On Your Heart Tuesdays

Today, I am linking up with http://www.shandaoakleyinspires.com/p/on-your-heart-tuesdays.html   What is on my heart this week? My body, otherwise known as the temple of God. God dwells in our physical bodies, and calls them His temple. Our bodies, like temples, are sacred sites where God dwells. I do not know about you, but I have not been treating my temple very well. I call myself a Christian(Christ Within Me), but I truly wonder, if by looking at me, can others see Christ? Or, do they see, a couch potatoe? Seriously, the most exercise I get is pounding away on my computer keyboard, or cleaning the apartment. Give me a break!! Talking about being a couch potatoe, makes me think about a loaded baked potatoe, with a delicious steak for dinner. I am a type 1 diabetic, which is a serious disease. My diabetes was the cause of my stroke back in September, due to my blood sugars running high for so long. Diabetics need to follow a healthy diet, and it is very important to count your carbs at each meal. Also, you need to maintain a healthy weight. Have I been doing these things?? No!! Should I have been doing these things?? Yes!! Why? Number 1, because, my body does not actually belong to me. It belongs to God, one of His temples. A holy place, where He honors me, by choosing to dwell. It is my responsibility to honor Him, by keeping His temple, clean and healthy. Number 2, God has saved my life, more than once. The least I can do, for the rest of my life, is to show Him, how very thankful I am, for my life. I have started a 90 Day Fitness Challenge, exercising daily, and dieting. Counting those carbs with each meal, no more than 50 with each meal. No snacks, and drinking only water. I am determined to keep my temple, clean and healthy. My husband and I, cleaned out our junk room last week, to prepare it to be an exercise room for me. I hung up a dry erase board in the room, and wrote on it in great big letters, "God's Gym" Open 24/7
