Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints...." Ephesians 6:10-18
The little cowboy is memorizing Ephesians and the Armor of God for his second grade class at Chanute Christian Academy. As you know our house is always creative & fun. We make up songs to sing & play on the guitar, we create plays to act out,
and movie night is a whole other story.
The photo above was taken this morning as we recited the verses above for Friday's bible memory at school. The little cowboy decided to dig this out of his closet to inspire him as he recited the bible memory verses one last time before Papa picked him up to head to school.
Thank you for allowing him to be the guest DJ for our warm up session this week prior to exercise. One Meltdown participant in particular kept his attention and I want to fill you in on the conversation in the car last night as we drove home from our Turbo Jam session at the FireEscape Coffee House.
**SPECIAL THANKS TO CORRIE LAWRENCE FOR HER HELP IN SETTING THINGS UP LAST NIGHT AND GETTING EVERYTHING READY FOR OUR OUR TURBO JAM SESSION! THANKS TO FIREESCAPE FOR ALLOWING US THE USE OF THEIR ROOM, SCREEN, AND FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT
OF OUR MELTDOWN!
On the drive home the little cowboy said what a great time he had at the Meltdown classes this week. He said, "Mom, I am really proud of _______ because he was the only guy at all of the exercise classes and he didn't seem to mind that he was the only boy."
Then he went on to say,
"He must be a warrior, like the Romans, he is a man of great courage!"
I had to giggle as he said that last sentence because he was 100% right! It does take great courage to exercise with 25+ other women and be the only guy
PLUS he always has a smile on his face!
What a great role model and support our #1 guy is for his wife and for the rest of the Meltdown participants ~ here's to you!!
Weigh in today has been just as I thought ~ lots & lots of inches lost and a little bit on the scales. Remember that you are building muscle and because numbers were so great last week I expected to see a larger amount of inches lost . . . .BUT we still had some mega warriors who lost pounds & inches!
I always update you on my personal stats and this week I lost 3.1 pounds and 1 1/4 inches. I am very happy with that and I am now in a smaller size than I was last week! Thank you all for being wonderful cheerleaders and for complimenting each other on how wonderful everyone looks. We are having a great time getting healthier and the relationships we are building make the journey that more fun!
Have a great weekend ~ with love & appreciation, Stephanie
