Jesus Surfs Oct. 12, 2011

In our lives Jesus will call us to follow Him by faith and not by sight. But what He is really calling us to do is to "see" Him. He is working in your life, He is working in your family, He is working in your church, He is working in your community, He is working in your world. Jesus taught us that the Father is always working and He said that what He did in His work was about whatever He saw the Father doing. That's what we are called to do in following the example of Jesus. We "see" what God is doing and we join Him. That's the work that we are called to do. It's not what we do on our own, but it's the work the Holy Spirit does through us that is eternal. There's no possible way we can "surf" with Jesus by our own power. It's only by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is His power working through us that gives us the ability to make an eternal difference in the world. That's surfing with Jesus!

We will meditate on and practice Scriptural concepts from the Bible through exercise.   I will also share with you why I started WholyFit after finding that joining in with Yoga was not the best way to reach Yogis or to grow in my relationship with Christ.   Whol...

Jesus Surfs Oct 14, 2011

Many of us will get the place of accepting Jesus, but then we don't know what to do from there. Once we've come off that first realization, that first joy, we don't know what to do, but that's when the fun starts. He renews our mind and He starts to show us His heart... if we can "see" it.  Now we get back to surfing lessons: how to see God working in your life- how to see Jesus surfing and how to join that wave with Him. Using the analogy of surfing, the hard part is not standing up. The hard part is being in the right place at the right time, and being able to be in the right portion of the wave, working with the power of the wave. Obviously, there is no use trying to go against the power of the wave. Absolutely no use. Every time I try to surf (by the way, I'm terrible, I'm just learning,) no doubt I get creamed. I've learned to avoid the "back breaker" but I have not so far learned how to avoid being tumbled and held under water. ...
