TFW - May in Motion. God's Plan, My Attitude!

Happy Faithful Weigh Tuesday, everyone!  I know yesterday wasn't a great walking day, well, after I got out of work that is.  However, my Action plan was to walk 3 or 4 times this past week and that I did! :)  A small victory but enough that I can feel the difference in my body and my spirits!!  Thank you, Lord! :)  How did your Action Plan go for this week?  Did you wait until this morning to find your Action Card and then try to remember what it was you were "gonna" do and then try to write something "spiritual" down for at least a couple days of the week?  This may sound a little harsh but I have to tell you that I have found myself doing this and it grieves me.  God has given this to us for our benefit.  He doesn't need to use this Action Plan or anything, for that matter, to show us who He is in our daily lives.  However, He chose to bring us to this little "push" of a plan to bring us into communing with Him daily, as we carry out our Action Plan and more importantly, seeking His truth in it.  I know for a fact that He wouldn't have brought me to this if He didn't have something for me to see about myself and most importantly, about who HE is to me, even in my lack of discipline of caring for His temple. It was Saturday morning before I found my card, still in my blue binder.  I started thinking about what God's truth would be for my plan of walking/exercising...to be Moving in May.  I was reminded that I "get to" move.  I "get to" go to work.  I "get to" go about my day freely.  Why do I "get to"?  Why do I "get to" do anything?  Then, as I looked out my porch windows, I saw the verse on our name plaque above the mailbox.  Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plan for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (esv) THIS is why I "get to"!  Because my God, who through His love, grace, mercy and forgiveness towards me, has a plan for me.  A plan for my good.  To give me hope for a future.  A future that I will be able to continue to serve Him with vigor and energy and health.  I don't know what the future holds, only He does, but for today, He has given me the ability to move and do and go.  I "get to" go for a walk because of His grace and mercy to me.  It's in my attitude...this is where the procrastination comes from.  This is where the "hopelessness" comes from that it's not really going to help me lose weight.  What is 3 walks a week going to do, anyways?!  Lord, forgive me for an attitude that discounts Your plan for me to move and sustain the health you have blessed me with.  A prayer from our Faithfully Fit book study, (7/10/12) says this, "...I am thankful for the special plan you have for me. I want to cooperate with that plan in my life -in the way I eat and exercise, and in all of my decisions. Help me to be at peace with myself, not constantly striving to be something that you have not designed me to be. Help me not to fear my weakness, but to trust your overcoming power in me. I thank you, Lord, for these places and times of testing that help me to grow stronger in You, Amen"  God has brought me to this Action Plan for this week, for this time in my journey.  Today, because of God grace, mercy and peace within me, I will go for a walk and thank Him that I "get to"!  So, how has your week been?  He will meet you right where you are, right at this moment.  Meet Him!  He has a plan for you that is good and that will give you hope and a future.  That future is a closer walk with Him each day for eternity!  Praise God! :)  Get walking and rejoice because we "GET TO"!!  Have a blessed day and week ahead, my sweet Faithful Weigh Friends!
