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!!!

I Like Arthur’s Thinking…

Question: Who do you predict will win season eleven of The Biggest Loser?

Arthur Wornum: Courtney, since day one we have had a connection, she is like my little sister. My sentimental favorite is Courtney but my brain tells me if I had to put money on it, Olivia will win this season of The Biggest Loser. Olivia is one of the toughest competitors, I can’t tell you how strong that woman is.

You can tell me, Arthur…I know!!

Late Nights & Early Mornings

Sitting here cold, sleepy, all by myself in the late of the night. This week has been one of not much sleep. It’s been all good stuff, but it can kind of leave you in a haze. Missing my wife Olivia (if you didn’t know she’s a current contestant on NBC’s The Biggest Loser Link) and the simple joy she emanates when I come through the door to find her home. God is doing amazing things in and through her…I’m so excited.

I’m really just checking in before hitting the sack. Sleep will be nice–even if it’s just for a few hours.

Remember today that the Lord hides us in Him. We are hidden with God in Christ. All the battles can rage around us but we are safely resting with Him in that secret place. Find that place. Seek that place.

No one can take it away.
