Lies I have told myself.....
I am an insulin dependent diabetic with a thyroid problem who has osteoarthritis in both knees. It's really hard for me to exercise, so why bother? I am destined to be fat my whole life! Not true! All of theses conditions are manageable and exercise should start small and work up as your fitness level increases. Okay so now that I know these are lies you would think that would help right? Wrong! Those lies turn into excuses and people are usually pretty sympathetic, especially when I throw in the fact that I was healed from cancer and a potentially deadly blood infection, and a hole in my small intestine. Don't get me wrong all of these are good excuses, but that's all they are, excuses. God didn't heal me from all these things to use them as excuses. I should be using these things as to help others, this is my testimony and I and I should be moving forward and living the life God healed me to live. No more lying to myself, no more excuses! My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and if I was the Holy Spirit I wouldn't want to live here. Do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. This is the scripture I will be standing on as I press forward. Toodles....

In ToughLove, we said "Blaming keeps you helpless". We'll never move forward as long as we keep looking backwards.
ReplyDeleteSo true!!!! Do not use ANY of your so called conditions to hinder you. I was told i was going to die over 4 years ago, I am still here alive and Kicking. Yes God can heal and DOES heal but he does NOT want us to sit on our Fat ass's waiting on healing. Sometimes He chooses to heal us through us crucifying our flesh and using our temple to bring that healing. I have learned to stay away from foods that God did not create. He did NOT create McDonald's, He did not give Cow's milk to feed humans. He gave Cow's milk to give to calf's in order for them to grow to weigh 1,000 pounds. I don't know about you, but i don't want to grow to be 1,000 pounds! Keep up the good work Beck, I am so proud of you! P.s. I have a LOT of neck and back pain, and Yoga and swimming are wonderful ways to get in shape without a lot of physical pain :)
