Protection from Worry

Protection from Worry

We can enjoy protection from worry, even though every day is a new day with new opportunities to fall prey to the plans of the enemy. Since God’s Word tells us not to worry; days without worry must be possible, maybe even weeks, months? This journey of learning to sidestep worry is one I am on with progress, I am grateful to say. The following are some things that have helped me tremendously in past days and years.

Fabufit Component of Being Free from Worry

Replacing worry with Trust from our never-failing Heavenly Father is a component of the Fabufit Journey toward Fabulous Fitness, Abundant Health, and Increased Happiness.

Fill Your Mind with Hope and Encouragement

My favorite source of hope and encouragement is early morning time reading God’s Word and praying. I love finding scripture promises I can write down and think on for the day. During this designated time block first thing in the morning, I also plan the day and read other inspiring things in my remaining time allotted. Right now I am slowly…….. going through a book by Kenneth S. Wuest: Word Studies in the Greek New Testament. It is a treasure house of gold as Wuest goes back to the Protectranslation of words and meanings as they were in original Greek. He says,” The Greek New Testament is waiting like a Virgin forest to be explored.”

Keith Moore of MooreLife Ministries has a free teaching series called “Take No Thought.”. It is wonderful for building faith in this area.

Find Faith, Prayer, Hope scriptures in abundance to strengthen you

Another short source of inspiration is a little daily devotional book called Jesus is Calling. This takes only a few minutes to read but many times contains such a thought to remember. Today’s reading was about Trust and Thankfulness:

Trust and Thankfulness

“Trust and thankfulness will get you safely through this day. Thankfulness keeps you from criticizing and complaining, those “sister sins” that so easily entangle you.” Trust protects you from worry and obsessing.

” Keeping your eyes on Me is the same as trusting Me. (Referring to our Lord) It is a free choice we must make thousands of times daily. The more you trust Me, the easier it becomes.” – Sarah Young, Jesus Calling

Cast all of your cares on Him because He cares for you.

– I Peter 5:7

In FABUFIT we like to daily think on our Gratitudes. This is such a good habit to develop. Friday I will send a simple recipe to cultivate happiness. Have you taken some time to think on your Graitudes for the past year?

Do You Want Lasting Change?

Do You Want Lasting Change?

Do you want a temporary solution to your health and fitness, or do you want lasting change for a lifetime? I decided many decades ago that weekly diets and daily worry about my weight was not something I cared for anymore. I got rid of the scales (my enemy) and refused to let them dictate my joy or sadness anymore. Little by little I learned some very important secrets of success in the journey to fitness and health.

Let’s Begin

All lasting change requires:

A Decision

A New Mindset

Renewed Thoughts

Words in line with God’s Words

New Routines

Creating Life or Death

Since life and death are in the power of the tongue, let’s begin to create life. We can do that by renewing our mind and training our body to declare words of victory. Of course, there is more to the journey, but this is a wonderful first few baby steps.

“Just the thought of my excellent free flowing
memory enables me to focus, pay attention, and
remember clearly every detail I need.”

“I have plenty of time and focused energy to
accomplish all God has called me to do. It is
just like me.”

Health Declarations

Because of the power in our words when they line up with God’s Word, John and I daily declare scriptures over our own health and fitness. Faith will be built in your heart as you do this yourself.

The Story of the Miraculous Chinese Bamboo Tree

The Story of the Miraculous Chinese Bamboo Tree

The story of the miraculous Chinese Bamboo Tree has encouraged our Fabufit team members for many years. This story is filled with valuable life lessons. More often than not, success in any life endeavor takes time. Because it may take so much time. many quit just before the breakthrough. And this can be especially true with weight/inch loss goals and fitness.

Encouragement is needed by everyone. And a miracle has tremendous power for encouragement. The story of the Chinese Bamboo Tree is a story of such a miracle. Wanting to learn more about this story, I searched the internet. I found a blog site and video by Matt Morris (https://www.mattmorris.com/how-success-is-like-a-chinese-bamboo-tree/). Because of the priceless insight revealed in the details of this story, I think you will be inspired and encouraged as I was. Thank you, Matt Morris.

Time is Needed to Change Your Weight SetPoint

It is easy to miss some of the most important principles in weight loss. For instance, when one begins on a path of losing inches and pounds, it takes time for the SetPoint to change.

Prevention describes the weight “Set Point ” as the weight at which your body likes to be and at which your body can stay with little effort. For example, if you use a scale, (which I don’t anymore), it would be the number on the scale that your weight normally hovers around and doesn’t much like to budge from. If you use the tape measure, it would be the numbers on the tape measure where your body is quite happy to stay. Because changing your set point requires patience and consistency, we need to first know that it can be done. As a result, this will bring you confidence and encouragement. And the even better news is that once it is lowered to a new SetPoint, it wants to stay at this new lower number. Praise the Lord for this thought to think on.

