Tomorrow It All Begins
Tomorrow June 3rd is my first day in the gym….
I had my ‘Last Supper’ of McDonald’s and soda. I have some munchies left over that I am gonna burn my way through. I am gonna invite friends over and let them kill the last of my munchies. in the next few days I am going to the grocery store and buying nothing but healthy. God has been faithful to provide good friends on Bodybuilding.com to point me toward the right articles and information. They have encouraged me and offered much useful advice. He has even hooked me up with an awesome personal trainer/consultant NickEdge! he is gonna be hooking me up with a personalized workout and diet routine to get me to my goals. I have a good friend who is willing to go back to the beginning and be my workout partner amd help me by spotting and advising and encouraging me in the gym!
All in all I am excited to begin my journey my bodybuilding goals! thanks everyone for your help and encouragement! and Praise God for all the way he is inspiring, providing for, and guiding this transformation! I am doing this to improve my appaeance, to maximize my health, and most of all to ‘glorify God in my body’ (Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians)
A speaker once said recently " men we are called ‘to glorify God in your body’ after the command of Scripture. Men, that is a very practical directive. God desires that the temple that is you would be adorned well. He is not glorified when you abuse your body with recreational drugs and alcohol in excess. When you live on fast food and TV dinners that is a kind of abuse (once in a while is ok all the time is not) men you know what heatlhy eating and living looks like why don’t you?… If you want your words and deeds as a Christian to agree then as you believe that your body is a temple then follow it up with deeds.
Get rid of your flabby beer belly and your drive thru lifestyle and instead practically build your bodily temple in the gym and with wise healthy choices. Simply put God God is not by your beer gut, He is greatly glorified by you having a six pack set of abs..
Wait isn’t that vanity you ask? vanity is seeking a thing to make it your god. But if you do a thing or seek a thing BECAUSE OF God, that is not vanity but glorification of the True God….. Yup you heard me men . God wants you to have a six pack. go get it!"
This talk got me beginning to desire a better body. I have always wanted to be in incredible shape but lacked the motivation. Hearing this talk handed me that motivation. The highest motivation posasible at that to be in incredible shpe because such shape glorifies God because it concretely says ‘ thank you’ For the gift of life He has given me.
That’s my motive and my plan! And off we go tomorrow….. laying the first foundation stones of this awesome temple of my body that God has given me.
BTW if anyone has a questions about Jesus/Christianity/Bible/faith wtc anything like this please e-mail me at doobzkhq@gmail.com. I have much to say about the greatest man I have ever met, Jesus. I promise you two things I will share my experience and the truth of Jesus clearly and simply. I will do this in love. I am a sinner saved by grace I escaped judgement through Jesus Christ and so I won’t put you under it by my words or attitude toward anyone who talks to me. I promise you that…… I don’t care what you have done or who you are I am eager to talk to you about any questions you have
