Getting Healthy Again

For the last two years I've continued to let my health go. I've eaten worse food, exercised less, worked too many hours, got less rest than needed and it has SHOWN. Over the last couple of weeks I've been more and more convicted of this. So, several days ago something finally just snapped. Even the thought of some of the food I was eating makes me feel sick. And, I'm finding myself longing for the gym again.
So I'm doing it. I'm getting healthy again. I'm definately not mr. sexy yet or anything. And I'm sure it will take a long time to undo the unwanted pounds and lack of breathing capacity. But, I'm going there. My little boy deserves a healthier dad. My wife deserves a stronger husband. My God deserves my best. My ministry deserves to have self discipline modeled. My pants deserve to be used as a sail on some big ship. My closet deserves to have those "skinny" clothes dusted off. Uh oh, I think I'm rambling now.

God, help me to stay this course. I know that my body is the temple of Your spirit and that every thing you've entrusted me with should be taken care of and well maintained, including my body. I'm not asking for You to make it easy God. I just know that with You and through You I can accomplish anything as You strengthen me. Amen.

Later y'all
Johnny
