Loose that fat!

It’s funny. I went back to look at my post saying that it is time to get started with a healthier lifestyle and I noticed that I said that I wanted to “loose” some weight. I was going to correct it, because I meant “Lose”, but then I thought about it again. I need to loose some things in my life that are not of God. I need to get rid of some unhealthy behaviors and thoughts. I need to loose the fat in my diet and in my body…

I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be [ Or have been] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be [ Or have been] loosed in heaven. Matt 18:18

And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. -Luke 13:12

He is good;His love endures forever…

bible_book_heart_264808_l.jpg11 The priests then withdrew from the Holy Place. All the priests who were there had consecrated themselves, regardless of their divisions. 12 All the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps and lyres. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets. 13 The trumpeters and singers joined in unison, as with one voice, to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, they raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang:
“He is good;
his love endures forever.”
Then the temple of the LORD was filled with a cloud, 14 and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the temple of God. 2 Chr 5:11-14

I actually experienced this on Sunday. The choir was singing the 23rd Psalm and the Spirit just dropped and it was beautiful. Pastor tried to stand up and preach and she couldn’t. The glory of the Lord had filled the place. People were saved, lives were changed forever. It was something that had to be seen. We had always talked about having “Chronicals Experience” and now finally, it happened…
God is GOOD and His Mercy endures FOREVER!!

Time to get it started!!

Well, officially today I start the 6 wk body makeover… It’s time! I’ve got to do this and I am ready. It’s really about planning ahead and actually cooking. (That’s a foreign word lately for me.) I’m trying to loose at least 20 lbs. and I’d like to lose the bulk of it by Feb. 21. At least I have a goal. I know I probably won’t loose it all by then, but I want to have at least 5-10 lbs off by then. I’m tired of feeling like this and it is time to take action…

Is it time for you to loose some spiritual as well as physical weight as well? Now’s the time! Get started with me, as this is a spiritual as well as physical journey. Let me know what you are doing and how. Let’s motivate each other. We can do this thing!! Let’s pray one for another…Are you with me?

Happy New Year!!

Okay!!! It’s 2007… A year of 7, the number of completion. May all of you have a blessed 2007 and beyond!
Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.- Phil 1:6

Eternity

It’s funny… I just celebrated my 8th wedding anniversary this week. My husband is so cool. He’s my best friend and I thank God for him. We’ve been through a lot together and I know sometimes it’s not easy being married to a preacher… He didn’t ask for that when we got married. I just love him so  much. He’s a wonderful step-father. He loves my daughter to death. You’d think that he was her biological father the way he worries about her. It’s hard to find a man like him these days…

We were talking the other night and he told me that he hopes that we can be together in eternity when we get to heaven. That’s deep. That’s a lot of love. It touched my heart. (I hope he doesn’t mind me sharing this.)

Have you really thought about what it will be like in eternity? I mean, to sit at the feet of Jesus all day long? It’s an awesome thought. I hope that I will be sitting at Jesus’ feet right next to my husband. That would be so cool! Hanging out in eternity with no worries and none of these earthly cares. Hanging out with my best friends and family. Watching my grandfather play baseball in heaven, eating my grandmother’s fried pies, not worrying about cholesterol and high blood pressure. Not worrying about if my black suit for Sunday fits right..

Wow… Thank you God, for a way to come back into relationship with you. Thank you for your Son. Thank you for His blood that covers me and saved me and my family. Thank you for letting us know that we will have a great family reunion in heaven some day. Thank you for your love, grace and mercy… I love you Lord!! I can’t wait to see you face to face!!

The ultimate gift…

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)

I’ve been reading this scripture a lot lately. I’ve read it a few times during service in the past few weeks… Just meditate on this scripture today. Look at all the names that Jesus is called… the last one is Prince of Peace… Remember this as you go out and shop for your loved ones. Jesus doesn’t want for us to be all stressed out this time of year. Remember that greatest gift ever given to mankind… God’s Son, who came down from glory to be with us… to save us from ourselves… The ultimate gift, I think..It beats anything that you could ever give…For unto US a child is given…Receive the gift. He was GIVEN.

I have overcome the world!!

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (New International Version)

Remember that we have the victory. You might be going through something right now…or you might not… I don’t know your situation… I just know that Jesus has overcome the world and that when you flip to the end of the Bible… the Victory is won… Jesus has conquered the ultimate enemy…death…SO rejoice this holiday season. Know that we are waiting for our Savior to come back. Come Lord Jesus…Come!

I’m tired…

512751_yellowed_bible3.jpgDo you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31 (New International Version)
