Acronym for the day by yours truly:
TYTM - Tighten Your Tummy Muscles
We can strengthen our core muscles by doing this simple act
throughout the day. Every time we think of it, we can tighten and keep our
muscles tight until it becomes habit from the rising of the sun to its going
down. A suggestion as to how to set it in as a habit, tell a friend or a
co-worker and ask them to say "TYTM" (pronounced TIGHTUM) throughout
the day. It helps me. Keven reminds me and I remind others as well. No, I do
not go around as a TYTM Policeman...just gentle reminders to help encourage and
strengthen others core...
We need to do the same when it comes to following God's plan
for our lives, the examples of Jesus and the urging/promptings of Holy Spirit.
We can tighten our 'core' spiritual muscles, which will help us to be sturdy
and walk in His ways. We can put ourselves in line to be accountable to our
brothers/sisters in Christ or other friends, by simply letting them know we
want them to ask us questions that will challenge us in certain areas as well
as wanting them to love on us.
Some of the spiritual muscles we can tighten are:
- · Read a Bible passage/verse-then talk/write about what that means to you and share it with someone - I am always available(wink)
- · Pray
- · Journal
- · Talk to someone about Jesus
- · Listen/Learn from those who have walked their journey longer and stronger
- · Follow through with God's plans for today
- · Ask God to show us His plans for today
- · Give intentionally to someone today, whether it is a smile, a word of encouragement via Skype/Facebook/text/ twitter/etc., soda, gift, supper - be creative it doesn't have to involve money
- · Forgive yourself and others
- · Dream/plan for the week/month/year
Let’s take these few tools and place them in our toolbox for
today and every day, but we will have to remember to go to our toolbox, open it
and then take the tool out to use for the life experiences we have, oh yaaa…that…lol.
