I have made a lot of progress in this “just do it” journey of mine. It started off as a journey of losing weight and getting healthy and it has progressed into a spiritual journey. Let’s get my soul fit & healthy- that has been the tougher battle… but oh so life changing too!
I am learning (haven’t yet mastered it, but trying) to MAKE God a priority. Like I said, work-in-progress! I realized that I make the time to go to the gym at least 3x a week… scheduled appointment, no excuses… why not 2x a week for God? Like the gym thing… it is a battle, but it is one of those things that you feel SO much better when you do it!
Thursday evenings I attend a book study that has been SO helpful. I wish I could get every woman to attend!
We recently started a book titled, Walking by Faith {Lessons Learned in the Dark}, by Jennifer Rothschild. One word to describe the lessons learned so far- amazing. And we are just in week 1!
One thing that has stood out so far in this study is dependency and interdependency. We need to swallow our pride on many occasions and realize that it is OK!
Being dependent on others is not something I have had a choice in. God knew my stubbornness and knew He had to do something to MAKE me have to depend on others.
- I depend on others…
- To sometimes be my legs.
- To help me parent Jayda.
- To be my other hand (because with the cane, I only have one, LOL).
- To workout effectively.
- To be my rock and hold me steady (literally).
I need to.
No shame in it.
Being independent is not all it is cracked up to be and, in my case, would cause a lot of isolation. NOT good.
While I am depending on others for the help, I also need to trust that they WILL help… interdependency… I am blessed with an amazing support system. God knew I needed all these people that He placed in my life.
I can’t just depend on people, I need them to be willing on me being dependent on them!
It’s OK to depend on others!
It’s OK to be interdependent!

Like I said, I am still learning through this journey, but it has changed me so much! Join me, JUST DO IT!
