God is good

If I only knew where to begin… Each and every day I continue to grow deeper in my faith and God continues to open my eyes wider than I could have ever dreamed. Although it’s been a while since my last blog God has continued to spread His grace throughout my life. October began with a bang as Yeter and I attended the Frontline Fall Retreat. To say the very least we had an absolutely incredible time. Never in my life have I ever been exposed to such a wonderful environment where God was truly the center of each and every event.

I am beginning to see a connection between my passion for fitness and God’s truth. I continue to pray for direction in my life and God has begun to show me the light. I set aside time to read 1 Corinthians and really found strength in 1 Corinthians 6-19, 20. Although Paul was referring to sexual immorality I feel very strongly that this also applies to many other areas in our life including fitness. Understanding that our bodies are a gift given from God paid for with the ultimate price of crucifixion has gives me even more motivation to be in the best physical shape that God will allow.

Todd and I continue to grow both spiritual, mentally, and physically. Recently Todd was able to break the 200lb plateau and now weighs 190 something. God continues to strengthen me as a person through our relationship and uses my knowledge in fitness to bring Todd to new physical high. Watching God transform us both for His glory is nothing less than amazing and knowing that he brought us both together is even more profound.

October was an extremely difficult month for my father who has been battling an unknown illness. I fully trust God and continue to pray for relief. At times I find it hard to reason with many of life’s hardships but I keep reminding myself that if God were so simple that my narrow mind could fully understand Him; He would not be a God that I would want to serve. (Thanks Todd)

I continue to look forward to our Wednesday night Bible study and feel strongly that God is using it to grow each one of us spiritually. By sharing intimate stories and life experiences we are all able to learn from one and other. Biblical community has become a very important part of my life and I feel very blessed that God has led me to such a wonderful environment.

Yeter and I continue to benefit from God’s grace as our marriage has grown deeper and continues to strengthen daily. Every day I feel more of my old shell broken away and my new God driven soul evolving. I continue to welcome God’s pruning into my life and I am excited to learn what He has planned for my future.

In Jesus Name

Amen
