Quick, Easy Fitness Tips for Ordinary Women
1. Set specific, measurable goals. Create a colorful chart to monitor and measure your progress. Put it on your refrigerator or pantry door.
2. Celebrate improvement.
3. Find a walking partner. Walk 3-5 days per week for 30 minutes. If you can’t do that from day 1, just start by walking out your front door, walk 7 minutes. Turn around and come home. Each day, add 2 minutes until you build up to 30.
4. Work toward a fitness event. Register for a 5k walk or run for charity. Join a group that plans to hike a specific mountain or state park trail.
5. Cross-train. Mix it up. Bike. Walk, Jump. Swim. Stretch.
6. Lift weights. You can find dumbells at a yard sale or pick them up at Walmart. Videos I like include: 8 minutes in the morning and anything by The FIRM. (You might find videos on eBay)
7. Get the Curves fitness sandals from Avon and wear them all day, especially as you do your housework. Right now, Avon will even give you a coupon for 30 days FREE at Curves. Only $25 – a fabulous deal. I love these things!!!
8. Kitchen Exercise. While making dinner or after school snacks, dance around like a nut. Put on some upbeat praise music and have fun! Or lift tomato cans. Do Lunges. Get moving!
9. Shower Exercise – While conditioning your hair, do push-backs against the shower wall (careful though). Lift shampoo bottles. Do isometric squeezes or squats.
10. Whenever you feel self-conscious, flabby, fat , whatever – take action. Move that part of your body you are unhappy with. Bend, stretch, lift, resist.
11. Jump on a mini-trampoline while on the phone.
12. Family Fitness. Get your whole family involved. Ride bikes with your kids. Walk your dog. Take a fitness-oriented vacation at the beach or go on an adventure vacation, rather than an amusement park.
13. Take the stairs. In your own house, too. Take them two by two (hold onto the rail and be careful, of course) But first thing in the morning, deliberately go up and down the steps at least 20 times to get the blood pumping.
14. Red lights are a great time to do isometric squeezes.
15. Remember that fitness is a way of life! Enjoy.

Mighty Musk Ox Prayer
Mighty Musk Ox Prayer
Come Holy Spirit
Come into our midst
Cleanse us of our sins
Renew our spirits
Make us whole
Move within us, Holy Spirit
Move us to action
Give us peace
Sp our souls will be at rest
Give us strength to go on
against our adversaries
Instruct us, Holy Spirit
So we may do God’s work
Send us out to bring the
Light of God to the dark world
And God’s word to those who
hunger for Him
Protect us, Holy Spirit
From ourselves
From our arrogance
From our pride
From our self pity
Inspire us, Holy Spirit
To step outside of ourselves
To forget ourselves
To focus on Jesus
To be the women God
wants us to be
Women with a mission
Women with a plan
Women who know the Lord
And listen intently
To get our assignments
Thank you, Holy Spirit
Thank you, Jesus
Thank you, God, our Father
Written May 30, 2009, as I waited patiently to pray with Donna Partow after the healing session with Father Fleming’s healing team.

God will make a way in your wilderness
Why does God provide streams in the desert?
I’d personally prefer if God just sent a helicopter to get me out of the wilderness places. But sometimes, he calls us into a dry desert place, to test us and help us discover who we are and what we truly believe.
P.S. Yes, I know Jesus was born in Bethlehem…little goof up there!

Why Not You?
Once there was a woman
With faith as strong as nails,
But untoward things did happen
And she felt she’d lost her sails.
When storms would come blowing,
The Shepherd never left her side.
She knew He was worth knowing
And, eventually, turn the tide.
Her faith was shaken harshly.
There was a price to pay.
Her life lived only partially,
In a wobbly kind of way.
She prayed, “O Great God Jehovah
Deep down I need to know YAH,
I’m hurting and I’m lonely.
I want to disappear”.
Then, came a band of eagle warriors,
Who sang to her their song.
They were all such lovely daughters,
Flying high above the throng.
She hooked her wagon to them
As they soared above the crowd.
She practiced daily wisdom
And sang her songs out loud.
She slowly saw within her
A prize from heaven above.
A new heart cleansed and whole again.
A gift of His great love.
Her faith had been recovered,
Her joy had now returned,
She had at last discovered,
The bright future for which she yearned.
He made her life a tapestry.
Of faith-filled love, of melody.
Order he brought, freedom, too,
It …

Dear Lord, I praise you, the everlasting God. I thank you because you never grow tired or weary.
