So I have been reading the book, A Praying Life, one thing that the author talked about is how he put his prayers for family members and such on note cards. Many times later he could look back and see prayers answered. He talked about going to our heavenly Father like a child. To ask for even the little things. After all even in the little things "who else would they really come from." I am now using notpad on my computer..typing down prayers. I also cut and paste prayers from FB. Finding a lot of my friends asking for prayer so to remember them in prayer I cut and paste them onto wordpad. I look over my prayers several time through out the day.

Praying about everything gives the control back to God. We often try to be in control of everything and don't even realize that is what we are doing. That is where worry an anxiety sits in as well as discouragement and such. When something worries me go to God, when I need something go to God, when my child needs something go to God, when I need help with some task to be done go to God. May we be encouraged to go to God in All things. He is there for us all we need is to ask.

Speaking of control. Something I have been thinking about is how often we christian really do try and take control of things and not really realize it. We find ourselves trying to control others make them believe as we do we try to control our own situations as well. Instead of taking each situation to God in prayer. We will even go as far as use scripture to prove our point and more than that a attempt to make one do what they should do or do what we think they should do or how they should be. How is that not good when after all we are using scripture. One thing is we often make premature judgments about things. God sees the whole picture, we often make a quick judgment without all the facts. It is not us who can change people it is God it is by the holy spirit and the love of God. Scripture can be just noise if not speaking or received it with the right motive and without the love of Christ. It is not by force or manipulation that one should follow scripture then ones heart is not in it. We should see scripture first as something to reflect on. Take it to prayer. What do I need to learn? What areas do I need to grow in? How does this scripture speak to me? Lord give me the strength to live out your will in me. Amen. After all it is our actions that will speak louder than words. The actions in Gods children is what will bring Gods word to life or kill his word. People close there ears to His word when they see those who preach not practice. When we love one another that speaks volume. That is living scripture. As we live scripture we can speak scripture in love and in prayer. With scripture first reflect, chew on it feed your spirit then you can go and feed your brother. No other other motive but to just feed let God do the rest. Share what you are chewing on in LOVE. Taking everything to prayer.

1 Corinthians 13

1 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.


May we put most of our time and energy in serving one another in love. By first humbly seeking our heavenly father morning day and night. May we communicate to the father so naturally as we do to breath. Amen.

OK so yesterday I decided to ride our indoor bicycler that has only been collecting dust. What isn't that what its for? Yes I finally after, well yes years, decided to get on it and ride. I did this a few times ride it but never stuck to it. The test will I stick to it? We shall see we shall see :) I was really excited at first to come to the notion hey I can read my kindle while I ride. It was working out great but well with 5 children you are bound to get interruptions especially when you have a toddler. Not sure how many minutes I got in maybe about 15 min or maybe it was 10 who knows. I am not going to get discouraged about the interruptions because I know every little bit counts and this too helps form a habit. In time I will get those better or longer workouts.

Today I walked around the block not a run just a walk remember I am forming a habit. Some days I will walk, some run and others ride the bicycle. What are you going to do for your exercise? Be sure to bring a buddy along it always make the weight much lighter,great support. Speaking of support be sure to go to Reshaping it All daily where you will get much support, encouragement and tips.

Why exercise....is it really worth all the effort? There are so so many exercise benefits!! Here is a few

# Exercise Benefit #1...Increased energy: The right combination of exercise and nutrition creates an hormonal environment conducive to fat loss, increased muscle strength and increased energy. When your body is working at peak efficiency, your energy levels soar!

Everyday things become much easier to do.

# Exercise Benefit #2...Increased Self-Esteem: Gaining control of your body size and weight through fitness is an amazing way to increase self-esteem. You look better and are more confident which empowers you in everything you do. You will find that the self-discipline required and learned through regular exercise spills over into other areas of your life and you will be better able to make other necessary and desireable changes.

# Exercise Benefit #3...Increase Mental Focus: Did you know that the latest research shows that exercise helps keep the brain sharp well into old age? Anything that involves mental acuity (focus and concentration) is improved. You also stand a much better chance of avoiding such diseases as Alzheimer's and senility.

