·       Pray:
·       Read Jeremiah 29:11
·       What does that verse  say to you? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
·       Do you believe that God wants something MORE for you and your live? ___________________________________
·       Do you want something more for your life? _____________________
·       Why are you coming to this class? ______________________
·       Healthier lifestyle? ________________________________________
·         Lose weight?  _______________________
·       Are you planning to exercise? ____________________
·       What other changes do you need to make in your life? _______
·       If you were called by God right now, to ... let’s say.....go on a mission trip to Africa....could you do it?  I mean physically?  Mentally?  Financially? We are talking about money or being able to get off work, but also, could  you do all the walking, lifting, bending, heat, and work it is required of you to go to Africa?  ___________________________
Your body and your mind would have to be Restored to do this trip, I am sure.
·       Read John 10:10
·         What does that verse tell you? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
·       What does abundant mean to you? ___________________________
·       What does overflowing mean to you? __________________________
·       I mean we are not just talking about money, that scripture does not say that Jesus came to give you abundant money, it says that Jesus came to give us an abundant life or a life overflowing.  Is your life overflowing today? __________________________________
·       What would be an overflowing life to you? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
·       Do you have any life goals?  Not for your family, for YOU!!  _______________
·       What are they?  _______________________________________
·       Remember, in the previous verse the Bible tells us to dream big because God has even bigger dreams for you than even you can dream of.  Dream big!!  Set your goals BIG!  Think of this as a life time, not a summertime thing.
Be Restored to the fun loving person you once were!
Are you JOYFUL?  Is there any reason for you to be Joyful in your life today? _______________________

What is the difference between joyful and happy? ______________________________________________________________________

·       Read Isaiah 61:1-4.
·       Isaiah is talking to the captive Children of God, are you a child of God?  Are you being held captive in a life, a body, an attitude that you do not want any part of any longer? __________
·       Verse 4 tells us what is going to happen to the ancient ruins (I feel pretty ancient sometimes, don’t you?  And I feel like I am ruined); places long devastated (how long have you been devastated, depressed, hurting, joyless?); this journey is not just about our lives but about our grandparents as well as our grandchildren! (devastated for generations!!!).  What is it? 1.____________________________________________________________________2.____________________________________________________________________3.___________________________________________________________________
·       Do you feel ancient at times? ________ Do you like your body right now? __________ Do you like who you are right now? _______ Do you like where you are going right now in your life?  __________  Wouldn’t be great to be rebuilt???????? ______________________ You bet!!!  God wants that for you!
·       What did you look like at twenty?  Well, I can’t promise that you will look like a twenty year old, but when we begin to Rebuild our body and our lives, our soul will become RESTORED.  Your mind , body and soul will begin to fill up with all the promises that God has instore for you and you will begin to believe that God wants good, the best, wonderful things for you in your life, and that my friend is not sitting on the couch eating chips and not exercising.  Exercise, gets out toxins, clears your mind, makes you feel....RESTORED!
·       Are you brokenhearted?  Are you tried of being tried?  Do you wish you could get a do-over?  Guess what????  You can!!!!  Jesus came to RENEW our soul, and when we RENEW our soul, our mind, and body will follow!


·       Surround yourself with positive people.
·       Don’t let the people who say negative things inside your head.
·       You are worthy of this, you can do it, and you deserve to do it.




You have to schedule time for you!!!!  Do not cut it out.

OH MY STARS....We love Jane Holifield!!

Oh my stars…… The Rebuild Renew & Restore Women’s Group met last night and what a treat we received!! We decided we wanted to start each meeting out with 15 minutes of exercise, which Darlene and I did, we worked our arms, legs and abs.  After the brief exercise class we loaded in Darlene’s car and drove across town to meet with one of the most remarkable women I have ever known, Jane Holifield. Jane knew we were coming, and I told her NO EATS and NO DRINKS! We just worked out!! I had asked Jane to prepare a short devotion, scripture, or a story in order for us to get to know her a little better. Jane told us about a women she had just read about in her Mature Living from Lifeway, Aileen Coleman, the Desert Rat to the Arab World. It was so nice to listen to the excitement in her voice as she told us all about Aileen Coleman and how she never married, how she worked in Bethlehem as a nurse and how God used her and all the decisions she made to glorify HIM.  Mrs. Jane was...

Here we go again and again and again and again......

Here we are, beginning another New Year.  This year I am going to be better, lose 15 pounds, read my Bible daily, plan our dinners and budget our money better than last year….OOOO that was last year! And the year before that and the year before that. Isn’t that how we all think?  If I could just lose some weight.  If I could just read my Bible every day.  If I could just plan our meals I would save money and lose weight!  If I could budget my money better I would be able to give to those special last minute offerings at church or help a family in need, BUT I purchased items that were on sale and I really didn’t need.  By the time I get up in the mornings at 5 am; drive to town to exercise with the girls at 5:30 for 30 to 45 minutes, drive back home, shower, have a cup of coffee, listen to the news, get back in my truck, drive back to town, go to the post office, then to the Gin office, drive to Kennett, go to that post office, go to two different banks to ...

Oh my stars…..I love always coming up with new ways to make our Children’s Church room, more inviting to the kiddos.   I am always writing notes and sending them home with the children, but I never really know if the parents get them…so, I decided to make a wall calendar.   I don’t know about you but I have been dying to use chalkboard paint!!!   When I decided to paint our class room the bright green I got the bright idea to make a wall calendar and with all the cool designs of duct tape out there now I could change the calendar during the year with all the cool duct tape.   Here is a picture of our wall calendar.   I put the monthly activities on the calendar and the children are welcomed to put their birthdays on the calendar too!   This year for Christmas we purchased “Jesus Calling” a devotional book for children and on the calendar for February I included the daily scripture from the devotional.   I don’t know about you but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT...
