Today we begin our journey to health one day at a time, one habit at a time! You will be shocked at what a difference it makes in our health, our energy, and our attitudes when we develop healthy habits! I am excited for this new addition to the daily prayer challenge! Let’s take it all one step at a time to improve our lives!
Taken directly from MyPyramid.gov:
“You may be eating plenty of food, but not eating the right foods that give your body the nutrients you need to be healthy. You may not be getting enough physical activity to stay fit and burn those extra calories. This is a starting point for finding your way to a healthier you.
Eating right and being physically active aren’t just a “diet” or a “program”—they are keys to a healthy lifestyle. With healthful habits, you may reduce your risk of many chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and certain cancers, and increase your chances for a longer life.”
This is what we have to look forward to!

Today’s challenge: WATER! 60% of our body weight is water. It is vital to the healthy functioning of our bodies. We must be proactive in giving our bodies water on a daily basis. Thirst lags behind our body’s need for water. The average women needs about 2.7L of water a day (anywhere from 8-12 cups). How many opportunities a day can we replace what we drink with water? Your challenge today is to start your day with water and continue on throughout the day! I will tell you, those who are trying to loose a few pounds will do so in a healthy way (and save $$ on those drinks) just by replacing many of our drinks with water! You will find yourself at first running to the bathroom more at the beginning. See that as toxins leaving your body! Drink up!!

For both women and wives our prayer challenge is the same!
DAY 1 PRAYER:
Lord, let the words of Philemon penetrate our hearts! Let this small book impact each of us like never before! May we find new life, new hope and new direction in the next 30 days, AMEN
DAY 1 CHALLENGE:
Philemon: a very small book with more than a very small message! Philemon is written by the Apostle Paul as he was imprisoned in Rome to Philemon, a wealthy slave owner to forgive Onesimus, his run away slave, and warmly accept him back as a Christian brother. It’s an incredible story of grace and forgiveness and I think we can all use a little of that! We can each related in some period of our life to each of the characters in this book! Today, I want us to read Philemon, yes the entire book (ok, it’s only 1 chapter with 25 verses!). Read it with characters described to get the overall feel of the book and we will tear this book apart one verse at a time and learn much about ourselves, our Lord, and our relationship with others in a whole new way!
