Music is a blessing...
So, I brought my clothes for the gym to workout last night...I guess it was an accomplishment to get my clothes in a bag and the bag in the car. I didn't work out...I decided to go home and watch "Joyful Noise" instead. The music in that movie heals my heavy heart.
My thoughts drifted off to when I was in school getting my Exercise Science/Kinesiology degree. I remember having such energy and enthusiasm for sports and fitness. I would spend 2-3 hours in the gym easily. It was such a delight to come home after a satisfying day at the gym or school. I definitely didn't watch as much television as I do now...grrr!
Music moves me...
I have been focused on getting our worship team together and get music that is relevant to messages that Jay is preaching. I am so blessed to have a great job at the church that I enjoy so much! I have been singing since I was a child. I would spend countless hours in our kitchen singing and dancing to the Top 100 countdown songs...LOL. I truly believe in the art of dance. It is fun and enjoyable. Maybe that is a good outlet to relieve some stress...it is another way to get healthy without the chore of going to the gym!
Jay and I had a conversation about the future of Cross Training Church...it is so exciting to dream...but, it is stressful for me as we plan and Jay has the expectation that I will be able to train people again soon...I don't want to disappoint him...what if my desire to move and jump around again never comes back...I am worried about this. God knows this and I know that He shall make it known to me what my future is to hold.
Well, my plan for this evening is to walk a bit and hit the punching bag for an hour...Jay will be working on the treadmill to ensure that it is in working condition for me when it is too cold to go out...I will speak of my successes tomorrow...until then, I hope you are finding your own way of getting motivated!
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:13-14
You might not be training with me, at this moment! But know that you are motivating me!
