Big, Fat Failure

#1 Don't take this too seriously #2 But, seriously, I am a big, fat failure. Thankfully the Lord planned ahead. The 2012 Olympic Games reminded me of my failure as an athlete.  I always wanted to be in the Olympics but laziness and a lack of determination took over.  Of course, a lot of kids dream of being an Olympian and never make it so I don't really feel too bad.  Plus, there's always Rio 2016! :) I'm fairly smart...at least I always made good grades, but my contribution to our yearly household income probably averages in the negatives.  I'm a failed business woman.  I'm failing as we speak, but I'm okay with it.  My real full-time job just doesn't pay very well.  Speaking of that...parenting, I mean...according to Ted Tripp I'm pretty much a failure there too.  Also, okay.  My kids are still young, and I AM trying.  I've been a bad friend...selfish and lazy.  For that I am always sorry. It can be very de...

A Reminder The first thing I was reminded of today was that I really LOVE Pilates as a form of exercise.  I started doing Pilates shortly after King was born in 2004.  I bought some DVDs I saw advertised on TV by Daisy Fuentes.  (They're still here on Amazon if anyone is interested.  They're basically the same quality workouts I learned today...good, old, stuff.)  However, I haven't practiced Pilates regularly in quite a while since I've been teaching HIIT (high intensity interval training) at the YMCA and running a lot on my own.  Therefore, I was happy to reconnect with it today.  It makes me feel tall and strong, and teaches muscle control and postural alignment like nothing else.  I like to teach it too.  That leads t...

Losing Worry and Fear

Image
#1 I had the opportunity to teach a Bible study at church tonight on worry and fear. #2 I wanted to write down my notes so I could share them with others, and also so I wouldn't forget these Scriptures...I need them everyday! Losing Worry and Fear How does a person lose weight?  It almost always boils down to three things: Diet Exercise Be consistent Period. What does this have to do with worry and fear? Well, losing worry and fear from our lives follows a surprisingly similar pattern... For starters: Losing weight and losing worry and fear have one very important thing in common... They both take DISCIPLINE.  In 2 Corinthians 10:3-6  Paul is talking about the way he's been perceived by others and is sharing some of his thoughts on how he deals with issues in the church.  We can apply these thought patterns as we begin our journey to a worry-free life. vs.3, " For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging ...
