Self-care Is Hard Work

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (MSG) Didn’t you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.

Self care is hard work!

Unlike many that align with the calendar year, our health insurance plan renews April 1st. I’m a thrifty New Englander and don’t take care of myself if it costs money. So when we met our deductible, the whistle blew to start the race for medical self-care before the 4/1 finish line. Ready, set, GO!

No worries! I’ve simply joined a gym and the medical care is all non-essential, but good for me and long overdue. Between appointments and exercise, time for writing is scarce. I exercise to praise music, read daily scripture and blessings that arrive by email, but haven’t shared with you.

Until I find a good balance or April 1st rolls around, you can subscribe to Bible Gateway’s Verse of the Day or another faith blog. Some of my favorites include:
Lori Roeleveld’s Disturber of Hobbits,
Susie Larson’s Daily Blessings,
Words by Andy Lee,
Holley Gerth’s Coffee for Your Heart,
Holly Barrett’s The Big Red Sofa and Testimony Tuesday,
