Sweat it

So I have been picking up the work out since I wrote the blog on running.  The best thing about it is I have been reading the word before I hit the road or go the the gym and that is the best.  I used to work out first and then read the word and it was always cut short.  Now if something is cut short it is my work out.  I feel as though God is finally giving me a healthy view on working out and eating.  I don't want to fall into the sin of gluttony and laziness or the sin of vanity.  The greatest thing is when I am in the word and my eyes are on Him, my eyes are off of myself and it rocks.  I am able to serve the Lord with more passion, I am a better wife, better mother and better friend.  Falling into being self-focused is far too easy. Reading the word first thing puts my mind  in the right place while I sweat it.  Today I was doing an aerobics class and I started to laugh thinking of when Jess Ablott and I used to do classes together and basically laugh the whole time, it was great.   I have been sore for about two weeks and it has been so awesome.  I plan to run the trail tomorrow morning, may God help me up those hills. 

Psalm 33:20-22

  Our soul waits for the Lord;

He is our help and our shield.

For our heart rejoices in Him,

Because we trust in His Holy name.

Let Your lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us,

According as we have hoped in You.
