Stress

February 7, 2012 by JOYfilledWELLNESS Filed Under: Fitness, Journal Entry, Stress 2 Comments

It’s the number one reason why I seem to always let my health take a back sit. It’s a vicious cycle. Stress leads me to poor eating, poor fitness, and poor sleep – all of which cause me more stress. Depression is also mixed-up in the stress. I pray to stay rooted in Christ but I often fail. That is what disappoints me most.

I struggle with discerning if my lack of will is due to my flesh or actual ailments. Regardless of the cause, when I fail to eat properly and maintain a basic level of fitness, I fail to give a “Yes” to Him.

I strive to glorify God with all that I have been blessed with, including my body.  I desire to maintain optimal health (that He wills me to have) to better fulfill my vocation.

I offer my failures to Him and humbly ask for the grace to move forward.

I will put my recent failures behind me and remain on Mod 3 this week.

May the Good Lord keep me in the race.

GO ALL OUT  – ALL FOR!
I have NOT ARRIVED.
I am far from the finish line.
But I am on CHRIST’S TEAM.
His love ignites me.
…His power fuels me.
His mission compels me.
I AM COMMITTED to Christ
and to this race.
