Never ever give up.

Never ever give up.

This morning when I woke up I thought about my life and how I have learned the most from never giving up on myself.  For about 3 weeks now I have been exercising.  This past week I have been inconsistent due to the weather but also due to my husband not being well enough to come with me for walks.  Every time I have tried my best to exercise while being married I have lost confidence.  Not because of my husband, but because I didn't have the right mindset and would always get down on myself for not being consistent.  I would set unrealistic goals and would commit to too much and not listen to my body.  It's been almost 2 years being married and I have not had consistent exercise.  I'm ashamed to say that I have done these things and literally let go of looking after my temple but I'm at that point where I need to look after myself.  I must admit that now that I am in a new environment and nearing 30 that I have this resolve to never give up on doing some exercise during the week.  

Everyday that I get up whether I feel like doing exercise or not, I think about the body that God has blessed me with.  I think about this machine that is in need of being looked after.  I think about it's future purpose to give birth and raise children.  I think about where I will be needed later on in life and what God may have in store for me and I think all I have to do today is get up, put on some clothes and sneakers and God will help me in my pursuits of renovating this temple of His lol.  I was recently reading on some blogs about running and the biggest struggle will be getting out of bed, but once I have my sneakers on, it's pretty much a done deal lol.  

So here's to a great year.  A year of me not giving up on myself or others around me.  It's not my job to be perfect or think that I am this marvelous person that is always supposed to be, but as long as I never give up in the pursuit of anything worthwhile, then I can always have that dream or goal come to fruition.  

Through Christ I can do all things.  Never ever give up.
