honor God

"The real difficulty is that (Christians) have never understood that their eating habits should reflect their deepest beliefs about life.  In other words, they have failed to learn that the right kind of food can transform them into the energetic, healthy people they are meant to be."  ~ Dr. Kenneth Cooper

begin now

Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Do you live that way?  Do I live that way?  Can we really even grasp how truly sacred this statement is supposed to be?  In our feeble bodies, we are to carry the very spirit of God.

Wow!  Let that sink in.  Truly sink in.

My heart has been disturbed by the lack of care many Christians put on their bodies.  And I think God has called me to share this...not because I am any different than the majority.  Because I am one of them.

Because I feed my soul not with God, but with an oreo, a piece of dark chocolate, Reese's peanut butter cups.

I am normal.  At this moment I am 9 months pregnant with 2 little ones in the other room watching a movie.  And I feel called to step out and begin a journey of discovering the place our bodies have in carrying our soul and the Holy Spirit of God.  I have gained 50 pounds with this pregnancy.  And as much as I still think I'm healthy, there is a number on that scale that disturbs me.  Is that healthy?  Am I healthy?  Do I cultivate a sanctuary for God and for me to live the life He has called me?  Or do I just get by, thinking, "We're going to all die anyways, might as well enjoy it as we go."

God wants more....I want more.

Bring on the challenge, sweet Lord.  Come with me anyone who wants to change their life and change their world.
