If you feel lumpy

and bumpy and sad

I can relate

I know that it’s bad

I have the solution

I know what to do

wait and you’ll see

the answer is true!

 

Commit to a choice

one that is new

positive changes

a habit that grew

 

Get down on your knees

humbly pray

Get up and get moving

10 minutes a day!

 

Dear Lord, how we need you

when we’re feeling bad

we need motivation

to help us feel glad

Encouragement comes

from one simple click

a switch in your head

that turns off the sick.

 

Start making changes

to do something good

to work really hard

like God says we should.

 

The Temple He gave us

Requires the drive

don’t let it sit

you need to revive

The energy needed

to live simply blessed

and see where it takes you

I bet, better dressed

 

Suited with armor

A soldier protected

because we decided

no longer dejected

 

This works way better

sweet motivation!

Sharing great choices

Sweeping the nation!

Keep America Great! – Let’s continue to let GODLY voices change this nation and let HIS love sweep the world.  Tiny whispers of His love.  Don’t let Satan win!  Not in my  Country, not in my neighborhood, not in my family and not in my life!!!  I love God, I serve HIM!

I am not a prisoner!

Are you?

I am so motivated towards my Temple Goal, I can’t even handle it.  I have been doing my daily 10 minute exercises and I LOVE that I am taking steps in the right direction.  I am so excited about this.  I am so excited about the results I am seeing, feeling and sharing.

What motivated me to start the Temple Goal?  I gained about 10 pounds and on a 5’3″ frame, 10 pounds is a lot.  It made me feel sluggish, gross, and not motivated at all.

I really didn’t like the way my clothes fit and I felt like I was a stranger in my skin.  I don’t know if you guys can relate, but it really put me in a state of depression.

The food I was eating, my lack of exercise and distance from God all contributed to this.  I was not happy, mentally, physically or spiritually.  It started from not exercising.  That was the trickle down effect.  If I didn’t exercise, I started eating bad, and when I started eating bad, I started not caring…about anything.

It made me grumpy too.  No exercise means no endorphins. I need those guys.  They nurture my Holy Spirit too and my connection with my Savior.  “I’m not enough, unless you come, will you meet me here again?”

– about me – I listen to Hillsong United when I write my blogs. If their music doesn’t ignite the fire of God in you???  I don’t know what to say about that.  I LOVE THEIR MUSIC.

Back to the TEMPLE GOAL.  I made a decision.  I prayed about it, and God inspired me to create the Temple Goal.  Motivation that comes from a BIBLICAL source is so powerful.  If we don’t obey the words of God, we may end up succumbing to sloth, and the result is sad.

I figured that if I was going through this, maybe others were too.  Excuses are so easy to create and mandate our lives.  We live in a society of maybes, laters, tomorrows, and never-evers.

Yet, I believe, ANY habit can be broken if we attack it with a Christian heart full of love.  I observed my habits and I wanted a change.  I started with just 10 minutes a day until I started craving the 10 minutes.  Then, exciting, the 10 minutes wanted more!!!  So, I started watching 2 videos = 20 minutes!  The best thing is that the 20 minutes passed by just as quickly as the 10 because my body required more.  My day was more full than all the excuses were telling me – “I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THAT” -> pardon?

I don’t have time to take care of me, MY TEMPLE, so that I can live longer, be happier and be here to raise my children?  I don’t have time to OBEY the commands of our loving and honest GOD?  He gives us an instruction manual to our lives.  If we disregard this manual and try to work the machine on our own, we will end up grinding all the gears and destroy the engine.  Right?!

I made a choice.  That small choice is growing into something so beautiful.  Let’s unite as Christians to love the commands He gives us.  I lovingly encourage you to take the first step, get off the couch, chair, bed and pray.  Pray for motivation to start your own Temple GOAL.  Start today.  Just 10 minutes everyday for a week.  See where it takes you?

I pray for kindness today.  Dear God, hear my heart.  Melt the stupid walls I have around my heart and let me be kind.  Be kind in my body language, in my spirit, in my attitude and my words.  Let me be kinder everyday.  Let the hurt go away and replace it with your spirit.  Please bless me with motivation to be better everyday.  I love you with my whole heart.  Thank you for my family and for teaching me to be a better girl everyday.  In Jesus’ Name AMEN!

I LOVE YOU TOO.  God is good all the time!  Praise his HOLY NAME!
