This event is hosted by the Healthful Living Group, but anyone can participate! The challenge is to exercise for at least 30 mins a day for the month. We are all at different levels of health, so there's no specific program, but let's shoot for something at least moderately challenging. We can encourage each other and help each other with ideas for a stronger 2016!

I've been very lost for the last few months. . .medical problems both physical and mental, spiritual rut because I can't seem to accept that He loves me no matter what, also because my past failures have been brought up by various people and the pain is so strong still.

Praise God! Just like with how cutting edge network's were in the 90's, the Lord has blessed you, and trusted you with a network of His children way ahead of others. What an amazing blessing! Thank you Jesus.

Father, a positive attitude is one of the greatest spiritual gifts. Help me to remember: Praise! Praise! Praise!
Christian Iyoha
Today’s Scripture
“...The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the LORD is with you!... Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!...”
(Judges 6:12, 14, NLT)
Believe What God Says about You
There was a man in the Scripture named Gideon whom God wanted to lead the people of Israel against an opposing army. The angel appeared to him and said, “Hello, Gideon, you mighty man of fearless courage,” I can imagine Gideon looking around thinking, Who is he talking to? Gideon was afraid, intimidated, and insecure. But notice that God didn’t call him what he was. God called him what he could become. God sees your potential. God knows what you’re capable of. You may feel weak, but God calls you strong. You may be intimidated today, but God calls you confident. You may feel less than, but God calls you well able. If the Angel of the Lord were to appear to you today, He would say the same thing he said to Gideon. “Hello, you mighty man, you mighty woman of fearless courage.” Why don’t you get in agreement with God and start believing what He says about you?
A Prayer for Today
Father, thank You that You see my potential and know what I am capable of. Thank You that You have equipped and are empowering me to be strong where I feel weak and less than. I believe that You are transforming me into a mighty warrior. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Nell Neathery
God’s holiness does not change, but we’re now enabled, by the saving blood of Christ, to enter into God’s presence. He has broken down the barrier by his shed blood. Significantly, the curtain was torn “from top to bottom” (Mark 15:38). God has torn the curtain. He has made the way. Jesus has God making a way for us into the Father’s presence.
As you pray, thank Jesus for making a way for us into God’s presence.

John 3:17 is a much overlooked verse: “ For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. ” (John 3:17–18 WEB).

I am super proud of all of you who managed to complete this challenge and pray that you are better off today than you were a month ago <3. It was suggested by Dion and another member that since our health is an ongoing matter, that we continue working together on our fitness goals in March. That sounded good to me, so I am going to set up an event later today for those who are interested in participating . Thank you all for being part of the February Fitness Challenge, and God bless! less
Laura B. Martinez: Missed my Friday and Saturday workouts - I always give it a break on Sundays - because of an unexpected medical procedure. Hope to be at it again on Monday. Good job to all of you out there trying your best. That is what is most important, you are trying.

Very understandable, Laura, God bless <3!

Ross Jones: Hurt my knee at the polar plunge yesterday and the doc wants me to rest it for a few days so I am limited on what exercises I can do. Praying the pain subsides otherwise it could be a torn meniscus. One step forward, two steps back only make me stronger.
Sylvia Todd
Oh no, praying for you, brother <3! May He get you through this even stronger!

Dion Todd
Sorry to hear that Ross. May you recover quickly in the name of Jesus.

Amen Father, I pray you keep holding me until I have a complete healing from this medication. Amen <3 Father, I love you.

I pray you pull me threw and the bad feelings start to be less. Amen <3

Legs, arms, core etc. The challenges do not take long, 5-10 minutes or so. They are fun to do and you can see your progress from day one to day thirty. Also, most can be modified to fit anyone's fitness level. Example, if you are doing a push-up challenge and you cannot get on your toes to do them, do em on your knees and throw in one once in awhile on you toes, by the end of the challenge you would surprise yourself.

When we was walking out she said the worship group is here. She told us go listen to them. I always go listen to them after I see her. I felt like I was walking on a cloud, sunshine and God was all around me. I have not had that peace in along time. Jennie is going back to Florida Monday. She will be gone for another month. Then i'll have her from April up until after Christmas. She is 70 and has been a christian therapist all her life. We was talking about Bill Johnson. She travels for speeches at times. She knows him and she really likes him too. I told her about RHM and how i'm doing a little better on here. I talked about everyone. She told me keep it up it's good for me since i'm doing what I have too. She said it will keep my mind busy. She said no talking to my family for 1 year they're to toxic for me. My husband told her what happen this past summer was like a bomb went off. He said he was in shock too. He said I took it really bad. He said with all she has to get threw set me back and he thinks that not making it easy for what I have to do. We talked a lot and it was good. Amen <3 less

Sylvia Todd
That is an excellent tip, Laura! That is also a time where God may better be able to speak to you, without anyone else around to distract!
