Thank you for visiting our Tesney web-site! We have created this
site
to share with our friends, our family, and anyone who mysteriously stumbles into
our web! It has several of our interest and many of our adventures that
we hope to be able to share, learn, interact, and even inspire ourselves and
others as our site continues to grow. I am beginning to develop this
with a heart for the Lord, a desire to accumulate more knowledge for our minds,
and we are always reaching out to assist others in any way that we can! It is constantly
'under construction' and in need of your criticism, praise, ideas, and thoughts!
I've enjoyed others and their personal input and I now welcome yours!
I hope that you and many others will join us ...
Please feel free to browse our site
( click on: 'Spiritual, Mental, Physical or Social' listed above)
and email us with any questions or comments. (See our email link below).
ONE WORD OF GOD
ONE SAVIOR
ONE SALVATION
Mental
It's always good when I visualize things ... so I draw a box. I write the
word 'Physical, Mental, Spiritual & Social' on all 4 sides. These are 4
areas of my life that are separate ... yet intertwined. Each aspect is
individual ... but each is a necessary part of me. I carried this drawing around to
remind me that I need to focus on all 4 of these aspects of my life ... but I
still can't seem to hold it all in place. I focused on one of the aspects, started
achieving in that area of my life, then my life would soon begin to fall apart at the seams.
When I was weakened to the point that I couldn't give any more effort ... it became clear to me that I was taking the wrong
approach . These things are all very important (Physical, Mental, Spiritual, &
Social) ... but I then began to draw a
triangle, for an illustration, to represent
'A Balanced Life Approach'.
Social Spiritual
Physical
Mental
To achieve 'A Balanced Life' I began to realize that I do need to focus on these 3 things: Physical, Mental, And Social ...
because each
of these aspects are a necessity ... but I have been taking the wrong approach. The thing that I was trying
to do before was focus all of my strengths on one aspect ... but all of my strengths in any of these individual areas of my life is never enough. I need to
take the most important aspect ... SPIRITUAL ... and use it as my ONLY strength in
ALL other areas of my life! It's that simple! Put God first and everything else
in my life will then fall into place!
An equilateral triangle has 3 sides ... and any pressure from the outside
only makes it stronger. If the sides are not equal ... the triangle is weak and
pressure from the outside will quickly destroy it! What a good example to use! I
can think of my ‘Life’ as an equilateral triangle … and on each side write:
Physical, Mental, Social … and in the middle of the triangle write Christ!
Anything in my life will be made stronger … with Christ in the center!
I can start with a small triangle and allow it to grow equally with my
‘SPIRITUAL’ being the strength of everything in my life! My 'Mental'
aspect will then be spiritual rather than worldly, My 'Social' will be
based on my friends & my family of God (no longer myself) and that will only strengthen my life … my
'Physical' aspect will be developing a body that is only for Christ. …
that represents who I have taken into my heart & Christ will always ‘shine’
through ME for others to see!
I hope that I am not going in too deep! But this is a realization that I have
needed all of my life! I have tried to give 120% to my place of employment ...
but they throw me out without missing a beat.
I have given my life fully for others … but what good am I for them if I keep letting
my body slowly deteriorate? I can try to be ‘Too’ Churchy and full of Bible
knowledge … but what good am I
if I turn others away from Church … or ignore them as I get More 'Churchy’?! I
have now taken scriptures to my mind, Christ in my heart, and I am now learning to
develop a body that is pleasing to God ... with his light shining in me!
I want to take tonight and realize that I am weakest in Spiritual, Physical, &
Mental strength. I want to face the challenge of putting my mind where it needs
to be ... in a relationship with God. I want to be able to achieve the many goals that I pursue (right now I’m not
clearly focused) with God’s help! I want to be a better person by developing a
body & mind that can be Scripturally based and Christ oriented! I am crying out in desperation for others to join
me in this quest for knowledge ...
... this desire for 'A Purpose Driven Life'
... this search for 'A Balanced Life'.
... this prayer is for me to get closer to others ... as we get closer to the
Lord! 11/8/2003
