The Work Out: Spotter
This is a biggie. Never go to the gym alone, you need to have a spotter. A spotter is someone who knows your boundaries, they are strong enough to help you when you get in too deep and they are the ones who push you when you want to give up. A good spotter will also correct you when you are lifting wrong or endangering yourself. As Christians these people are sometimes called accountability partners. In my opinion every single believer should have one person who holds them accountable, grows with them and helps them preserver in tough times. At the gym you can really get yourself into trouble trying to push more weight than you can handle. But with a spotter, they can help you get the weight back up and keep you safe. After a while you will be able to handle that amount of weight as the new norm! After that you can try even more weight…as long as your spotter 'got your six' (thats "has your back" for those of you who arnt too gangster)!
P.S. don’t forget to “spot your spotter” they need it as much as you do! This is a 2 way street.

another cool Discovery moment
I love being a part of a moving church...no we are not changing locations but we are moving! We went out this morning to help Dr. David Jeremiah with a new ministry that is focused on getting the church outside & actively meeting people’s needs. They had a pastor’s breakfast today and then unloaded a semi truck full of food & stuff to pass out to the needy. We were called in to help unload the truck & load up the pastors cars. We believe we were called to help because they saw our website and know that this is the stuff we do. So we did, not only that but we got 4 pallets of stuff from them to distribute and bless people with. God is awesome!
For my blaug readers you get the pics first but tomorrow I will get them on the website.

The Work Out: Consistency Pays
On to part 3 of “The Work Out” – “The routine”
Ok, we have the diet and the desire. Now we just need the routine. Like our bodies, if we are not constantly working out we see little to no productivity or growth. You see anyone can go to the gym once and a while to do a crazy hard workout but if they don’t do it regularly, they will see little results. It’s the same with many areas of our Christian walk. If we only read the bible, (attend church, pray or do devotions) once every now-n-then; 1) we limit the amount of Gods word in our lives, 2) we forget what we have read or learned and 3) we distance ourselves from God will. A devotion a day will keep the sin away…not really but it will focus your day on God over self. So for the best results practice your spiritual disciplines DAILY!
Side bar, p.s., rabbit trail or whatever you want to call it: What’s with the “only 10 minutes a day for 30 days” crap I keep hearing? These people want us to think that losing weight and getting in shape is easy and fast!!! LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING; it took years of eating junk and sitting in front of TV’s for us to get this fat and out of shape, what on earth makes you think you can clean up your act in any less time? There has to be a self-sacrifice. You have to take in the good stuff and you have to GET UP and do things! Humm, let me think…you could take in Gods word and you could do something like serve or bless someone and don’t forget; Consistency will yield the best results!

The Work Out: Diet First
Ok part two of “The Work Out” – “the diet”
I am amazed at what these people do to get into shape and stay in shape. Although good cardio and weight training is important the biggest part of it is diet. What you put into your body has more effect than what you do with your body. Although I believe this, it is still the hardest part. In both our physical and spiritual lives, the above is true. We constantly crave the stuff that’s not beneficial and sometimes just plain bad for us. Our spirit needs good nutrients. We can get this from Gods word, Prayer and Fellowship. Instead we feast on TV, secular music and worldly friends. These things clog our spirit up with fat that makes it hard for us to do the things God has in store for us. Sure we make an effort but come up short breathed and out of shape. So before we go any farther into this mini series, let’s start off with the Godly Diet. Remember: what goes in…is what comes out!
