Thanks Melissa

I started out this morning, just not in the best of moods. I decided to go to the gym, and not run outside today. I am trying to transition into running on the treadmill again since apparently winter is quickly creeping in on us. :)   So, exciting to say, I ran for 4 whole minutes without over exhausting myself today and at a pretty decent speed.  I have been doing like 2 mins on of running and 1 off, well I got really into a song on the mp3 player and next thing I knew it had been about 4 mins!  Then I rode the bike for 20 mins on a cross training setting, my new fav setting, but OMG so hard!  I was covered covered in sweat. It takes you from like 1 to 10 in intensity and all over the page, but good work out. Then I did some weights, which was nice.  Anyways, sorry for the ramblings of my workout routine for today, but my point is, the workout did lift my spirits some.

Then I come home and find a wonderful text from a friend and we agree to meet up before I go to work for a few mins, make some breakfast and sit down to watch Chopped. Then, I log on to FB and a friend on FB posted  this verse today and although she may of not been posting it for me, that verse is exactly what I needed!

Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Right now I am in a weird place, full of alot of anxiety and uncertainty. I know that this is life, and that we all have it. Its not a feeling that comes over me for an entire day, rather something that comes and goes on a daily basis.  It isn't an all consuming feeling, but still something that frequently plagues my mind. 

Although working out aided in the mood change, the bible verse aided in a wonderful sense of peace that came over me the minute I read it. I know that God hears all that we have to say, but sometimes the patience of waiting is so tough! 

Thanks Melissa Navarro for posting this verse today.   I hope that the verse aids others in their journey of today!
