I've been thinking over the past few days about how easy it is as a mama to take care of everyone else and not yourself. Everyone else eats right, gets enough sleep, drinks water, goes to the doctor and dentist but how often do we take good care of our own temples?

I was really convicted about this about a year and a half ago when I weighed in at 241 lbs. I couldn't believe I'd let myself get that big. But more importantly I couldn't believe I had been that disobedient. That was NOT a healthy weight for me! Some time later I've lost 60 lbs but I still don't take care of myself that way I should.

Yesterday I found out that I'm going to need some major dental surgery. My teeth look okay but I've always had a hard time with them. Going go the dentist just wasn't a priority for me because there were so many other things to do! Now I'm going to have to have one wisdom tooth and several other teeth pulled and partials put in. Thankfully they're in the back so they won't be noticeable until I get this partials. But this is a direct result of not taking care of myself the way I know God wants us to. I'm paying for my disobedience!

So mamas, take care of those temples!! Don't neglect your own health even though you have many littles one to take care of. When we're disobedient by not taking good care of ourselves we harm our relationship with God and harm our own bodies! So be good to everyone else and yourself!
