Operation: Fortitude Fitness Month #2

Greetings once again, beloved followers. It is officially March, and according to the weather reports, it looks like it came in like a Lion for areas in my home state of Kansas with tornados and whatnot. So before I get on with my update, let’s remember to pray for  Harveyville and Pittsburg, KS as well as the other towns impacted by Lion-like weather (Branson, MO and various towns in Illinois.)

Wish Granted

The time has come. Many of you loyal readers out there were wishing for that Jesus Caffeine Prize pack that I was offered last Friday. But alas, we can only have one winner (this time…)

And the Jesus Caffeine winner is…

BRITTANI SHANK!!

Congratulations, Brittani and WISH GRANTED. You are the new owner of a Starbucks gift card, journal and “Guerilla Lovers” book . CONGRATULATIONS once again and thanks from the bottom of my heart to all of you who entered. Seriously. It blew me away!

The amazingness of this ministry thus far coupled with granted wishes (or rather answered prayers) finds me needing to revisit my word  for 2012. [Read more…]

Operation: Fortitude Fitness Update (Month #1)

Happy February Folks!!Hopefully this post finds you still moving strong towards your “Getting SMART with 2012” goals… We are heading into month #2 and I’m hopeful that you are still hanging on to your goals and have not already fallen off track like a 6-year-old trying to use their dog to pull their Red Rider Wagon.

Getting SMART with 2012

Welp. It’s a New Year, America.

Sorry. That was kind of an obvious statement. But obvious or not, Happy 2012. I hope you are excited… because I am!! (After sitting in church yesterday morning, I have a feeling God has some BIG plans for us this year.)

I used to be a person of big “resolutions.” I would have all these grand plans of losing a bajillion pounds in a week and reading one letter of the encyclopedia per week. (Only a slight exaggeration.) Then of course, in about 3-5 wks  (if it lasted that long) I would lose steam and be back where I started… If not further off course.

So. What’s the key to setting successful goals? They have to be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time Bound. [Read more…]

Here’s to Kicking the Bucket… list (Part 2)

We have all heard that with God, all things are possible. 

And while he certainly can do ANYTHING and achieve great miracles, sometimes we can rejoice in the small things… Like having faith to accomplish the potentially goofy things on our “Bucket List.” 
As promised, today I am sharing with you things that I have yet to accomplish on my Bucket List… Just writing down some these words fills me with such passion and excitement that I can’t describe it! Praising God for the “little things!”
One more thing to know– there isn’t a limit to how many things you can have… I still periodically add things as they come to me!
Sharita Lo-Quita-Jo-Mama’s Bucket list… Still “To do.”  [Read more…]
