I took myself on a solo date to Cheesecake Factory last week. Second only to their WIDE variety of cheesecake is the little basket of bread that comes to every table just before the appetizers. In typical curious fashion, I did a poll… In a 16-3 split, the saints of Instagram said that the pumpernickel bread was their preferred. Some of the comments I got went as far as they’d likely leave the rest of the bread in the basket....

I spent the morning being shaken up by Holy Spirit & poured into by my pastors. You had to be there to understand BUT What I came away with was this: ”He will protect His flock like a shepherd, He will gather the lambs in His arm, He will carry them in His bosom; He will gently and carefully lead those nursing their young.“...

Goal size achieved ✅

Just after my birthday last year, I challenged myself to steward my body well by hiring a trainer and permanently changing my diet.

Here are 4 things I learned:

1. Potential is NOT tangible - I don’t care how much you want to meet the goal. The only way anything happens is by MOVING.

2. Journeys are better together - I had not just my trainer (Sheryce, you’re AMAZING!) but tons of friends near & far to encourage me when I wanted to throw in the towel.

3. Self-love is a pre-requisite - The results are not immediate. But understanding and accepting your body as it is limits the friction with the process.

4. Prayer changes things - I used to think it was weird to pray for weight loss. But if I’d asked for wisdom, motivation and strategy I’d have been here years ago. 1 Thessalonians 5:16 & Philippians 4:6-7 are great words to live by.

I pray this encourages you to get up and DO THE THING!
