 Monthly Feature Article-

It’s Not About You!
By Angela Willingham

Anybody that knows me knows that I can find a bible lesson or life lesson in anything. Ask Joshlyn, she will tell you she can get a phone call at the most outrageous time because I saw something. The other day I happened across a show on MTV called True Life. This particular episode depicted a man and his fiance’. He was flying into town for their wedding, which was to take place the next day. He arrived late at night or I should say early in the morning since it was approximately 1:30am. He was standing on the curb at the airport waiting for his bride to be to pick him up.

When the couple arrived at the house he immediately went to the refrigerator because he said he was starving. He grabbed some cold pizza and whatever else he could find and just began to eat. His fiance’ stood there looking at him in what appeared to be total disgust. She then made the comment, I don’t believe people should eat after 10pm and he said the words that I will never forget, “This ain’t about you!”

His words made me think about so many times when we utter our opinion about a situation or circumstance. Does what we think really matter? In the grand scheme of things what really matters, not what I think or what I want, but what really matters is what God thinks and what God wants.

It was obvious in this segment of the show that the bride to be believed that her opinion was of some value. What she thought was more important than what her fiance’ was feeling. He was hungry.

I went to see the new Queen Latifah movie, “Just Wright” (I will talk more about that at another time) the other day and I watched as one woman schemed to get the type of man she wanted. She did not care whether he was the man for her it was about what he had to bring to the table. Getting with her would cost him his purpose and the plan God had for his life, but she did not care because all she wanted was to be the star basketball player’s wife and to sit in the VIP section at the games. How many times have we seen that happen, a person more concerned about themselves and what they want than God’s purpose in a situation?

How many other situations occur on a daily basis where we focus on what we believe is important to us, what is best for us, based on our limited view, without being concerned about how it will impact those around us or those that God intended for us to touch? How many times have our decisions been based strictly on serving our own best interest?

It made me start to ask some questions. How do my choices affect the situation and the people around me? Ultimately, it is not about me. It is about what God has purposed to be done in and through my life. I can choose a thing that is not for me and mess up everything. I would love to be married, chillin at home with my family, doing what we do, but that has not been God’s plan for me at this particular moment in my life. If I had chosen to do it my way and accept an alternate plan for my life there would be no ministry, there would be no writing, there would be no podcasts, because I would have made it about me instead of God’s plan for me. I hope you understand what I am saying, I have told you about plan B before. You have some of the same opportunities and options in your own life. We can make it about us in where we live and how we spend our time, but will that be what God wants for us?

I remember my pastor sharing with us that many times we are going through things and it does not make sense. The truth is that it is not about us, it is about what God is trying to do in and through us. It’s not about you, it’s not about me, it’s about God, it’s about the kingdom.

I read the scripture from 1 Corinthians 12:12-31. It says, 12 -13You can easily enough see how this kind of thing works by looking no further than your own body. Your body has many parts—limbs, organs, cells—but no matter how many parts you can name, you're still one body. It's exactly the same with Christ. By means of his one Spirit, we all said good-bye to our partial and piecemeal lives. We each used to independently call our own shots, but then we entered into a large and integrated life in which he has the final say in everything. (This is what we proclaimed in word and action when we were baptized.) Each of us is now a part of his resurrection body, refreshed and sustained at one fountain—his Spirit—where we all come to drink. The old labels we once used to identify ourselves—labels like Jew or Greek, slave or free—are no longer useful. We need something larger, more comprehensive.

14 -18I want you to think about how all this makes you more significant, not less. A body isn't just a single part blown up into something huge. It's all the different-but-similar parts arranged and functioning together. If Foot said, "I'm not elegant like Hand, embellished with rings; I guess I don't belong to this body," would that make it so? If Ear said, "I'm not beautiful like Eye, limpid and expressive; I don't deserve a place on the head," would you want to remove it from the body? If the body was all eye, how could it hear? If all ear, how could it smell? As it is, we see that God has carefully placed each part of the body right where he wanted it.

