    Proverbs 25:27
    It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory.



    1 Corinthians 9:24
    Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.

    Not all of us find imaginary friends so appealing and can do things of our own volition.

    Keep it about God and being healthy for Him to do His will :)

    Isaiah 40:31 "But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."

    Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

    Psalm 25:4 "Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow."

    Psalm 37:34 "Put your hope in the LORD. Travel steadily along his path. He will honor you by giving you the land.

    Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- think about such things."

    Zephaniah 3:17 "The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”

    my fav verse: james 1:2-4 (NIV)

    'consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverence. perseverence must finish its work in you so that you may become mature and complete, not lacking anything.'

    My Sunday school teacher quotes this verse almost weekly! I'm sad it didn't come to mind, but thanks for the reminder!

    Reminding myself that I have a new born again spirit that has the been made perfect and dwells with the Holy Spirit inside my body. So no matter what I feel or think it is not what is going on inside of the real me. Also the awesome works that Christ did here in the world, we that are born again will do greater things! Got to be ready when called on to serve.

    Ephesians 3

    "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever."

    Isaiah 40:31
    "but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strengh. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

    Love this I need to start to recite this while I run and I am getting tired. AMAZING!

    I have really been struggling lately trying to find a happy balance. I feel a little obsessed with my weight loss and half marathon training. I have lost 25lbs and want to lose about 15ish more. I am trying to find God in all this. I feel like I am balancing staying healthy and my family and my work and ignoring God. I need to involve HIM more. Thanks so much for this post.
    God is awesome!

    Have you heard of the Made to Crave book. I have not read it but I think it would be a good one to help. It is written by Lysa Terkeurst.

    I have read some of it and it really combines faith and eating :)

    Philippians 4:13 ~ I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

    On my own I can do nothing, with Christ, I can do ANYTHING.

    Hebrews 11:24-26 ~ By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; CHOOSING RATHER TO SUFFER AFFLICTION with the people of God, THAN TO ENJOY THE PLEASURES OF SIN FOR A SEASON; ESTEEMING THE REPROACH of Christ GREATER RICHES THAN THE TREASURE in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

    Moses, through faith, recognized that temporary pleasure gained from doing the wrong thing, could not measure up to the reward at the end of the longer, harder road. Doing the right thing is rarely the easy thing to do. Your body is going to tempt you to give in and give up. Don't do it. Keep fighting. Keep your eyes on the prize. NOTHING tastes as good as fit and healthy feels. Sure, you're going to experience moments of failure, as Moses did, but he never gave up. He kept doing what God had called him to do, and he gained an eternal reward for it. In this particular case, God has called you to start taking better care of the body He has given you. When you have a moment of failure, don't let it stop you. Get back up with God's help and keep fighting. Recently, I posted in my MFP newsfeed that I was in alot of pain from a recent workout. A friend commented that it's weakness leaving my body and that it (weakness) likes to make a grand exit. My response? Okay, weakness, go ahead and fight all you want because the struggle will only make me stronger. It's like strength training at the gym. Without resistance we never get stronger.
