Monday Menu Share and Self-Pity

Happy Monday "losers"! I had an amazing weekend and I hope you all did too!! My sister, brother-in-law and 3 year old nephew came up from Evansville to spend the weekend with us. We had such a nice time visiting!!!

As I was reading my "Jesus Calling" devotion yesterday, I knew I had to share it with you all today. It was like Jesus was talking directly to me with the mental struggles I have had lately.

Be on guard against the pit of self-pity. When you are weary or unwell, this demonic trap is the greatest danger you face. Don't even go near the edge of the pit. Its edges crumble easily, and before you know it, you are on the way down. It is ever so much harder to get out of the pit than to keep a safe distance from it. That is why I tell you to be on guard.

There are several ways to protect yourself from self-pity. When you are occupied with praising and thanking Me, it is impossible to feel sorry for yourself. Also, the closer you live to Me, the more distance there is between you and the pit. Live in the Light if My Presence by fixing your eyes on Me. Then you will be able to run with endurance the race that is set before you, without stumbling or falling.

No matter what is happening in our lives, we can fix our eyes on Him and He will see you through! What a promise!!!

Here is my workout from this morning! I actually used my Polar for the first time!!
