Made Ready

Proverbs 21:31 (New International Version)

The horse is made ready for the day of battle,

but victory rests with the LORD.

Love being here with O in LA as she gets ready for the Biggest Loser Finale.  I’ve been the “gym bag carrier” (in the winter I was the “coat carrier”:). I love it…first off, to be with her after these months of filming and being apart.  But also because I’m so in awe of how she is training and how focused she is on the goal, the prize. I love this scripture and it’s what I’ve felt as I worked out beside her and seen the passion in her eyes.  She is doing everything she can to prepare for the day of battle (the final weigh in) and the victory rests with God.  That’s His realm.  Like Paul says in Ephesians, “When you’ve done all, stand.”

On Tuesday, she will have done all. And she can stand.

Victory rests with the Lord.

 

Even If You Were Told

So many amazing things happening in our lives right now.  One of our friends gave us a scripture toward the beginning of Olivia’s Biggest Loser journey:

“Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.” -Habakkuk 1:5

That’s exactly the description I would use for this incredible experience. You never know what God is going to do next…

I continue to be utterly amazed!!!
