The way that God has transformed my mind lately is nothing short of a miracle. I've always dreaded working out, I always did it so l could reach a certain weight or look a certain way.

But 3 months ago something in me shifted, he gave me a new view of weight lifting and opened my eyes to how I can truly honor and worship him by taking care of my body and using it to become the very person he designed me to be.

For years I've been praying that God would align my life with his will, that he would show me my purpose, why ! was here. Over and over for almost 9 years now, I kept hearing him whisper "fitness & Ministry". I had no idea what he meant by this until now. Every time I pick up a weight he heals another part of my heart. Every workout is worship to him and an hour of pure gratitude for the body he gave me. To truly walk in his calling for my life I had (and continue) to surrender to the worldly way of over indulgence, laziness, and self pity. Taking care of my body does something to my mind and gives me more mental strength to fight the enemy when he comes knocking with all his lies. I'm only 3 months in but I know God is doing big things and transforming my heart in so many ways. I'm beyond grateful
