. I have to be the example that my son needs to see. Check out my shopping list keeping in mind that I tried to focus on a budget friendly list.

Forgive

October 17, 2021. 9:23 am

This morning I had an amazing prayer session of thanks. I realize something which has been standing out a lot lately.

We know that in life people will do you wrong. It doesn’t matter what they have done, but we must be honest that sometimes we secretly hold onto the wrong doing.

Just this morning as I was cleaning I was being reminded of how someone had gone to someone and spoke against me.

More than nine years have passed and now this incident has come back as a word. It’s only now that God has opened my eyes as to why it truly was done.

Yes I’ve entered a season where I’ve learned to let go of people and things that need be. Now after this I learn a true lesson in forgiving and letting go.

Just because we let go does not mean that we hold on to hatred nor regret. We learn to sincerely let go.

You know I received a comment which were true words of wisdom. I was told that someone once told them it’s none of our business what others think about us. That was wisdom and heart speak something I will never forget so thank you for that comment.

Spite, jealousy, envy, hatred and so much more lingers. This much we must understand. What is most important right now is that we humbly forgive.

Although I was reminded of the words that were spoken against me. In that moment I realized that I was ready to receive the message God had for me concerning the matter. Please understand that the person who has done you wrong probably never thinks about what they have done. Even more they might not ever apologize.

In my moment of being transparent I must say. It has taken over nine years for this day to come.

Let us learn to forgive and to forgive humbly.

If no one has told you God loves you and so do I.

Overdue But Right On Time

October 13, 2021. 3:08 pm

I’ve waited for so long for this feeling right here. For so many years I wanted to, I tried, and each time I would fall.

It’s not easy I know exactly what the struggle feels like. Each day I wake up knowing I have to make a choice to do the right thing.

For my self, for my son, for the many others in the world. Those who suffer in darkness from this disease, addiction, sin, and bondage of obesity.

I took the evil and spiteful words spoken at me, over me , about me, and behind my back. I allowed those words to get the best of me tossing me further into darkness.

God is renewing my strength daily, and those same words and chants that were spoken against me. I now use them as motivation to push myself forward. The very words that were meant to destroy me. Those words have become a reminder of how GREAT and MIGHTY our GOD is.

God reminds me the power of our mind, thoughts, words, actions, and the power of Gods word.

LET’S GO…………………

If No One Has Told You God Loves You And So Do I……………..

No one said it would be easy.

October 13, 2021. 12:53 pm

No one told me it was going to be easy. Yes there are days I’m tired, or being honest lazy.

I’m learning that on those days I really must push myself. I don’t care who’s watching, I no longer care what they say about me.

I’m getting out and I’m pushing hard. Breaking both chains and boundaries Gods Got Me.

If no one has told you God loves you, and so do I……….

Stay Blessed………….

Never give up…….,,,,,,

Peel Off The Layers

September 30, 2021 1:03 pm

Often times in life we learn lessons, and sometimes the hard way. Unfortunate as it is sometimes we look at it the wrong way.

God guides us as long we are willing to follow his very footsteps. I’ve touched on this before as it’s a crucial part of my journey.

In this season a lesson is being learned. Let go of that and those which no longer serve you.

What ever or whom ever it is it’s a choice that we must make. If the roots or the branches are dead why hold on to it.

I used to worry about what people thought of me. That’s a perspective which has been changed.

We all go through things in life I know I have. In fact the things that I’ve gone through has taught me and continues to teach me daily.

This becomes a process of peeling away layers. It’s a process that takes time. A part of those layers means releasing both things and people.

This is my journey and every part of it is vital. Every layer released and every layer which God is currently sculpting.

Peeling Off The Layers…………..

We’ve Got This……………

Stay Blessed……………

If No One Has Told You God Loves You And So I.

Unboxing

October 10, 2021 5:17 pm

It’s Sunday and we’re in after church. My son has been asking for a bento box, so I recently found one for a very good price.

After he received the bento box he asked me if he could use it for lunch. I couldn’t tell him no, and in fact I was excited for him to use it.

My mom and I spoke and came to the conclusion of making sushi,California rolls etc.

I went online and found a very cool Sushi making kit for $22. Now that we’ve received it I’m overjoyed.

This journey is taking on so much life of its own. I’m happy that my son is excepting it as long as I make him things that are healthier versions of things he likes. He’s also beginning to try new things.

Keep your head up we can do this……..

If no one has told you God loves you, and so do I.
