Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. NKJV
Well, I really didn't know if kettlebelling was working, but today it paid off BIG! I did some necessary plumping work and replaced the kitchen faucet. All the men in the house were not available so that required me to have to do it to help them out. So, I put on my work clothes and got busy. First I had to wedge myself into a very small place under the kitchen sink, on my back. First amazing feat; I was able to get under the sink! Next amazing feat; I had to use my tones up muscles to hold up my arms for a long period of time and twist off some old rusted out fittings. AMAZINGLY, I did it! I got the fittings to turn and my arms did it without getting fatigued. GRRRR. Last amazing feat; I had to hold up my butt off the floor, about six inches, to straighten my back. I did this for about 10 minutes and I didn't even feel a burn in my legs. OMG!
I am still reeling from knowing that my smaller, more fit body was able to squeeze under the sink!" This is such a milestone and surprise. I am smaller! Shocker. I put myself in a tight place and found it to be...not so tight. Also, my leg and arm muscles performed in an extraordinarily well. Exercising has paid off!
Not only did I do plumbing repair, I also baked cookies, homemade rolls and two loaves of homemade bread! My energy and stamina are WAY UP THERE! I like this feeling. Go me!
Tomorrow, I'm going to exercise with more robust enthusiasm. *Grinning*.
I have to say that if I had not began to go deeper with God and renew my relationship with the Lord and go deeper in my Bible study, over a year ago, I would not be blogging now about these amazing things! Truly, waiting (twisting or binding together) on the Lord has renewed my strength.
Menu:
Biscuit topped with fruit and a cup of coffee (6:30 a.m.) I ate with my daughter before she left for work and my husband who was volunteering at church running camera. I went to bed after they left and slept until 10 a.m. :D
A few left over Cajun fries.
Left over chicken tenders.
Sugar Free pudding cup and some sugar free hot cocoa.
THIS WAS NOT A GREAT DAY FOR EATING WELL BALANCED! What I did eat, I only ate a very small amount!
When I got home from running a camera at Church I found Dianna under the sink putting in that new faucet! I have to tell you, she looked good!!! :-)
