Day 1 – Fit for Life Challenge

☀️Good morning friends!! It’s a new day!! I’m so glad you decided to join me on this journey for 40 Days of Faith and Fitness! I firmly believe that there are no accidents with God and He put us together for this time, right now, to lift each other up, draw closer to Him and be the people He created us to be!! We will be talking about real practical ways to get healthier in our mind, body and spirit! What a great time to do that! We’ve all been through, and are going through, a very worrisome and uncertain time in our lives. But God is still the same and will always be and he’s right there waiting to join you in your daily life!
When you make the decision to start living a healthier life or make improvements in your health, I know that one of the things that seems to stop you in your track is what you tried in the past and failed. Fad diets, crazy exercise programs, or whatever. Well it’s a new day ! No time to waste looking back! Today is the day to start new and move forward from here on out!

Being healthy looks different on everyone. We weren’t created to be cookie cutter cutouts! We are all unique in every way, so stop comparing yourself to other people, and especially the pictures on the magazine covers! I am learning as I go, that being healthy and physically fit looks different on everyone and it’s not the end goal. To me it’s about being healthy and strong FOR SOMETHING.. so I can have the strength and energy to do all that God has for me to do every day! If you are sick, tired, depressed, or weak you may not be able to do all that you are called to do. And we are all called to do things! Look around you and you’ll see that you are made for a purpose! Again you may be saying… I’ve tried to eat healthy or exercise but I failed.. or whatever you’ve tried, but it’s a new day and a new way! Your approach is going to be different because you’re going to be keeping your eyes on God! I want you to COMMIT THIS PROCESS TO HIM and honor the unique way He made YOU!!
Read this passage from Isaiah 43:18-19…( this was the Lord talking…)
“Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth, shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. “

Wow! Rivers in the desert? Yes! With God anything is possible friends! He can make a way where there is no way! Man, we need a river in our desert right now! Maybe you haven’t really talked to God much in a while.. it’s okay! He’s right there! Run to him and commit this decision to be all He wants you to be , to Him! It’s a new day!! I can’t wait to see what the next 40 days will bring!
Each day I’ll end with a practical action step you can take to start a healthier lifestyle. If you’ll continue on doing each one, they’ll become a habit. Then the habits will become a lifestyle! The first step is a decision to get started! Yay! You did that already just by being here!
