I reminded myself of this recently. It's not about me at all, this wellness journey I am on to a healhier version of myself. Not at all. Never has been, really. It is about the people who invest in me. My husband. My boys. My family. My friends. They all share themselves with me. When I am not at my best, I'm not giving them a good return for their investment. They get the tired looks, the lack of energy excuses, and the wimpy "maybe next time" cop outs. I have come to realize that those that take precious time to invest in me deserve better from me. I need to adhere to the direction given on any flight I've ever been on that goes something like this: make sure your own oxygen mask is properly secured before helping others. If I don't take care of myself first, my ability to care for others effectively diminishes quickly. My choosing clean eating, drinking enough water, and exercising on a daily basis is how I put on my mask first. Am I perfect at meetin...
My life of FAITH, FAMILY, and FITNESS.


Love it and love the picture...very beautiful! Thanks for linking up. Oh and I really like your patriotic background, fun!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful shot...with the mountain shadow in the background and the darker clouds and ground. Great job! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat scripture. I'm waiting...
ReplyDeleteI am so waiting for the day the Lord shall return... but until then I hope to see places as gorgeous as where this photo was taken!
ReplyDeleteIt will certainly come and we should always be ready! Beautiful photo as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Scripture & a Snapshot this week! :)
Patience is not really my strong suit. Sometimes I need reminders like this that God's time is never wrong, I just need to wait for it.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo! Habakkuk is a wonderful book--studied it last year and really heard a lot from the Lord.
