Fuel

With gas prices that have been through the roof all year, I have thought a lot about fuel. The cost it takes to fill up my V8, how many hours of work it takes to pay for that, and locations that have quality but cheap gas. Before I was married I would run my car down to the last drops before filling up. My husband has informed me that our car performs better and longer when filled with gas. That letting our vehicle get as low as it did actually wears the car out faster...hmmm never thought of it like that. 

I guess it’s the same in life too. If I take a week off from the gym it take 2-3 workouts to get back on track and receive that extra energy. When I go until 11ish to fuel my body with “food” (coffee is not a food group people) I don’t get the most out of my mornings. I have such a hard time getting momentum for the day going. When I let my spirit run dry, it regretfully encounters pain usually to get me back on track.  

Why is it hard to fuel up? Well just like gas, it will cost us something, and take a little time and effort. But there are benefits, just like my car, we will get more out of life if we are fueled up. I know that in order for something to stick I have to see the value in it.........  

*Quite time with the Creator of the universe= I am reminded of who I am in HIM, that I have a purpose, today matters, and it’s all about Jesus.

*Eating breakfast= Helps improve concentration and performance at work or classroom. It gives me strength and endurance for the gym or physical activity, and lowers cholesterol. 

*Exercise= Have you heard the expression “Use it or loose it?” Well it’s true. Exercise keeps us physically fit and reduces the risk of heart disease, cancer, and high blood pressure. It also improves our appearance and delays the aging process!

My goal for the rest of August is to make fueling a top priority. I hope you join me. xoxo Daniela
