I parked in front of our local health dispenser office the other day when the Nurse Practitioner(?) - the person that is considered the "doctor" in our town, stepped out of the office taking a vacuum cleaner to another building. OH MY!
I haven't seen her for awhile but occasionally run into her dh. They have both gained so much weight! (And on top of that she was wearing pants made out of that stretchy material - not spandex but ...polyester) ANYWAY... she looked SO terrible. NOT a good representation for a health "professional" at all.
Fortunately, the Lord always uses those moments in my life to ask me if *I* am a good representation for a "professional" Christian.
I realize how KNOWING something vs living in a way that reflects my knowledge is two very different things. As badly as I wanted to judge her and tell her that she's an embarrassment to the health field, all the fingers immediately pointed back to me. sigh I believe in healthy eating and exercise. I have no excuses. WHY am *I* not the epitome of health?
