Feeling the Pain!

Hi everyone,

So I have not been cheating, sitting in a dark room with candy wrappers or tipping the ice cream guy down the road for his discretion of who he shares is his best customer.

Just been a little busy, fear not for I am back.



I have been pondering today about the meaning of "No pain, No Gain!" I always hated that phrase only for the absolute truth it carries.

I have been really good at going to the gym every night. I finish work at 9pm and then head to Fitness World sweat like crazy, but as I look around me and see all the others in the place (Never smiling by the way, seriously have a sandwich it will make you happier) I think to myself are they feeling the pain like I do. All these years of going up and down with my weight cannot be good for my joints, and I do feel it EVERY morning.

Today was the worst. I was taking my son to daycare this morning and as I was going down my front steps, I slipped and fell hitting my head against the side of the porch and kitting my son to the ground as he slipped the rest of the way! NOW that was pain!!!

So I have decided that no pain no gain has it's limits.

But that's not the only pain that we have to overcome when trying to reach our ULTIMATE LIFE CHALLENGE.

There are many circumstances why we have gotten to the point of why we need to overcome our issues. I am not just talking overeating, it can be anything. (You know what I am talking about)

I was never the fat kid that got made fun of. Instead I was actually pretty popular. I always had friends and was never without a date when I needed it. So where is the pain coming from. I remember certain events when I couldn't participate because of my weight, things I was just not invited to because I just knew I couldn't do it. That is so sad to me. The pain is missing out on life. SO no pain no gain has a new meaning for me. LIVING.

I say bring on the pain. Let's deal with it, let's REALLLY feel it. We can overcome it.

If it's abuse in you life or unresolved issues I am challenging you FACE it. It's going to hurt

it's really going to suck.

Do you think Christ didn't know it was going to be the worst pain ever felt by a human being to take on the entire sins of the world, but he faced it and because of it you can give it all to him.



Your daily challenge today is......



NO pain NO gain...... Face it or you will NEVER overcome your ULTIMATE LIFE CHALLENGE!!!!
