Joy does come in the morning!

Let the resurrection joy lift us from loneliness and weakness and despair to strength and beauty and happiness, because weeping only endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Last night was rough. It started with my 6am client I was feeling fatigued all day and I did not have much of an appetite and those that know really know me know a sista can eat. I had 2 eggs for breakfast and lunch was some wild n brown rice with tuna. About 1pm I was feeling like poop.

Tired and feeling extremely bloated. After teaching boot camp class and training 5 clients I was ready to go home so I pressed through with another client and drank some tea thinking if its gas it should help my client is a nurse so I was safe with her right. lol.
Well I CX my 3:30 and praise God my 5:30 CX with me, so went home as I was driving home the abdominal cramping got worse and worse and Jesus had to hear his name the way I was calling on him.
I was hot then cold then hot then cold and of course traffic was not light. WHY WHY WHY? I get home and my other half is on his way. I throw up and the pain is a tad less than it was.

OMG Lord please I don't want to get sick-please take it away.

So I lay on the bathroom floor because I was scared to go to far from the toilet. While waiting on hubby my client calls and keeps me company on the phone. My hubby shows up and sees me on the floor and falls to his knees I had to reassure him I was gonna be OK, just in some pain. So we make it back to the bed and he prays over me hard and strong I just knew in my heart that it will pass. I kept reminding myself weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Problem is we just never know how long the night will be. But our faith and hope tells us it will not last. So long story short I tossed and turned and tossed and moaned. Heating pad to ice pack, to sweating to cold. I threw up again about 1:30am then lied back down and all I know is I slept. OH! JOY COMES IN THE MORNING-Thank you Lord. My side was a little soar still but I can stand up straight Hallelujah. I just thank God for his mercy, his grace and ability to hear and heal. Hallelujah

As I try to be still today in my time of rest this quote comes to mind about Christ dying for me

Let the resurrection joy lift us from loneliness and weakness and despair to strength and beauty and happiness, because weeping only endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

The word endures gives us strength, but the waiting is out hope we know the joy is coming, the when of it all is our faith. Have an awesome day my friends.

Hello can make a difference

Today I learned something about myself. Many tell me MJ you care to much. Well I did not think so but today I guess I do. I always think as a Christian we should do what Christ would do. Ya know, forgive, give, except, love, care, donate, understand or empathize with our brother or sister

What puzzles and saddens my heart is how selfish, and hateful we as humans can be. Yet how God created us to have the ability to be extremely compassionate. My friends to care and love is a choice.
I hope the things I blog about though they are about my life and my views I pray that they will touch a soul to embrace the goodness that we all have in us.
Please today call a friend you have not spoke to in a while. Maybe you are not close or have not talked to a family member in a while. Just reach out and let them know you thought about them. What about the friend or co worker that had a death in the family a last month or even last year the holidays are coming and it will be hard for some. Ya know someone is going through right now. Please pick up the phone and say hello I was thinking of you. Trust me you can make a difference.

A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,
A song is no song 'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn’t put there to stay -
Love isn’t love
'Til you give it away.

Blessing to you all -MJ your FitChik4Life

Workout Therapy

Today I was off mostly, only two clients. It's been raining the majority of the week so today was a kinda cool, stay in the bed, drink hot chocolate and watch a movie kinda day ya know. But its Friday and I figured there will be no one in the gym so I am going to get some therapy time in just me, my body and some iron. OOOOOHHHHH this is gonna be an awesome workout I can feel it.

So I was talking with a friend and said I'm going to get a workout in she said dang MJ take a break. But she doesn't understand that this week was crazy and my workouts have suffered. When my workouts suffer, my therapy time suffers, because for me it's a mental relief as well as physical. So I replied, girl this is my dang break.

Peace out friends I am going to lift.

New beginnings!

Today is a new day. It is 7:13am and it's cool outside and my mind is thinking wow! many did not live to see October 14, 7:13am but I did. So I wake up with this thought which I repeat to myself often.

I can change nothing about yesterday, but I can surely ruin today by worrying about tomorrow.

With that said I will rejoice in today for I know that God has my tomorrow already worked out. May God bless each of you today with peace and joy.


Remember to train hard, eat well and often always love the body your building

Conversations with my Father

The God I serve is so awesome. He is the perfect parent. He knows how strong I am and understands when I can't stand. I feel him lift me up so many times when it did not feel as if I could move forward. Daily he reminds me that I should fear nothing because He is with me. I have learned not to dwell or tell him about my difficulties just talk to him, he already knows what's going on but he wants me to focus on him and not the situation. Often times life gets so crazy, busy and I feel overwhelmed with the daily commitments but taken the time to just converse with him on my drive to and from. The quiet conversation of praise I give him in the shower. The hardest part of my cardio when I want to just stop I close my eyes and he appears to get me through. WOW what an awesome God.

Those that know me know I love to talk and God gives me these reasons because lately I find all I want to do is praise him over and over and over. As I am going through my trials, my injuries and life just happening I can't do anything but PRAISE HIM!!! Sorry guys but I am just so full right now. I am telling those that are going through something right now, to speak to that mountain and command it to move. What ever that mountain is speak to it, in Jesus name. It maybe fears of failing, well move that fear. It maybe finances, then speak life into your wallet. It could be you health, rebuke that sickness and speak healing. Just a little faith will move the largest mountain. Maybe that mountain ain't moving and Gods plan is to take you up it. Well get ready to climb just know he will not leave you, nor will he let go, but you must hold on his hand will not change. Don't beg him just praise him. He will carry you. How do I know? Well my friends he is carrying me right now.
Thank you Lord for your daily teachings. You are so merciful. Hallelujah!!!

In my talk with God through out today he kept whispering I hear you, I hear you MJ. I finally said I hear you too and a calm overcame like never before.

Blessings to you all tonight-
