Okay...so when you think of health I'm sure that most of you think about working out, eating good, and maybe doing a bit of aerobics or running of some sort. Those are a wonderful start, but there is so much more! We often focus on our outward appearance and not our inside. For all of you health and fitness fans (me included!) take a step back and look at your soul. How do you feel? When is enough going to be enough? What will it take to make you happy about your looks or your figure?
So many times I wake up and look in the mirror and think "well, once I lose this.." or "once I build this..." I can be happy. My mind can be at ease. WHAT??? Are our days not numbered and our minutes not limited? What a way to start the day huh.
Being a woman of God is sure freeing. You can work out, eat right and run all you want to, but unless your mind and soul are focused on Jesus Christ you will never truly be happy with you.
My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. I do what I can to eat in a way I believe Jesus and the Apostles did. One thing that I have always wanted to do and am still working on it Jesus does in the Bible. You know when hard days and times come or big decisions are needing to be made, we decide to fast and pray much more than usual. Well, if you look in the Bible Jesus was ALWAYS prepared. He fasted and prayed enough that he didn't have to take the time to do that when Satan came knocking. Oh, I want to be like that! Prepared.
Keeping your body healthy is very important. If you are always sick or tired or restless or irratable or unhappy with who you are, then what help will you be to others? There's nothing uplifting about someone who hates themselves and their life.
So, this is what my blogs will be about. Health and fitness of Body Mind and Soul. I've still got a lot to learn in all areas but it will be fun "growing" (corny I know!) together!
Some background: Growing up in high school I was actively involved in cheerleading, volleyball, basketball, track, and what ever other sport they would let me in!Fun stuff! My senior year I was chosen to cheer in the London New Year's Day parade in Europe! What a blast! I was able to cheer and stunt with some of the UCA (Universal Cheerleading Association) staff and toured London and had a blast!
I was also accepted to cheer at a Christian College in Indiana. I've worked at several gyms and was a teacher's assistant for weight training at my first college.
I grew up in a Christian family with a father who was a preacher! I love my family and have been taught so very much by them! I miss you! My husband plays the guitar and sings for our church and I sing with him as well. God has blessed us to be involved in a church that is just recently started and we are excited to see where it goes. Shine your favor on us Jesus.

So, I will be starting next week and posting work-out ideas that I have used to tone and strengthen. I will also be posting bible verses and recipes for all sorts of different things! May God bless you in all you do today and take care! let me know any feedback that you may have! Byeeeeeee!

fun quotes:
"God answers prayer, not advice."
"You only love God as much as you love the person you love least."
"Did you ever notice that people who are late are often jollier than the people who had to wait on them." hehe :)
