Walking in close fellowship…

Enoch lived in close fellowship with God for another 300 years…

…walking in close fellowship with God…

…then one day he disappeared, because God took him…

Excerpts from Genesis 5:22-24, NLT

Thinking on living in close fellowship with God for 300 + years! Then basically walking up to Heaven! What a life! What a prayer. 🙏🏻 May I live and walk in close fellowship with my God.♥️

Trying to move my feet literally and spiritually move my spirit by seeking after my Lord wholeheartedly! Started a fun little walking challenge for myself. Steps-for-Books! For every 15 miles, I can buy a book over $5. I already earned one, but haven’t purchased it yet! I’m really enjoying the Strava app my son got me into for tracking.

My sister and I have been slowly going through The Body Revelation by Alisa Keaton and it is my favorite health book so far that I’ve ever read! I love all the Scripture and focus on the Lord, yet the love and compassion of healing ❤️‍🩹 inside and out. I’ve been through a lot of learning not to stuff my emotions down, but to lovingly deal with them. My go-to-unhealthy habit has been eating my way through emotional stress or extremes in various areas. I’m facing myself honestly here as I’ve lost and regained so much weight over the years, done so many different things to try to deal with all the feels. Learning to be compassionate with myself by gently working through things instead of stuffing them with excessive food, books, entertainment is so hard but good. I’m learning to just having patience and be consistently obedient to the inner work that needs doing.

How is your New Year starting off? I know it’s cliche to talk about health in January, but it’s something I’m determined to prayerfully, patiently surrender to this year. I’m looking forward to being apart of the February World Peace Poem project again! I think this is my 5th? year participating! Sending out about a poem a day to others. ♥️ Do you have any fun projects on the horizon?

  2. Hello, Amy! I think a new year is a good opportunity to consider what God wants for me! I, too, am thinking about health. I am in that phase of life where nothing is working like it used too. I need to make the effort to figure out how to be healthy now 🙂 I am making a “becoming board” which my friend Mariah put me on to. I am hoping the visualizing will help! I love your idea of walking for books!

  4. I also love the walking for books idea! I find that I have to motivate myself to exercise in similar ways. I have a quick workout of squats, push-ups, mountain, climbers, lunges, and jumping jacks. I haven’t been doing the exercises for the past year at least. But I just started doing them again and I have to “buy myself a shower” (I really love a nice hot shower). So, before I can have my shower I have to do my exercises. This system has worked for the last four days in a row… 🙌 I am trying to force myself to commit to committing to it. It’s like I know that I should exercise, and I know that I should want to exercise, but at the same time, I don’t want to exercise.
    It was also recently revealed to me that I eat when I am stressed or emotional because it immediately makes me feel better. So if the kids are driving me crazy I eat a snack and if something happens, that stresses me out socially I have another snack. And so on and so on. So I feel like I kind of understand where you’re coming from.
    Sending prayers for your New Year’s goals! 🙏🩷
