This afternoon I took Jace to walk around with me @ the mall... Its one of those outdoor malls so we got some fresh air & got to do some shopping! Makes a great day for mommy! lol.. Anyway, I have always been a "people watcher".. You know, the kind of person who likes to just sit on a bench and watch people walk by... When I was little I use to always get in trouble for it... Today I stopped to get a drink & caught myself doing it...I just have always had a desire to know where other people are at in their lives... where do they work? Do they work? Whats their family life like? Do they have loving parents? Do they know God? Do they have a relationship with him?.... This might sound nosey but you can never judge a book by its cover... I bet we would be completely wrong majority of the time if we even tried to put a label on people... One thing that has hit me more so now than ever is when I see people who are obese and I wonder what got them there?? What are they struggling with that causes them to get to that point? Are they depressed? Missing God in their life? Stressed? My heart goes out to them...One thing I can say is that I do hear alot of people say the reason they don't workout or can't keep up a routine is because they let ONE day of messing up ruin the whole thing! Seriously? We fail DAILY... we just have to get back up again! (like Toby Mac's new song!...) If you are wanting to start a workout program, bootcamp, diet, detox, daily devotion or quiet time w/God,...whatever it might be... PRESS ON everyday... If you mess up, get back up again!!! This 28 day detox has been difficult.. and I have had my moments of weakness and moments of strength.. but each day is a new day! Thank goodness :)
I just want to share my thoughts with you on that & encourage you to not give up! This life is a journey!
"...forgetting what is behind and looking towards what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize which God is calling me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Phil 3:14
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
-Michael Jordan-
We lose our way,
We get back up again
It's never too late to get back up again,
One day you will shine again,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever,
Lose our way,
We get back up again,
So get up, get up,
You gonna shine again,
Never too late to get back up again,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever

We get back up again
It's never too late to get back up again,
One day you will shine again,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever,
Lose our way,
We get back up again,
So get up, get up,
You gonna shine again,
Never too late to get back up again,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever
