Day Two, Body Gospel-- Remembering Stretch Armstrong

Here I am, survived Day Two of my 1st 30 days of BODY GOSPEL. Today we did what is called: CORE REVIVAL. It was mostly stretching, yoga-wise, all parts of the body.

I was able to do about 75% of it, I guess, taking frequent rests when my muscles made me. The music chosen for the 18-minute session was a rap song, DJ style, and I couldn't really understand what they were saying. But the moves were severely needed by my body, so I am 100% glad I did it!

My back hasn't hurt since yesterday morning, when I finished Day One's exercises. I think I have found the cure to my chronic back pain! BODY GOSPEL!

I ate responsibly yesterday, and took my supplement. I also measured the ol' gal. No, I won't tell you.
Tomorrow, I'll report on Day Three.
I am not forwarding these anymore; if you read this and you're not me, HI! HOW ARE YOU? MAY GOD BLESS YOU TODAY!!

In Messiah always,

WORK-OUT Worship? Ellen's 1st Day w/Body Gospel

Ellen a few years ago. 40 Lbs lighter. Worshiping.

Hey guys,

This morning, I did Day One of the 30-Day Body Gospel program.

I didn't pray real hard on my hands and knees beforehand. I have a close, one-on-one, 24/7 chat going with the Father, so it didn't occur to me to "get prayed up" before I began.

As we warmed up (a fairly active warm-up, showing me that this is no program for rank beginners), I marched along with the leader, the gospel song playing the background, and yes, I thanked God in my heart for my health and such and such.

What I didn't expect was the waterworks.

Four minutes in, I sensed the presence of God in the room with me and began to weep. You're familiar with those tears? They are the tears of joy that seep out when you're deep in prayer or worship; when the Spirit of God is close, and your communion is as if you're touching the Divine. You've sensed that before. Well, He was there, marching along with me, worship music blaring, our hands up, muscles working, heart pumping, lungs working. I just didn't expect it.

I thanked Him profusely during the work-out and after. I'm still thanking Him. He wanted me to "feel" that He was there with me. That focusing on Him while I get in better health is a good thing, with His stamp of approval. This one will work. This time, I will get my body in line and gain control over my food-lust.

This is a 30-day program. After that, you mix-it-up, and with all of these different DVDs, I shouldn't get bored. I feel rejuvenated, alive, my back isn't sore for the first time in a year. My positivity levels are through the roof. I will post here daily of my progress and insights. It's for me, and for anyone Adonai sends who might also be working to lose weight to be better use to Him and His people.

Ya'll have a blessed day--and that includes me and you and you and you and you... :-)

Eloheinu, my God and Malcheinu, my King, Avinu, my Father, I lift up the readers of this blog to your throne. May each and every one of us fulfill our purposes that You have set from the beginning of the world, and may we grow into the image of Your Son Yeshua, Jesus, that we may become echad, ONE with You and You are echad ONE with Yeshua. Amein and Amein, I love You and I want to spend eternity with You. You are awesome and worthy of praise!

Projected Results (if we can't have fun, what good is it?) LOL

The Shema:

Shema yisrael adonai eloheinu adonai echad, barukh shaym k'vod malchuto l'olam va-ed.
Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Blessed be His glorious kingdom for all eternity!
