Better-Body-Steward, Days 10 & 11

Yes! Two days in a row of exercising! I was able to increase reps, too! Praise the Lord! I have found a time of day that I really enjoy exercising, and it happens to be the time of day when naptimes occur. I would like to incorporate exercise in the AM, but currently tend to only do stretches, when I remember. I am truly thankful for getting in exercise each day. I know it may not seem like much, but since this form of exercise was not instilled in me, save in school, it has been a battle every day. Yet, each day I see that God is good and faithful to me. ;) Today, I would like to share praise to God not only for getting me exercising, but also for a text-later-turned-into-a-phone-call from a blessed sister-in-Christ. She did not know, but she had been on my mind for some time, and I am going through some rough things right now. I tend to keep my battles to just God, Dear, and myself. I do not like broadcasting them and appearing self-centered, tend to not feel safe sharing my heart with everyone, or to have a woe-is-me attitude (even if I am feeling that way--only God and Dear put up with me like that well, because they do not tolerate self-pity, but encourage me to pull up the boot straps and keep going; as well as giving me the right perspective and counsel). Her visit with me today, a God-send, was an incredible blessing to me! I also want to give God praise for Dear. He has used him in my day today to calm my heart, give me direction, reaffirm the truth to me, and pray with me; all while he was working. I do not deserve that man, but am so glad he is mine! Tomorrow, I hope to either get up super early to exercise, or exercise when I get home from helping my friend, M. We shall see! If I do not, I will be counting the day's house activities as my "workout.". :)
