Overall Health

I have been posting about health and the body. Today I would like to talk about not just physical health, but total body health. There is physical, spiritual, and emotional healing that takes place when eating clean, exercising, and being in tune with your body.  A journey of health is just that - a journey. It is filled with exploring, wandering, victories, and moments of having to retrace your steps to back on track.  My prayer is that in the moments when you feel like giving up, you will instead lean on the strength of God to pull you through. Remember, He is more dedicated to seeing you succeed than you are. Health was HIS idea from the very beginning. He made your body, soul, and spirit - those three parts of your being that are all connected - when they are healthy and in harmony with each other.  Don't be afraid to start small. Take baby steps and you will find that you will experience victories! You ARE and OVERCOMER!

They are released in a state of ‘fight or flight’ or an emergency to help you survive. For example, if you’ve ever had a car swerve at you and nearly hit you, you’ve probably experienced the sensation of a racing heart, breathing heavily and reacting extremely quickly. Adrenaline and norepinephrine make sure to release a quick supply o...

The Skinny Obession...

Hello! I'm sorry that I have been MIA for a couple of weeks. Life happens, but we are back! Today, we'll be talking about the SKINNY OBSESSION that we all have in this society.  Young girls are punishing their bodies for what they think society says is beautiful. If they don't feel beautiful, they get teased in school, or some traumatic events happen in their lives, they choose to either NOT eat or binge/purge. THIS is NOT ok. The ache in their stomach takes distracts them from the pain in their hearts. How can we have our children have healthier self-esteem or self-worth, so they do not end up like us, adults, with these issues? Psalm 18:24 says, "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes."  We introduce our kids, boys and girls, to how beautiful they are and to the One Who created them - to give them a healthy self-confidence.  Teaching and even us re-learning how to eat healthy, clean - the way God intended us to be ...
