I like to work out. Last week was exciting because I got to work out 5 times! The purpose of my workouts are: to build strength (lift weights) & cardio fitness (jogging). At this time, I’m doing better w weight training than cardio, but I do both pretty much every week. Some of the benefits I find from working out include:
more energy (necessary to keep up w small children)
- stress relief
- clears my thinking
- burns calories
- greater endurance
- better self-esteem
- builds strength
- keeps my heart & muscles healthy
- strengthens my bones to prevent oesteoporosis
So, in Philip 2:12, Paul tells us to work out our salvation w fear & trembling. Truthfully, when I lift weights & if I do a really good job in a workout, I experience both fear & trembling when I’m lifting weights. I’ll talk about this more in Chapel on Tues. If you can’t come, then I’ll blog on it to explain better after Chapel 😉
In Chapel, we’ll also go into one of my fav verses in the Bible – Philip 2:13: God is at work in me to will & do of His good pleasure. Chapel is going to be GREAT & I’m REALLY EXCITED!!!
