I read this on someone else’s blog several months ago. I have it saved on my computer and read it from time to time. She is talking about exercise. I’ve printed it to hang in front of my treadmill. I don’t remember where I got it from, if you are the author, thank you.
The truth is:
- Sometimes it's gonna hurt more than others. I need to push through it and stop repeating the process of quitting when it gets too tough.
- It's not just about exercise. It's about discipline. It's about sacrifice. It's about commitment. It's about finishing the goal that He has set before me.
- It's about allowing Him to complete a work in me that seems nearly impossible.
- He has given me a body that is capable of exercising...it is a gift.
- I am not allowed to quit on this one.
It doesn't matter if I like it all the time.
I am learning. Physically and spiritually it is about sticking to the plan, moving forward, adding more to what seems impossible...because I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13)
As I was reading it this morning, the last paragraph spoke volumes to me. I am in the middle of God’s plan, I will stick to God’s plan and move forward. As I am faithful, he will add more to what already seemed impossible. What was meant for evil, He will turn for good.

So true!
Awesome! So what plan of action are you taking as a result?
Reading posts like this makes me grit my teeth. :-|
Jake - I am walking two miles a day on the treadmill, then doing some crunches and lots of stretching. The plan is to start shaving minutes off of the time it takes me to do the 2 miles. Eventually I want to do 3 miles a day, not sure of the speed yet.
Thank you for inspiring me! I needed this today!
Love you,
