– The Sure Care for Discouragement
Philippians
1:6 (NKJV)
Being confident of this very thing, that He
who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus
Christ…
Thought For The Day:
The
Lord never gives up on us and what He has called us to do.

results… Dropping dress sizes, more energy and having more pep in your step!!!
So it is time to pull out those “Twinkle Shoes” and Let’s Dance!!! J
Keep

I
rarely spend more than 10 minutes on the bike but from trainer’s perspective
