Well, I had to post again before my dear hubby harassed me again about posting more than me this month.
On a happy note I have been doing Pilates on the Reformer machine through a physical therapy place for the last couple of weeks. Here's the funny part—last Friday morning I was scheduled to go and was so excited it was like Christmas or something. You know, when you are so excited to get going that you keep waking up in the middle of the night, rolling over and looking at the clock, then with a sigh try to get back to sleep for a little while longer because it just isn't time yet. Can't believe I was that excited about this. But I was and I am.
I feel like the reformer machine is a gift from God for my back. I lay on this contraption, exercises all my muscles without breaking a sweat and feel relaxed afterward. Amazing. All in a safe manner for my back. Yippee. :) And I am definitely getting stronger. After over a year of being stalled, I am pleased as punch!
This all ties in with a word the Lord brought me this past week as I have spent some serious time asking Him for direction. He has given me very specific words on how to proceed in getting the best health possible. This all came after I read in Psalm 32:8 that He would counsel me and instruct me in the way of life.
This week He also brought me a gentle rebuke. Psalm 32:9—I should not be stubborn like the horse or mule. I had to repent because I have been very willful at times. I know that discipline in any area of life bears good fruit and yet I still resist it at times even though I know better. I have not wanted to rein (no pun intended!) in my eating back to what I need to be healthy. I have indulged giving myself whatever excuse was available at the time.
But He has graciously called me back to hearing instruction from Him. And it will bring life. It always does. And the fruit He brings will not only be good for my body, but my heart as well. Because my Father loves me and has plans only of good for me, no matter what I am going through—good or bad.
That is all for tonight.
Blessings.

oh, actually, only too well. not in my diet, b/c I have to keep that good with hypoglycemia ... but, perhaps, in maybe, a few other areas? ;)
All these years I've been trying to get you straightened out, and all I had to do was buy you a machine to pull and stretch...
I wish I'd have known it would be that easy. ;)
Looks like it may be time for dear hubby to harass you about posting again... A month and a half is too long between posts love.
;)