OK I don't really consider myself on a diet. Though what we eat is our diet and am wanting to watch what I eat and well "Reshape it all" Looking at my whole life and being. My diet isn't just about what I take in but also what I live out. Healthy inside and out is what I hope to be working in me. So today I must start with the confessions of a so called "Dieter"

On the food and exercise department I must confess I am not doing a very good job. Exercise regularly ha I have not got to that point yet. Eating the right amount of veggies and water has not totally entered my diet vocabulary. Though I would like it to be my greatest focus at this point. I have subtracted soda's from my diets vocabulary though I have done this many times before only to find it back again. So I will be pleased to see me stick to it. This week will be about bringing the veggies in much more often as well as drinking water then of course the daily exercise. I hope to report of my progress soon rather than confessing of not greeting my goals :) Talk about goals, well they aren't all just about food as I said earlier. And really can't achieve anything on my own. I really don't have the power all by myself. which brings me to the power of prayer. I too have many confessions of many areas of my life as we all do. So that too brings me to prayer.

Something I should be living out in life so much more. With a true repenting heart. Hmmmmm and How often do I ask my heavenly Father for help? How am I starting my morning? Do I give Him my day when I rise? Do I seek Him in all things? What about before I go to sleep do I talk with my savior? Do I ever come to my heavenly father with a thankful heart. During my reshaping it all I hope to grow in faith and become more prayerful. May we be like a bean sprout, (when planted in prayer and word), grow all over the place. Inside and out, here and there....come on lets sprout.

Many Moons ago....

The sun is hidden away and the night has come. It feels much like a dark dreary night when my children get sick especially my children who have TP 1 diabetes. The sinus junk has hit our home. At first it was not so bad the littlest who has diabetes even though coughing and congested seem to feel fine. Today I think it has finally caught up with him. My older son who has diabetes is also not feeling well. When ever these two get sick it really takes a toll on them. Seems to last longer than the rest and hit harder than the rest of the kids. There is a lot that one must consider with these two guys when they are sick. High BG and low BG they come more often when sick. Then there is diabetic ketones you have to worry about. It is a bumpier ride with many precautions to be made. Thankfully I am not sick and am able be there for everyone. The only sick I have is that feeling mommies get deep down in your gut when your child is not well. DH isn't feeling well either so we got three sickies (2 of them multiply times 2 for all the extra that has to be done with chronic illnesses) so that means putting this mommy on over drive for waiting on and and nurturing. Glad to though, I love, love, love my family!!! I would hate to be separated from my kids when they are sick it would be like the night without the moon and the stars. Praying they will get sunshine soon.....<3

Day 2

Here I am on day two of Reshaping it all so so excited about this book and change in my life! Candace has hit it on the nail where healthy living really must begin and where we should be looking all the way through. A scripture that Candace shared is Eph.3:20 He is "able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." First step is to turn to God and ask for help and know through Him we can get on that road and move right along. Hope you have jumped on board it is going to be an awesome ride!! I have not bought the book yet but have read the first chapter. After reading the first chapter I defiantly plan to buy the book.If you are thinking about buying her book, (though you don't have to much of its riches will be shared on the website) you can go on amazon and read the first chapter free......before you buy. Also remember that the kindle version is cheaper and you can get that. If you don't have kindle that is OK you can get kindle for your PC for free! Though it doesn't cost much to buy the hard copy book either. Then there is also the chance to win that you will find on link below.

I will be sharing much of my 65 day journey on here almost daily. I will also be sharing about another book "Calm my Anxious Heart" a journey to contentment which really helps with our journey to healthy living as well. I am very excited about both books!!

Part of the journey is packing. When you decide to go on a trip there is always planning and packing that goes along with it. So lets get to planning and packing. The map is already laid out for our trip in Reshaping it all. Other maps that will be used is the bible and Calm my Anxious Heart.

Packing ~ Healthy eats, exercise, maps (the bible, reshaping it all, calm my anxious heart),elbow greece and one positive attitude :)

Plan and goals be sure to write down yours

Another thing that I will add to my 65 day journey is my home. Some weight loss needs to be done here. Been working on establishing healthy routines that keep a healthy and happy home. So I will be cleaning house literally as well as metaphorically. So far the steps we have made is one really clean room :) Will be working on one room at a time. Also working on establishing healthy routines for me and the kids. I put chore lists on the door for each person. This is one step the other is following through and being consistent. the 65 day journey will help us get to consistency.
