Chasing God Poem by Veca

Chasing God by Veca


Lord, It's me and I am chasing after you

Wherever you go, it's me

following

tagging after

stepping in your shadow

My legs may be fat

My breathing all out of whack

I may even be a lil old

but whatever I have to do

I am chasing

running

even slow jogging- after you

I know you have to go the distance

to reach all of mankind

even those like me-others don't recognize

because we are not so haughty or even high minded

looking unchurched but somehow connected

sometimes in the most un-godly places

but I am chasing after you

running after you -- as fast as I can

following

tagging after

stepping in your shadow

to reach a world shattered by false religions

and stereotypical alibis of what is and what isn't You

Please slow down, Lord

I am chasing after your heart

your will

be done in earth as it is in heaven

even in this place that others think is so not you

I am chasing, running with all my strength~even all my might

to dwell in the secret place of the Most High

forsaking Me for thee

my flesh, desire, temptation

not my will but your will be done

in this place that seems too much for me to bare

I run-- I follow~tagging after

chasing where I end and begin--

I am in the shadow of the Almighty.

Exercise-Love it or Hate it?


BBOF-Building Blocks of Fitness a yahoo group of fitness folks trying (hard as it is) to get right and stay right in health, exercise & nutrition.
-----------------------------------------------------------------


What are your thoughts about exercise? Do you love it or hate it?


VeeVeca's Thoughts on Exercise.... Honestly, I wish I had the body that didn't require extensive exercise or training. If only, I had the genes or hormones of the Bod Gods! Flat in all the right places and perkey in all the other great areas. What a life that would be to never ever... ever have to worry about a dip, a roll, a bulge, or the nemesis-- the scale!


But for the bulge in my middle and the extra servings here and there, I have some challenges before me. But at least....I am blessed to have the mobility to exercise. Because quite honestly it really could be far worse. So I drag myself (literally drag) onto my elllipitical a few times each week, sometimes only for a few minutes at a time and at other times I go in for a full 20 minute program. Aurah!!!


Either way, life is about being healthy and that comes one day-one exercise moment at a time. And never forget-- eating right is the right thing to do. Spluringing should be a limited treat. To splurge once a week or once a month, should be a happy time. However, be careful that you are not living in the splurge of bad eating and choosing to have limited times of good healthy eating.
