The fit woman

"...She sets about her work vigorously, her arms are strong for her tasks" Prov 31:17

Her arms aren't the christian mother arms, her tummy is not flabby, and her thighs are toned, worked out because she needs the strength of her muscles for her work.

It is needful to be healthy and in shape. If not for my husbands' desire, then for my health. "...that you may have health in abundance..." is a promise that will not come to pass if you take for granted your own health.

Therefore, I have taken up the gym, not just to loose weight and be healthy but to cultivate working out as a lifestyle. I can just imagine myself after kids still looking strong and healthy, muscles toned and appetite controlled; what a wonderful feeling.

Just three days of gyming, and I feel good. I know people often say, well, lets see how long you can pull this off; the thing is I am taking it one day at a time.

Work out, eat healthy, eat what I want but in small portions, eat before 7pm, eat loads of fruits, drink tons of water and continually serve God. Yes, serve God because He give seed to the sower and bread for food and so without him, healthy eating is not even possible.

So thats it, being healthy and staying healthy is beneficial for you and your family.

With love, and my eyes on the weight scale,

That Proverbs Woman!!!

Love of the 14th

Valentine is sort of over-rated. Most people do not know the origins of the celebration or the day itself, and they blindly celebrate it. I'd rather not go into that, for the sake of a short post.

This is not to say that I do not celebrate valentine's day. I do.

Thing is...I celebrate Him everyday.

In my opinion, valentine's day should only be the extra-extra-extra mile day.

Unfortunately, today i struggle with getting in the mood for candles, dinner and gifts. I did not even get him a gift, not because I did not want to but because I lost the chance to get him what i really wanted to get him. I am grateful that even at the last minute, a friend bailed me out. Thanks T.

But regardless of how moody or out of it i feel, and being the proverbs 31 woman that I am becoming more and more of each day, I take time out to pray for him today. I take time out to tell him I would not be with anyone else. I take out time to do more for him today, even if I cannot afford to get him the world.

I take time out to tell him "I LOVE YOU BABY".

Happy Valentine everyone.

Concerns

I wonder if...

He only prays now because he desires something

He is not as focused as he seems now

His heart will continually be stayed on God

He will let the world take him from God

He will be a good father

He will be a good husband

I will be enough for him

We will last

He comes from a broken home and so do I. 

We have got to break the cycle; 

This is where the Proverbs 31 woman  kicks in. 

"She watches over the affairs of her household"

I am in charge of how things turn out in my home. On my knees I would remain to ensure that my concerns only remain concerns. 

Prayer is my weapon in this fight to keep my home and to break the cycle of the broken home! 

I own this! Gods got this!