19 -24But I also want you to think about how this keeps your significance from getting blown up into self-importance. For no matter how significant you are, it is only because of what you are a part of. An enormous eye or a gigantic hand wouldn't be a body, but a monster. What we have is one body with many parts, each its proper size and in its proper place. No part is important on its own. Can you imagine Eye telling Hand, "Get lost; I don't need you"? Or, Head telling Foot, "You're fired; your job has been phased out"? As a matter of fact, in practice it works the other way—the "lower" the part, the more basic, and therefore necessary. You can live without an eye, for instance, but not without a stomach. When it's a part of your own body you are concerned with, it makes no difference whether the part is visible or clothed, higher or lower. You give it dignity and honor just as it is, without comparisons. If anything, you have more concern for the lower parts than the higher. If you had to choose, wouldn't you prefer good digestion to full-bodied hair?

25 -26The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part, the parts we mention and the parts we don't, the parts we see and the parts we don't. If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance.

27 -31You are Christ's body—that's who you are! You must never forget this. Only as you accept your part of that body does your "part" mean anything. You're familiar with some of the parts that God has formed in his church, which is his "body":

  
   apostles
   prophets
   teachers
   miracle workers
   healers
   helpers
   organizers
   those who pray in tongues.

But it's obvious by now, isn't it, that Christ's church is a complete Body and not a gigantic, unidimensional Part? It's not all Apostle, not all Prophet, not all Miracle Worker, not all Healer, not all Prayer in Tongues, not all Interpreter of Tongues. And yet some of you keep competing for so-called "important" parts.

   But now I want to lay out a far better way for you. (Taken from the Message Bible)

The truth is that we did use to call our own shots, because we thought it was about us, but it is not. It is about each one of us bringing our puzzle piece to the table and laying it down next to other puzzle pieces so we can make up the Kingdom Picture God intended. The illustration the bible uses is one of the human body and compares it to the church, maybe you can’t see that, can you see it in your own family? When one part is selfish and only looks out for itself the rest of the unit cannot function at the top of it’s game. Maybe the father who is supposed to be the breadwinner decides to take the rent money to the casino and the family is without a place to live or spends it on drugs and alcohol or decides to have an affair with another woman, because she looked good, was young and pretty.

Think about it in relation to the basketball team. I use to be quite fond of the Chicago Bulls in the Michael Jordan era, but the other members of the team, Scottie Pippen, Steve Kerr, Horace Grant, BJ Armstrong, Dennis Rodman and Coach Phil Jackson, to name a few, were necessary for the Bulls to become the champs they were destined to be. While Michael was a big factor, it was not all about Michael or the other players would not have been necessary.

The eye would not have been necessary, the ear would not have been necessary, the feet would not have been necessary. It is my prayer that we are starting to get this. As good as Michael was no championships were won with Michael as the only factor. He is not the only one in the hall of fame. It’s not about us either. We are a piece of a much bigger puzzle called the kingdom of God, the family, the marriage, the job, whatever it is that we are part of, we are just that a part. It is important that we play our part, but always remember that it is not about us, no matter what we are doing it is about God. Don’t get upset and keep your piece off the board, or choose to make your own decisions about how it will be used, doing that will dishonor you, God and will be a hindrance to the Kingdom picture God is drawing.

It’s not about you, it’s about the kingdom, it’s about God!

1 Corinthians 12:12-31:

 Encouragement From Queen-

Please Forgive Me!
By Queen Lacey

When they nailed you to the cross you said, “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do
I hope and pray for a spirit of forgiveness just like you

Sometimes people do things to me that I don’t think are right
But nothing measures to you, who knew no sin, gave your life

You gave your life that I may be made free
Free from sin and live with you in eternity

When I don’t forgive you won’t forgive me and you will say from you I must depart
Please I don’t want to hear those words, so I pray you will put forgiveness in my heart

I realize to not forgive destroys families and sometimes friends
It would be like sending you to the cross all over again

Please Forgive Me

(For the last several weeks our life group has been dealing with forgiveness. Please call into our conference call line if you would like to participate or check out the various articles and podcasts.

