Spiritual and physical health are mine. I feed my relational health like crazy as well as my intellectual health. But my spiritual and physical are suffering under the pressure to spend more time task managing and getting things done. I’m making changes…

well Derek is a huge influence in my life as a close friend and my pastor. he’s inspiring me to take better care of myself in all ways, but more importantly in the physical and spiritual ways.

Derek’s my biggest encourager when it comes to my half marathon training. heck, he ran my first 5k right by my side, cheering me on the entire way.

CCB challenges me like never before in the spiritual realm. being a Dad will do that to you as well. i’m trying to learn more, experience more and connect with God in ways i never have before.

What Derek said about the heart, soul, mind & strength. For years I have seen my weakness in loving God with all my strength which I have equated to my body. Over time I have tried to improve–quitting smoking(13 yrs ago this month); decaffeinating; eating habits etc. So now it needs to get kicked up a notch to really be a body of worship. I like Steve’s quarterly system.

Funny you bring this up… I am working on all those areas this year (and probably always will!). I decided to tackle one area each quarter. This quarter is physical. Gotta get rid of this ragamuffin top!!!

Physical health. I find it very hard to work out and eat right when I am delivering kids to games, etc after working 10 hours. They its home to eat a half carton of Blue Bell strawberry…

Relational health – working hard with our counselor, husband, friends, on why I’m so danged DEFENSIVE (sensitive??), even though I try hide it as much as I can.

Intellectual. Honestly I don’t spend enough time in the Word, and if someone comes to me with a question or for help, it shows.

I am not slow to speak. I am a reactionary. I need to get that inline with Jesus. Also, I am really struggling with White Suburban Teens. I really cant stand them and I know I need to love them. It’s just hard. SO, I have LOTS that needs work. God help me.

My big struggle right now is balancing time between family, ministry, friends and my day job. The “free time watching tv” part of the post got to me. I could use improvement in all areas, but I spend WAY too much free time on things that aren’t that important. We all need a release of some sorts, I guess. But where’s the line?

Figuring it out….

I think if I’m honest I could do better in all areas. But someone mentioned emotional health above in the comments (AJ). That’s the big one for me. That would be the one I need to work on the most for sure! Allowing God to lead and conquer depression/anxiety/need for attention/approval/and all that. Yep.
