morning thought

As I reviewed my history to see if I could just rest (take a nap) this afternoon, cause it made me feel so much better yesterday, but, I didn't accomplish much. I noticed a trend, what I had assumed was random, unexcused weight gain and deceases were actually directly related to rest.

I had heard it declared by respected experts that the shape of our body is not determined by our will power and excessive; rather, it is more reflexive and more to do with our DNA and subsequent hormones. I knew that my body used a lot of calories on it's own and although moment is good, not benefiting me because of it's role in  burning energy through exercise, but that my body is always "making choices" best it can with what I give it to work with....and my time would be better spent getting out of the way and trusting it to do what is best for me than trying to force it to so something to become like someone else. I need to have more faith and trust that if I rest it will not harm me or make me a slothful person. Our Heavenly Father already knew our struggles and what we needed to be successful. If I can believe any such miracles like David conquering Goliath. Surely, I can believe that if I ask him, he will solve my Villegas.

I will take a nap and not lose the momentum I am building to get into a better shape. It is similar to how Brigham Young had strong and willing workers go help the railroad construction to help raise a temple. It would have taken faith to stop laboring on the temple to speed up it's construction, but. That is precisely what happened, and with every miracle it was proceeded by faith.
