"Move"
I'm not about to give up
Because I heard you say
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days
I wont stop, Ill keep my head up
No, I'm not here to stay
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days
I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face
[Chorus]
When life wont play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I cant seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I wont let it drag me down
Oh, I'll keep dancing anyway
I'm gonna move (move)
I'm gonna move (move)
I'm gonna move
Ive got to hold 'er steady
Keep my head in the cage
Everything is about to change
Everything is about to change
This hurt is getting heavy
But I'm not about to cave
Everything's about to change
There's gonna be brighter days
I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face
[Chorus]
No matter what may come
Gotta move to a different drum
No matter what life brings
Gotta move gotta move to a different beat [x2]
I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face
My long Wednesday is over for the most part, 9:40pm and just got home from leaving at 7:30a.m. this morning. School was rough, got a whole new project due on Monday with 5 new things to read, pick 3 of those topics and write a thesis statement. Have a huge research project that will be due the following week. I thought I could do this whole school thing and realized too quickly that as much as I like to think I am...I'm NOT superwoman. It has humbled me. It has also made me start to realize some things about my life right now. I've realized my passion is not all about work and improving my education related to work. I have a few passions right now....helping people, my health, my family, and God. I heard one of my fav songs on the way home from school tonight..as always...just when I need it. Move, by Mercy Me. I realized this is what I want to do..and do for people...literally and figuratively. I want to move people. I want to make them move physically and spiritually. God has moved me so much and I would love to have others experience the same thing. It was about a year ago I reached my breaking point. My weight had plummeted to the highest it has ever been. My whole body hurt...230 pounds puts a lot of pressure on your joints! I had 2 injections in my back and they didn't do a thing. I was about to give up when I asked God to help me with my health...I needed Him...there was no way I was going to be able to do this on my own. I actually sent a prayer request to Joyce Meyer ministries...asked my Bible study girls to pray for me..and started my journey. I had a lot of nausea and stomach problems and was surprised that even through the holidays I had lost 10lbs. Even though I didn't feel good going through that, it was the kick start that I needed. I figured..10lbs down without trying...why would I want that back. In February I started working out on a regular basis, I got an air climber and used dvd's...lots of Jillian Michaels. Early spring I read an article in a fitness edition of the magazine All You, about running a 5k race. The pictures they had posted with it were of average looking women...not stick thin models. I kept reading this article over and over again. I finally talked to the one Dr. I work with who does marathon runs. He agreed..what the heck was I waiting for. Early June, my 13 week training started to run my first 5k. Late spring I discovered a facebook page about Spartan Race events, a mud obstace race. It quickly became my new obsession and next HUGE goal. I ran my first 5k Sept 17 and my second one will be run this Sat. I'm moving..I'm moving in the right direction, physically and spiritually. It totally amazes me what God can do when we just ask. It doesn't matter how big or small the request. He's there along for the journey. My passion right now is trying to get others to move....physically and spiritually. I want others to experience the greatness that I have. I have now lost 50 lbs and have a new found appreciation for fitness and health. I realize that I'm the only one that can truely take care of this sacred shell that God has provided me to do His work. I want to share my testimony with other women who struggle with weight issues, insecurities, history of verbal and physical abuse, and the total mind-set of "I can't". I want to make them MOVE and move into a woman who will say "I CAN".
