Challenge - What do You Speak?

I put this on my Facebook status today and felt the nudge to put it here too. I am not pointing fingers at anyone, besides the old saying, 'when you point a finger at someone, there are 3 pointing back at you"!

But stop and think about what you have been speaking to your children, your spouse, your neighbors, your 'Christian' brother and sisters......and compare it to what God says we are to speak and how we are to treat the people He created, the people that He does not want to perish.

I sure don't want my tongue (words) to look like this!

Facebook status (please add me as a friend if you're on facebook)

‎"The tongue weighs practically nothing, but so few people 


can hold it." I put this challenge out to you (and myself) think


 before you speak, do you speak mean things to others 


about your spouse (disrespect), do you speak lies about 


other people or expand on their prayer requests (gossip), do 


you say hateful things about or to people that are different 


from you......I could go on and on. Speak life, it could 


improve your marriage, your friendship, your workplace,


 the persons life you just met today.......it will change your 


life, your attitude and your walk with your Father God! 


Speak life!

and as I was looking for images I found this next one and as a cat lover I just had to add it  :-)

Looks like my Scruffy and his 'tongue' when he is hungry or mad at me for ignoring him. 


Have an awesome day!!

With Great Excitement I Enter This New Year

This is going to be the best year ever!

My husband and I are more committed than ever to get fit not just lose weight.

I have been working out and have made some other changes in the past 5 months with some great results but I want more!!

I'm on a journey to be organized and have started a 30 day accountability class. This is really a jump out of my comfort zone but one that must be accomplished.

After celebrating the holidays and beginning to feel the old backache, tiredness and just general funk we began to talk about 'traditions'.

We have fallen for the 'holidays mean lots of junk food you must eat and go ahead have another plate and another'. Well not anymore, we are starting new traditions. Why should we do so well most the year just to fall back into bad habits and the feeling of ick?

So I will up my workouts, mix them up for excitement and start tracking what I eat. (someone kick me if I don't do this!! no wait, give me the Gibbs head slap, that's safer lol)

My husband and I want to be ready for the call God has on our life at this time and we know we must have energy and flexibility.

There is a call for him to write and produce music, so he now has a studio in our home, 3 songs waiting for a copyright. He is also acting in Independent films and I go around for support and extra help. It has been fun!! Two movies due out this year.

Then there's our Pastor(s) wanting me to step up and begin teaching a class and sharing during Discipleship, to encourage the younger women.

So here we go....our journey begins and it's going to be full of joy!
