Proverbs 18:10 - NLT
The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.
Every few weeks or so, Ellen would go off by herself to her grandmother's farm for a day alone. She would fast for the entire day, and each time hunger would overtake her, she would pause to pray to God. She thanked Him for providing her with food and sustenance through the week. She thanked Him for her life in a country where she was free to do what she wanted to. She thanked Him that she didn't have to struggle day to day for survival. The times on the farm meant so much to her. Ellen found great strength in those times when hunger made her feel so weak. It was good to take time to be thankful.

Today's Tip: MOVE IT TO LOSE IT!
Watch and work out . . . Choose one half-hour show that you like and jog in place. Or create your own step class by putting four old phone books in a row on the floor and stepping up and down for the whole half-hour. At the same time, move your arms up and down over your head. Even better, let Oprah motivate you and work out for the whole hour!