  Monthly Physical Fitness Article-

  Excerpt from Get Fit-Fitness Angel Newsletter

How much are you really eating?
www.justlikemefitness.com
Your Fitness Angel

Each day you make well over 200 decisions about food, according to Brian Wansink, PH.D. in his book, Mindless Eating. I would put money on the fact that your weight is the sum total of your past food decisions and lack of exercise.  It is usually not one or the other but a combination.  I have been training people for over 17 years and I see the same scenarios played out over and over again.  Take my word for it Your Fitness Angel knows.  People eat the wrong things, in the wrong amounts, at the wrong times and then wonder why their weight is creeping up.   

According to Wansink, overeating can be greatly reduced simply by removing the cues in your environment that cause you to overeat. He goes on to explain the top 5 Diet Danger Zones and the solutions for each:

1. The Meal Stuffer: At mealtime you really stuff yourself. You clean everything off your plate, eat quickly and often go back for seconds. You consider yourself to have a “healthy appetite” and often feel uncomfortably full after eating.  The honest truth is that I am guilty of doing this once a year myself.  You guessed it Thanksgiving when all of my favorite foods are placed before me.  Even The Fitness Angel struggles at Thanksgiving, but we are not talking about a once a year situation here.  We are talking about a lifestyle habit of stuffing yourself at meals.  Here are some simple solutions to help you combat this danger zone:

• Use the Half-Plate Rule: fill half of your plate with vegetables and the other half with protein and starch.
  
  
• Use smaller plates and wait 20 minutes before deciding if you want seconds.
  
  
• Eat slower so your appetite can catch up with what you've already eaten.  This can be done by putting your fork down between bites and drinking water between bites even if it is just a sip.
  
  
• Don't place serving dishes on the table. Pre-plate your food and then put the rest out of reach.
  
  
• Leave something on your plate.  I know people are starving in other countries and I know there are homeless people and I am not being insensitive to their needs, but your half serving of mashed potatoes left uneaten is not going to save them contrary to what your mother taught you when you were growing up.  Yes, we have all heard the people are starving so you have to clean your plate admonishments from our parents.

2. The Snack Grazer: You eat whatever food is within reach, and snack at least three times throughout the day. You can't walk past a candy dish without dipping in. Your snacking is rarely done out of hunger.  Here are some simple solutions to help you combat this danger zone:

• Chew gum throughout your day to avoid mindless munching.
  
  
• Keep tempting snack foods out of sight and out of mind.  Don't use the excuse that I bought this stuff for the kids, because we know who will be eating it.  Find healthy substitutes for the things your kids like or take them out for them as a special treat. 
  
  
• Never eat directly from a package. Portion out your snack into a dish.  You have heard the Lays potato chip commercials.  No one can eat just one, so either don't buy them or buy the single serving bag and count them out.  Don't eat from the bag unless  you are planning to eat the whole bag. 
  
  
• Don't purchase tempting snack foods for future snacking. Keep a wide variety of fruits and vegetables on hand instead.

3. The Party Binger: Whenever you attend a social event where the main attraction is food, you eat without stopping. With all the distractions you quickly lose track of how much you've consumed and often stop only when it's time to leave.  Here are some simple solutions to help you combat this danger zone:

• Stay more than an arm's length away from the buffet or snack bowls.
• Put only two food items on your plate during each trip to the table.  Limit the number of trips you make to the table. 
• Make yourself feel full by eating the big healthy stuff first, like broccoli and carrots.
• Remind yourself why you are at the party: first to socialize or to conduct business and secondarily to eat.  Spend more time socializing than eating.  Try socializing with out always having something in your hand to eat or drink.  If there are activities at the event participate (dancing, games, karaoke, etc.)

Yes, there are other things that you could be doing that are affecting your weight loss adversely, but I want you to take a minute to figure out if either of these applies to you and then take steps to do something about it.  As a reminder:

• Always watch your portions.  If you are eating out it is inevitable that the servings that are being given to you are more than a single serving, so don't eat the whole thing and wonder why you are not seeing the weight come off.
• Don't wait until you feel like you are starving to eat.  It will cause you to eat more than you intended.
• Eat small healthy snacks throughout the day to keep your metabolism moving.

