The Devil is on attack of your life EVERY DAY!
It hit me last night, after watching the movie War Room for the first time (great movie btw if you haven’t yet seen it!) that I have not been recognizing the Devil’s workings in my thoughts and in my heart because they’re so SUBTLE!
And that’s just the way he likes it!
Our brains are AMAZING. The most incredible creations on the face of the planet if you ask me. One of the many reasons I went into healthcare and got my Doctorate in physical therapy because I wanted to know all I could about our amazing bodies, and especially our brain.
But since we have free will and we have control of our minds, the Devil can find clever ways to begin to seep in and start chipping away at God’s truths and our thoughts around God in hopes of creating a divide and keeping us timid, scared and distrusting of God’s ability and intimacy that He wants to have with us.
NO MORE! I’m calling B.S. on the Devil!
He will NO LONGER convince me that I’m not good enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough, not capable enough, not special enough, that God is distant, can’t hear me, doesn’t care, wants to punish me, wants to hold back from me, doesn’t want to bless me. That’s he’s blinding me to see the beauty, the good, the grace, the mercy, the love, the humanity that’s all around me.
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” James 1:17
It’s time for you to do the same.
Start digging into God’s word. His promises of love, provision, beauty, abundance, grace and mercy. Use God’s word for the tool that it is–to guard and protect and defend and repel the forces of darkness and the enemy from slithering his way into your mind, thoughts and actions.
Jesus has already defeated him on the cross! The battle is WON!
Will you claim it for yourself? Will you claim that truth over your life and no longer be a slave to negativity, pessimism, self-condemnation, guilt and shame? God has such beauty, love, life and joy for you, if you only would dispel the Devil’s influences over you and your family in Jesus’ name.
You can do it. And let me know when you do. I’d love to join with you and the angels in rejoicing victory that you’re reclaiming God’s reign in your heart and that you’ve cast the Devil out for good!!

Have you ever heard that Albert Einstein quote, “Coincidences are God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
I personally don’t believe in coincidences; I truly feel that when they happen we are witnessing God’s hand at work and personal intervening in our lives.
And for me lately, they’ve been happening faster and faster and more frequently.
And it’s been pretty awesome!
I speak about this today and not specifically a “health” or “fitness” topic, because I wanted to share with you my experience and ask you if you’re opening your eyes to see God’s working all around and intimately in your daily life as well. And if you’re not, ask Him to open your eyes to see it. Because I promise you, it’s not because He’s absent!
I recently had an epiphany and some realizations about how I was viewing God in context to my childhood and cultural/societal experiences, and how they were actually false beliefs and not the true representation of God’s character that we learn about in the Bible.
They were pretty heavy, and freeing, realizations! But I wouldn’t have seen them had I not been willing to look inward.
Sometimes we need to take a step back and examine our upbringings and experiences in our past that may be erroneously shaping our view of God. And if you’re not careful, you could go your whole life without truly feeling and experiencing God and His work in your life, to the fullest that He desires you to.
And THAT would be a true tragedy.
>>Final Thought: My challenge to you today is to journal and be brave enough to ask yourself:
- Am I open to seeing and recognizing God’s personal presence in my daily life?
- Am I seeing ‘coincidences’ as God’s divine interaction in my life, or as completely unrelated?
- Am I willing to open my mind and my eyes to look anew at my daily circumstances, to acknowledge the hand of God moving in and through me and my life?
These are some pretty heavy questions to unpack, but their value and freedom they can bring to you is priceless. I hope you’ll take the time to let them change you, from the inside.#youreworthit
Sending you ALL my love,
Your sister in Christ,

P.S. Can you see the power in these journaling questions? Are you feeling like you’re NOT seeing God moving in your life on a personal level? That you’re stuck in a rut in your physical or spiritual health and you don’t know how to climb out?

Life is a journey. It has highs and lows. But through it all God is with you and beckons you to not give up.
Throughout the Bible we see many instances of triumphs and struggle, and sometimes the desire to quit. To get out of the game. It’s too hard, too demanding, too difficult. Let’s just throw in the towel.
Take Jonah for example. He did NOT want to go to Ninevah and share God’s offering of repentance and forgiveness. He wanted to quit. To give up. To turn his back on God. But a whole nation of people would not have been saved if He did not continue following God’s command and doing what he had been called to do anyway. But it wasn’t easy.
Any large feat in our lives–be it professional, emotional or physical–requires an attitude of perseverance. Of not giving in until we see it through.
The same can be said for our health. If we’re set on conquering a goal or seeing a different picture in the mirror, to be proud of our accomplishment and to feel better on the inside, that victory does not come without effort and continual dedication.
>> Final thought: I encourage you today to get re-connected with any goals, dreams or desires you’ve put by the wayside. Things you feel deep inside you’d like to accomplish or achieve, but haven’t yet made it, or even decided to quit some while back. God wants you to to be victorious. To better fulfill his calling and purpose on your life. And your health is interconnected in your ability to do so.
Make today a new day. To get back up, reset your focus and take the next step toward achieving it. #youreworthit
