Indeed, I think finding the balance between energy intake and expenditure will be a lifelong task for me!

It is God’s intention that we would live a life that is maximized in every task and project we undertake. I think that a list of “reasons to be thankful” can change perspective and give added insights of how precious our Lord is to us. He showers us with His favor as we focus on His love and care for each detail in our life.
Exercise is a real means of losing weight but I remember the words that say in I Timothy 4:8, “For bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the present life and of that which is to come.” The real issue is that of balance, and to keep spiritually as well as physically fit. Praying with you for wisdom to find that balance.
It is God’s intention that we would live a life that is maximized in every task and project we undertake. I think that a list of “reasons to be thankful” can change perspective and give added insights of how precious our Lord is to us. He showers us with His favor as we focus on His love and care for each detail in our life. Such good reasons to walk by faith in all we do and trust in the Lord with all your heart.
