Day of rest

Today is a day that God graciously gave us to rest. I love Sundays. We were going to go the zoo but since the weather doesn't look to good we are going tomorrow. We had a nice breakfast and then will leave for Church in an hour. I'm hoping to try and make a homemade deep dish pizza this evening.

No walking today. It's good that today is a day of rest because my body is aching from two days of hill walking.

"Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that He may have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are highter than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55: 6-9

Day Two

What an absolutely beautiful day. I went for a 30 minute walk. I had my ipod on and so enjoyed it. I didn't have to take my sidekick with me so there was no weighlifting involved! Great day.

This is the day the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Day One

I put them on and I went for a 45 minute walk. I pushed Michael in the jogging stroller, which is an extra 55 pounds I'm pushing up the hills.

We walked alongside the lake for awhile. I have so much to be thankful for. I'm healthy and I can just go out the door and walk in a beautiful place.

We went off the road for awhile through the park and found this path. It lead to a big hill (for sledding in the winter!) We also went to the park and helping Michael climb the ladders and go down the slides is like weightlifting.

You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11

Exercise

Why is exercising so hard for me? Once I get outside and start walking I feel great! It's just the getting out there that is so hard. But I know with all my heart it is something I need to do. It is good for me, it clears my mind, I see the beauty of God's creation, it gives me time to think and pray.

I am going to use this blog to record my exercising attempts. Each day I hope to write what I did and how I felt and what I thought about.

I start today!

Matt's Graduation

So, one day your husband of one year comes home and is excited about something he listened to on the radio. "We are going to homeschool our children"!

Me - "What children"? "Is that legal"? "I am not a teacher"!

But thus began our journey. I'm not saying it was easy, at times it was downright hard. But I was blessed with a son who was diligent in schoolwork and had dreams that he pursued. This May he graduated with a degree in accounting. Matt I am so proud of all your hardwork and I love you so much.





I cannot even express the joy I felt inside watching him walk in. (He's the one who's looking towards the audience)

SOMEDAY????

Treadmill Time

Michael physical therapist wants him walking on the treadmill each day. I figured out a way to motivate him. TV with headphones on!

It kept his head straight and his body lined up.

He walked for 12 minutes!

Our Heavenly Father

Said the Robin to the Sparrow,
"I should really like to know
Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and worry so.

Said the Sparrow to the Robin,
"Friend, I think that it must be
That they have no heavenly Father
Such as cares for you and me.



"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are yo not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life"? Matthew 6:25-27