Several years ago I posted two articles on “Changing Your Setpoint”. You can find out more at the links below:

All is Well August

All is Well August

The Shunammite’s Son

This story in 2 Kings 4:18-37 has always been special to me. She is a shining example of faith and persistence. Her son had died. She held fast to her confession that “all is well”. She got to the man of God and she persisted until he came to her house and raised the boy from the dead. As I read the story, I think of how easy it would have been for her to say anything but….”all is well”, of how easy it would have been to have just given up and seen the impossible, and of what persistence and courage it took to ride the long ride and find the prophet and refuse to leave until he came with her. Oh my goodness, what an example this woman is to us.

All is Well

So many times in our own lives it does not look at all like “all is well.” It certainly takes looking with the eye of faith to maintain hope and courage.

We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the Word of Our Testimony. I have heard it said that HOPE is the golden cord connecting us to heaven. HOPE is the anchor of our soul the Bible tells us.

I am naming my month “All is Well” August. Not everything looks like it is, but God is working behind the scenes for you and for me. He will never leave us or forsake us.

Our joys are rich as we celebrate family birthdays again this month. It seems like the majority of our family has a summer July or August birthday. I’m so grateful for these celebrations.

I love the practice of daily listing gratitudes. This keeps our heart soaring with hope and appreciation and fulfills the command to think on things good and pure and lovely and of a good report. I think we will all be quite surprised when we arrive in heaven and realize how the circumstances of our life were so greatly ordered by our thoughts and our words. God has given us such a part to play in our own path of life.

Proverbs 4:18 Good News Translation
The road the righteous travel is like the sunrise, getting brighter and brighter until daylight has come.

Summer is Quickly Ending

To me, summer always seems short. This one has too. Three grandsons soon leave for college and one granddaughter enters Kindergarten. John and I will have our traditional back to school dinner at a special restaurant in a couple of weeks for our five oldest grans. This will be our third year to do this. It is an investment that brings treasured memories.

I encourage you to stir up your hopes for this month and declare that “All is Well August” has arrived. Let’s remember that HOPE is a wonderful anchor for our soul: our mind, will and emotions. It is a golden cord connecting us to the glory of heaven.

Happy New Year

January 1, 2018 by Dani Leave a Comment

It is a joyful time to begin a brand new year. God’s mercies are new every morning. I’m looking forward to 365 new mercies. The past few days have been focused on new plans, new commitments, and new expectations. And ,yes, once again I changed dayplanners to give me a jolt for newness I guess you might say. This year I selected a one page per day At A Glance binder that I found at Office Depot. The year’s days are all bound in one binder so I don’t have to go find new pages to change out each month. So hopefully, this will help me be more organized. Our niece, Shea, gave me a new devotional book called Jesus is Calling by Sarah Young. Let me share just a little of this with you today as it has encouraged me greatly:

JESUS IS CALLING

January 1 Come to Me with a teachable spirit, eager to be changed. A close walk with Me is a life of continual newness. Do not cling to old ways as you step into a new year. Instead seek My face with an open mind, knowing that your journey with Me involves being transformed by the renewing of your mind. . As you focus your thoughts on me, be aware that I’m fully attentive to you. I see you with a steady eye because My attention span is infinite. I know and understand you completely; my thoughts embrace you in everlasting love. I also know the plans I have for you: plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ……” – Sarah Young

As I thought of a name for my month, I began to think again on all of the wonderful treasures God has for us through His word. I decided to use the one I loved last January: “Jeweled January”. Jewels are precious, they sparkle with excitement. This is how I want my days to be.

Choosing to Smile

In my daily Bible reading I ended the year yesterday with Proverbs 31. It is so very beautiful as it describes the attitude and expectancy of this Proverb ideal woman. One translation says, “she smiles at the future.” Another says, “she laughs at the future.”

Inspiring Ourselves to Laugh and Smile

The past several years I began listing my Top Ten Gratitudes for the previous year. Mine are listed with wonderful memories attached. Another inspiring thing to do is to list the Top Ten Desires of Your Heart for 2017 as I suggested last year, and then set some goals to accompany these desires. Watch for mine, which I will share in the January posts.

Psalms 37:4,5 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give

you the desires and secret petitions of your heart. Commit your

way to the Lord – roll and repose (each care of) your load on Him;

trust (lean on, rely on and be confident) also in Him,

and He will bring it to pass.

Plans on the Drawing Board for Team Fabulous

Several courses are on the drawing board for the coming year. Each course encompasses the Circle of Fitness and Health: Spirit, soul and body and focuses on becoming transformed by the renewing of our mind. We take baby steps to accomplish big goals. All Team Fabulous Members receive each Fabufit Class taught as a gift. All classes are taught via Teleconference Call, and are also archived in our confidential Team Fabulous section of fabulouslyfit.com for makeup or review.

Watch for a post about a free class about January 22nd that will offer you a chance to preview via teleconference call the very first Team Fabulous training of 2017.

Team Fabulous

God bless you with new motivation and new mercies every day of 2018, and two blessings for every trouble.
