First day of Challenge. Challenge is right. I entered into this with trepidation and hesitancy because
1. I am not very disciplined.
2. My fear of failure far exceeds my faith in myself
3. If I don't do it now, I fear I never will
Just as there are 3 inherent facts that contribute to my insecurities I also have FAITH in 3 verses in the Bible:
1. I can do ALL things through Christ that strengthens me-Phillipians 4:13
2. Whoever refreshes others will be refreshed- Proverbs 11:25
3. Blessed is she that believed that there would be a fullfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord- Luke 1:45
He is what keeps me grounded, encouraged, refreshed, hopeful, longing, filled with purpose. His love through me empowers me to do good works for His purpose. Just as God wants our hearts and minds to be on Him, he also wants us to be healthy and take care of our bodies as they are gifts from God as well. That being said and what I believe, I also know that is not what I have been doing. This challenge isn't just a weight challenge, a fitness challenge, but an awakening to the completedness that comes from taking care of my body as well! Peace & Love to all of my fellow dietbet friends! Encouragement to you!
