Weekly Work-Outs: New Year Shenanigans!

2019 is off to a great start for Troy and I! We celebrated one month of marriage January 1st, planted a tree and we've gotten to spend a lot of time together! Some of you reading this may be experiencing the same as me, having not worked since the day after Christmas due to the government shut down. This can be scary and frustrating. I've been blessed with little opportunities and support from Troy during this; but a few days I've felt lazy and anxious, not sure what to do with this extra time. Little work-outs have always helped me mentally, so I want to share a few. Just 15 minutes of sweating helps me feel more positive, focused and productive.

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace. What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man." Ecclesiastes 3:1-13

Keep moving, pray, stay positive and God bless!
