Fearless

Woke up feeling FEARLESS!  Nothing and no one is going to steal my joy.  Does that mean that everything is peachy?  NO!!  I have my challenges that I face daily but I chose to see the goodness in it all and keep pushing forward.  When I am in my prayer closet I give all my worries, anxieties and fears to the Lord.  He's the one that is able to help me.  He will guide me.  

Last night in yoga I was FEARLESS!  In class we practice handstands.  I was so EXCITED when my instructor told us we were going to do that.  But also knew I needed to humble myself and learn the correct form to avoid injury.  I struggled at first to get my legs up against the wall (it's harder than it looks) but with my fellow yogi's encouragement I was able to do it - AMEN!  I held the pose for a good 30 seconds, sweat dripping down and body shaking but I DID IT!   That's being fearless - being able to do something without the negative thinking control you.  Yoga to me is my time to relax, stretch my muscles and become stronger mentally.  I often get asked respectfully if I should be doing it because I am a Christian women because practicing yoga makes room for the enemy to come in.  But I respectfully disagree because I only worship one God - God Almighty, I pray daily and I can still be still in the Lord.   Part of praying in my opinion is quieting the mind and being still in the Lord.  And when I am in a pose such as Warrior 2 or Child Pose I am still.  

April is approaching and I ready to take my yoga to a new level - adding another class to my routine.  I really want to accomplish my handstand, want to become leaner and stronger mentally.  I'm thankful that I found an instructor who takes the time to perfect my form and is a sweetheart.   This is my journey and I am loving every part of it.  

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength - Mark 12:30
