It is not the absence of problems, but the presence of God that gives us security. His truth is a shield and a bulwark. #SafeRefuge…!!!

4/16 Edited to

... Read moreThroughout my life, I've often found that true security comes not from the absence of difficulties but from a deep faith that sustains me through them. The idea that God's presence offers a shield and bulwark resonates deeply with my experience, especially during times when challenges seem overwhelming. I've learned that sometimes life can feel unbearably heavy, akin to harsh winter months within our souls. Yet, just like the Spanish phrase, "En pleno invierno descubrí que dentro de mí había un verano invencible," I've discovered an invincible summer inside me despite external hardships. This internal strength is fueled by trust in divine support and truth. Embracing this mindset has transformed how I approach struggles, allowing me to rebuild stronger after setbacks instead of being broken by them. It reminds me that resilience comes from an inner refuge, a safe place of spiritual assurance. This refuge, often symbolized by faith, provides a shield against despair. For anyone feeling burdened by life's weight, I encourage you to explore this #SafeRefuge within. You might find that your soul holds more strength than you realize, capable of enduring and flourishing even in the toughest seasons. Faith can be a powerful source of peace and protection that transcends circumstances, inviting you to experience security beyond the absence of problems.

Lower ab workout *at home Pilates*
For me one of the hardest areas to tighten and target has always been my lower abs. These muscles are often weak and neglected as well. Having strong lower abs not only looks really good, but also can help with things like low back pain. Here is my go-to lower ab workout⬇️ 1. Toe taps x20 2. Gl

10 minute Ab circuit!
All you need is 10 minutes, simple but effective! Equipment is not necessary you can even just find something around the house to use for the two exercises that are weighted. TIP: Make sure to engage your core properly. This means bracing it (think pulling your belly button into your spine)