By making these healthy changes when it comes to your food decisions you will put yourself back on course and moving in the direction of healthy weight loss.  If you doubt me, try it for a week or two and let me know what happens. 

Would you like to expedite your fitness and weight loss results? My clients are seeing results because The Fitness Angel knows how to transform a a broken down shack to a temple.  Email today to get started on a fitness program that will quickly transform your body.

Remember, while nutrition is vitally important for weight loss, true results are achieved through a combination of both nutrition and challenging, progressive exercise.  Push yourself to do some challenging exercise at least 3-4 times a week for 20-30 minutes.  If you are already doing more than that push yourself to do more or visit my website for your own special one on one personal training session 24 hours per day 7 days per week for less than $1 per day.  I promise it will be worth it.

Minister Angela just read, He Loves Me He Loves Me Not, by Paula White

It's not what you might be thinking.  It is not about the relationship between a man and a woman, or boy and girl like when we were children pulling the petals off of a flower, proclaiming he loves me, he loves me not and determining whether or not he loved us based on the last petal.  The book is about what every woman needs to know about unconditional love, but is afraid to feel.  The unconditional love of God.  The truth is that no man or woman can love another individual unconditionally without God doing the loving through them. 

Many of us have not received the love that we wanted or desired from the men in our lives and it has left us in a place of being unable to really accept the love of our heavenly Father.  There was a statement in the book that blessed me more than any other.  Paula said love is a commitment, not a feeling.  How many of us have gotten that wrong?  Thinking it was a feeling instead of a decision, wondering why we were left disappointed when the feeling was gone.  She also shared how God loves us through people. Who is God loving you through? She shared that God showed her that her husband at the time was a gift of love from Him. Wow, it made me wonder how many times God had loved me that way and I had missed it. It made me stop to think about all of the ways He is showing His love to me right now and I don’t even realize it. It changed my thinking.

She shared that God will never become bored or tired of you.  He won't pass away, abandon or reject you.  He won't leave you for a more exciting lover.  His love is constant and it is through experiencing His love that a woman finds herself.  Only through His love can a woman learn to accept the love of the other men in her life. Can a man get something out of this book? I think so, because women are not the only ones that have a hard time with unconditional love.

I was blessed by reading this book and I believe you will be also. 

Many of you have read some awesome books that have really ministered to you, spiritually, emotionally, relationally or physically. Let us know what you have been reading by writing to us on the message board. Your recommendations might help someone else. Please let us know if you have read some good Christian fiction as well. Many of those books have awesome messages contained within them and we want to encourage people to grow spiritually any way they can.

New Beginnings Scripture for July 2010

1 Corinthians 12:12-13

12 -13You can easily enough see how this kind of thing works by looking no further than your own body. Your body has many parts—limbs, organs, cells—but no matter how many parts you can name, you're still one body. It's exactly the same with Christ. By means of his one Spirit, we all said good-bye to our partial and piecemeal lives. We each used to independently call our own shots, but then we entered into a large and integrated life in which he has the final say in everything. (This is what we proclaimed in word and action when we were baptized.) Each of us is now a part of his resurrection body, refreshed and sustained at one fountain—his Spirit—where we all come to drink. The old labels we once used to identify ourselves—labels like Jew or Greek, slave or free—are no longer useful. We need something larger, more comprehensive.

Our Mission Statement

Our Mission is to draw individuals to Jesus Christ through the Ministry of Holistic Fitness and to see the Body of Christ become fit in all areas by providing tools and information to empower you to succeed. New Beginnings is dedicated to helping you gain personal, spiritual, physical, mental and relational fitness by developing the courage and confidence necessary to set and achieve goals based on biblical principles. Most people encounter difficulty reaching goals, sticking with a diet or completing a task by trying to make an outward change without having made any inward spiritual changes. In other words, all improvements in your life begin with a change in your mind and spirit.
