Power, Love, and Self-Control: Vacation Walking Paths

Vacation Walking Paths

Just a couple of the more interesting places where I've been walking the past few days!

I'm a black or white person.

When it comes to walking,
I either like taking different paths every day

doing the same routine every day.

I go in streaks. There are positives for both.

While on vacation this week, it's been different paths every day.

Rebecca, I could no sooner walk across that suspension bridge than I could fly to the moon. No way, Jose. Uh uh. Petrified of heights and heights over water? Oh, you would see me running FAST in the other direction. You are one brave woman. Susan

Could you call that a walk on the wild side? Especially for Miss Susan?!

Susan (and Donna), I made the other three cross ahead of me. It was all I could do to cross it WITHOUT it swinging with each of their steps!

The bridge looks much easier than the stairs! Both beautiful though. Wish I could walk more, I really miss that a lot.
Love Di ♥

Wow! Vacation again. You are living a good life! What beautiful places to walk! I walked inside today at our park district indoor track. It is sooooo hard to walk there. I so wanted to be outside but it was raining. The suspension bridge looks like fun. However, I went on one with A & A and family in NC and was terrified seeing those little children practically skip across the bridge! I decided that if I had heart problems I surely would have died!

That Woman is a Success . . .
Found at itsnotaboutfood.blogspot.com

who loves life
and lives it to the fullest;

who has discovered and shared
the strengths and talents
that are uniquely her own;

who puts her best into each task
and leaves each situation
better than she found it;

who seeks and finds
that which is beautiful
in all people and all things;

whose heart is full of love
and warm with compassion;

who has found joy in living
and peace within herself.

~ Barbara J. Burrow ~

To which I add, "who makes God's kingdom and His righteousness her #1 priority"....(rlg)

"A day must come in our lives, as definite as the day of our conversion, when we give up all right to ourselves and submit to the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ. . . . there must be a day when, without reservation, we surrender everything to Him--ourselves, our families, our possessions, our business and our time. All we are and have becomes His, to be held henceforth entirely at His disposal. From that day we are no longer our own masters, but only stewards. Not until the Lordship of Jesus Christ is a settled thing in our hearts can the Holy Spirit really operate effectively in us. He cannot direct our lives effectively until all control of them is committed to Him. If we do not give Him absolute authority in our lives, He can be present, but He cannot be powerful. The power of the Spirit is stayed." (Watchman Nee)

"Each day you take a few small steps, then build on them day after day. There may be set backs, everyone has them, but those victories will add up, and then pretty soon you'll be amazed at how different your life has become. And what could be more alluring than the prospect of waking up to your best life? So roll up your sleeves and get to work!"

"Remember, every step you take toward reaching your weight loss goal is really a gift that you give to yourself. When you eat right and exercise, you are taking care of yourself, treating yourself with respect, and acknowledging that you deserve* to be healthy and happy.” (Bob Green, The Best Life)

Rebecca's note: I have trouble with "deserve". I want to care for my body because God Himself cares for it! Do I "deserve" health? No, in light of my sinful inclinations and the fall of mankind, health is a gift. A GRACE-gift directly from the hand of God--a gift to be handled thankfully and thoughtfully.
