A Life Uncommon: Fitness Friday

Fitness Friday

Join us over here

So this is a new beginning.

A new set of injections in my knees that will buy me another year or so to make a difference.

Oh this is so for me.
My body looks like a strangers.

I have so little discipline when it comes to the bones.

I have yet to own my body sometimes I think that is the issue.

I do so want to let go of this mass that surrounds me and pads me from the world.

I want out.

It is like a butterfly in a cocoon there has to come a day when I emerge.

I was able to walk around the block this morning.

Debbie Petras said...: I loved reading your comment on Heart Choices today Donetta. It absolutely helps to keep walking when you can talk to someone while you're walking. And Papa God makes the best walking partner. I love to walk and pray. I'm so glad you're joining in Fitness Friday friend.

Hugs to you,

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
