I'm working hard on getting my (sixty year old body!) to respond to good mangement.

I have made so many mistakes (most of my life) in this area. It's amazing that my body is even responding to this late-in-life stimuli called exercise--but it is. God has given us an incredible "machine" called a body. You work out--it builds muscle. You work out--it creates more capillaries. You work out--body, soul and spirit are nourished.

I embrace each day as an opportunity to end the race well.

A busy morning awaits me at work (which will be full of deadlines).

I try to live a balanced life in spite of all the extra activity that seems to be screaming for my attention. I know I am to live in peace, and I know the Source of that peace. That helps to slow my anxiety down. I am carrying a lot on my plate right now, but some of it is temporary and soon to be behind me.

Life goes on, busy or not. Each day is a gift; open it with joy!

What a wonderful weekend. It was long and slow.

This is a busy week, but I hope to put "eating right" on the front burner. I gave in a couple times this weekend to a sweet I should not have had--of course, I now regret it. If only I could have the regret before I enjoyed the sweet treat!

Life continues on--and I am thankful.

This has been a "speedy" week with many (God-appointed) opportunities for me to grow.

I see how God is using all stations of my life to move me deeper into His presence, showing me the pursuit for happiness is found in my pursuit for holiness. My crazy days at work teach me this, right along with the wonderful books He brings my way, my friends, and what He teaches me through His Word.

I see how He is availing to me everything I need to "finish well."

I had computer glitches yesterday--oh, the joy of our modern day!

My body aches all over from its workout yesterday. I know on my own I would not push myself to have that level of a workout. When I think I can do no more, the wise instructor says, "Now, do eight more!"

Too often we give up too soon; we miss the fruit about to be produced.

What a wonderful day!

I am so enjoying reading Body by God. It is helping me put it all together--to live in such a way that every part of my life is pleasing to God. Throw yesterday away and start living today! I love the freedom that comes from a positive outlook.

God continues to teach me (praise God!) as I surrender my mind to Him.

(We're having computer problems again. It's a nuisance.)

The week is flying by but not in a rushed sort of way. Thankfully, the meetings have slowed down (and much fruit is taking its place). There has been so much uncertainty these past few months (years!) and seeing God work us through each step (of this seemingly endless journey) is such a blessing.

I praise God for the privilege of choice we have in this country, our beloved America.

It's amazing what a difference a day can make!

I felt empowered by my food choices yesterday, a feeling I haven't felt in some time. On all levels it strengthens the commitment when doing what is right. It's still a day at a time; there's no guarantee I will be this serious about my health-walk "from this day forward."

But, this I know: Each good day sets a stronger foundation for the days that follow.

I have really been eating sloppy--and feeling it!

Today is a new day. I made a wrap with raw veggies and avocado for my lunch and will stay away from the cooked food at work. I have been doing that too much--not packing my own food. So, I am looking at a new beginning.

That's what I love about God's twenty-four hour time increments--new beginnings are always available!

I feel half-awake--another late meeting.

It will be good when my life has some "normalcy" again. This is my last year to serve on the Board, and it's time to pass the baton. It's been an exciting three years to watch the Lord work, taking that which was (humanly) impossible and making it possible.

He is still doing a work that only He can do--uniting hearts. There have been many hurts as we humanly fumbled our way through this.

What a weekend! I don't know if I could go through another one like it.

Saturday was busy getting ready for Sunday. Sunday was about more than I could handle--on many levels. I drove to church in sleet and drove home in a blizzard (well, not quite a blizzard; but since it is April, I will call it a blizzard) and slid toward ditches twice with my car going sideways. Then I waited (while serving many family members a meal celebrating our grandson's fourth birthday) for "the call." Will the vote be "yes" or "no" to keep our school open next year.

Praise God we will continue to have a Christian school!

Fridays have become very important days to me. It is my last hurdle before a change of pace.

I have a busy weekend ahead of me as I prepare for Sunday. Not only is it an important day for church family (as we make a life-changing decision), but also an important day for our family. Our youngest grandchild turns four. We will have a house full of family well-wishers enjoying Taco Casserole--and lots of cake and ice cream!

God desires His best for each of us.

It's been an interesting couple months.

In November, when I started taking classes, my focus was only on completing the course. However, God put before me committee work (which I usually shun) that has put my impending "career" on hold. Last night I saw the fruit of the marathon meetings our committee endured. To see God at work in the lives and hearts of a room full of questioning people (parents and students) was an experience like no other.

I was a witness to "all things are possible with God."
