Progress… What’s Progress??

Who determines what is progress and what isn’t? Society…. I guess?!! Not so sure I buy into that…. I used to let others tell me how I should workout, what program I should use, how often my schedule should make time to make progress. I soon realized that my body can’t take what others can. I also realized that my body type needs certain training for me to have the results I want for myself.

After becoming a runner, I learned that others planned their running regimen to keep up with others or be like others. I, then, learned that I can’t plan my running around others goals. I had to set goals for just me. I chose baby steps from running 2 miles to becoming a 1/2 marathon runner. It took me an entire year to train for my first 1/2 marathon. Others could have this training done in 13 weeks, but not me! I just couldn’t do that. My body would of shut down and I would of NEVER gotten to run my first 1/2 marathon.

You know… somebody once said “small progress is still progress”…. and that is me! I have to remind myself that even though I can’t quite keep up with others, I am making the small progress I need to staying fit and healthy….. especially at 40! Ha! Keep up your motivation to making a healthy you!! I believe in you, friend!!

Do your roots run deep???

Have you ever gone online and registered to see where your ancestors are from? Who you really are? What makes up your DNA? Well…. I’m not sure, but my brother might of done this for us. He is always telling me where we originated on our Mom’s side, then our Dad’s sign. I’m not smart enough to know if his “useless knowledge”, as I pick on him and say, is true or not!

I do know that I have always been taught that my roots should run deep with God. He needs to be intertwined in all I do. I really didn’t think that was such a big deal until God made me a Momma. I did know how important it was, but I guess my perspective seemed to change and I was able to connect on a different level than before.

As I watch my boys grow, which by the way is way too fast, I have a different perspective on how my boys need to see where my roots are embedded. I view differently what it means for my life to be built upon Him. I always connected with how my faith would grow deep with strength especially standing firm in His truth, but I am overflowing with thankfulness the opportunity God has given me to raise these two boys of ours.

Where do your roots run? How deep do they go?

“Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built upon Him, then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.” -Colossians 2:7
