14 & 44

So this is a story about a teenage girl who wants to get in better shape and condition to play high school soccer next year, and a middle age mom who wants to be in better shape for her wedding!



We are starting with an easy cram style workout once a day (hopefully) and changing our eating habits (if we can get the males in the house to follow our lead it would make things a lot easier!)

Mom is also doing other forms of cardio and Girl is getting her cardio from soccer practice and extra running.

Can these two even work out together? Girl is already in good shape from intense soccer training (but feels she is getting lazy and wants to be able to keep up with the other players).  Mom has fallen off the workout wagon for far toooo long (but ready to jump back on!) 

Day 1 - successful (legs are already feeling it!)

Stay tuned....................



There's grace enough for this girl...
Today I'm just glad there's grace enough for a girl who lets her heart get ahead of her head.
Who hasn't cleaned the grout in her kitchen floor. Not once.
Who still prefers the fringes to the center of attention.
Who can feel entirely out of place even with people who love her.
Who grinds her teeth because she worries. And worries because she grinds her teeth.
Who doesn't pet her dog enough.
Or cook dinner every night.
Or accessorize her outfits (and her life) in quite the way she'd like.
Who's having a bad today and feeling guilty for being ungrateful.
Whose to-do list is never done,
whose expectations for herself are never met.
Yes, I'm glad there's grace enough for a girl like that...
Like me.
Like you.
Like all of us.
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
2 Corinthians 12:9

We went camping in Yucaipa - I didn't really even know where that was! But it turned out to be really pretty and we had a great time!

When I say......

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin''
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow!'

Pretty is as Pretty does... but beautiful is just plain beautiful!

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

by Maya Angelou

Sometimes I have to remember what I am saying when I say, "I am a Christian"!
