We are enjoying spring break in Atlanta this year. Our condo is literally in the heart of the city which if full of lights and noise - the complete opposite of my normal country life. But this morning I rose early and headed across the street to the Centennial Olympic park to walk and found this quiet, peaceful space in the midst of a busy and loud city.
I’m using the Revelation Wellness - Healthy & Whole 7 day mini challenge to prepare my heart for Resurrection Sunday listening to teaching and studying the seven “I AM” statements of Jesus. There’s a 35-40 minute podcast designed to listen to while moving (walking, running, cycling or whatever moves you) and a corresponding Bible study to go a little deeper.
I’m on day four and may not get through all
7 before Easter but man, these have been amazing and challenging. The Spirit is convicting and revealing things I need in this season. It’s so good y’all!
Many of you may know Elijah and I are headed on mission in Belize this summer. And I realize I want/need to be in better shape to fully enjoy this experience. But it’s not about being in shape (like a smaller clothing size), it’s about being in shape to serve, honor, and glorify God! When I walked this morning I intentionally left my Fitbit back in the condo. It’s not about a calorie burn or number of steps. It’s about leaning into Jesus, fixing my face on Him, and trusting Him for it all! He will supply my every need and desire (as long as my desires align with His)!
Small steps toward wellness begin with Jesus, first and foremost!
