I will say that this quarter has been my greatest time of growth/change than any of the previous quarters. I reached my goal weightwise and have been able to maintain it - and I have never been one to weigh myself but it helps that is for sure! Mentally I am challenging myself daily with reading and listening to teachings. Physically, I have stepped up the pace for workouts and have had my setbacks which have helped me evaluate how I can better care for my body (with the help of network wellness). I am now taking a nutrition/organic cooking class which has been EYE OPENING. I am in the process of setting some goals in relation to music and worship.
ReplyDeleteI have released a huge burden to the Lord and continue to do so daily with regards to my family. I kneel at my bed each morning and put on the Armor of God which has helped tremendously in regards to the enemy attacks. I also speak forth the verse He gave me from week one. And, from now on.... I am working this daily as well. This has all been a day by day process and I am almost hesitant to write about it just due to the pressure I will have now to keep it all going (accountability!). A LOT has happened to me these 12 weeks, lots of growth and change, some very painful things, but necessary and well worth the pain. One day at a time... I give all the glory to God. Becky, He is using you in a mighty way!
Oh. I also want to add that I took charge of my health by doing the following: I had my teeth cleaned, my annual physical, my annual ob/gyn physical, mammogram, blood studies, ekg, chest x-ray etc., dermatology annual exam, eye complete exam; chiropractic evaluation - all in this past quarter. I am now on bioidentical hormone therapy which seems to be helping as well. Take charge!
ReplyDeleteWhat an encouraging post hugbear.
ReplyDeleteLooking back, I hope that didn't sound like I was boasting...please all I want is for us all to realize how important it is to take care of ourselves so that we can live for Jesus!
ReplyDeleteHugbear, not boasting at all!
ReplyDeleteGood for you.
I have a whole list of stuff like that I need to do, but my husband has been spending a lot on doctors lately, so when he is done I'm going to have to get busy with appointments.
See you all (hopefully) in the new quarter.
Although I don't post much, "Little Changes, Big Results" has truly made a difference in my life. I am getting ready to run my first half-marathon in 2 weeks - something I never would have considered if I hadn't started the little change of walking for 30 minutes each day. There is a quote from Becky's book, "Sacred Obsession" that lives on my fridge and bathroom mirror. It says, "Relinquich...the unholy things that rule your life and resolve never to look back longinly on your unholy passions..." That statement alone has changed my life in a big way. My focus is on the Lord, and my family. No longer on chasing after a good time and seeking validation through my friends. In August and September, I watched God miraculously provide for my daughter and me financially. I had NOTHING left, and when I finally quit procrastinating on filing my tax return, it turned out to be exactly enough. I just kept praising God all summer long, because I knew that had been a gift from Him. Another thing that changed in my life was the result of Becky encouraging us to share our story "without blame." As I reflected on my journey with God, I found it so hard to forgive the people along the way who hurt me - and felt the need to add their actions into my story. As I let go of that blame, it was much easier to forgive. I just took it out of my inner dialogue and it has helped me to live in a more positive place. On Thursday, I am going to a spiritual growth group. I have been "meaning" to rekindle my Christian relationships that I let slip by the wayside, and I'm finally following through on that by going back to the church where I made so many dear Christian friends. I am so grateful for this group and for Becky's encouragement and insight.
ReplyDeleteOk - I meant to say "relinquish" in the quote from Becky's book. "Never look back longingly on our unholy passions." I LOVE that statement. It blesses me every day.
ReplyDeleteSharon, thanks for sharing! Reflecting on what you wrote......
