Eating healthy can be hard sometimes! Especially if you don’t plan ahead, or there’s an unexpected office party, and for goodness sake the holiday temptations will be at every turn in less than a month!
Sometimes what we need is a perspective shift.
In this video I talk about just that. The perspective shift that’s needed to make navigating those sugary temptations or going on that run so much easier!
Stepping into our calling and responsibility to care for our bodies as the temples of the Holy Spirit they were created for is the most noble of job descriptions we can fulfill.
And that’s the key phrase, “we CAN fulfill.”
It can be done.
And it starts today.
With a decision.
With a calling.
With owning the responsibility.
With stopping the self-sabotage.
With taking joy in God’s creation.
With making better choices.
With choosing to plan ahead.
With choosing to pass the drive-thru.
With taking joy in eating from the earth.
With showing love to your body by keeping it active and healthy.
With each little decision adding up to a healthier body and a healthier you.
I hope you took the 5 minutes to watch the video above, as I’m truly sharing from my heart what each of us are capable of. If not, take that time right now.
Stepping into a healthier lifestyle is really answering the call to love our bodies and show that love to God through our actions.
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." 1 Cor. 6:19-20

This is one of my most straight-to-the-heart chats that cuts to the core of the happiness we experience, or lack thereof, in life.
I’ve been working through a 30 day personal improvement self-created challenge to really get myself to a better place physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Because I know we were created for more.
You are. I am. He is. She is.
They are. We are.
So why are so many of us roaming through life with constant dissatisfaction and to put it plainly, unhappiness?
God has created us with the ability to think, learn, grow, change, move, reason and love. If you find yourself unhappy in ANY circumstance or area of your life, it’s time to take action TODAY to make a change.
You’re fully capable, it’s just a choice. You can choose any time. Why not right now?

If you open your eyes to see it.

On my walk this morning I was challenged as God put an old song in my head:
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for meHe will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a wayLyrics from God Will Make A Way
And I was challenged with the question of, “Do I really believe that? Am I living and trusting God in a way that my actions equal my belief?”
I was to scream, “Yes!” but in reality, it’s much easier said than done. But I can and I will and I do believe it. So now, all that’s left to do, is trust!
Are you living in a way that your actions are matching your belief and what you say or think to be true, but are you living in that belief when push comes to shove? Or are you still doing whatever you can, and scheming and planning, to make sure you’re still the one in control.
Tough questions. But I’d love you to join me in putting our faith into action and trusting that the God who gave us these dreams and desires will make them come to fruition as He sees fit, if we trust that he loves us enough to honor his word and promises.
And He never fails.
