READ THAT AGAIN ๐
Healthy to HELP. Not skinny to SOCIALIZE.
Now letโs chat ab it. ๐
Somewhere along the way, we started treating our bodies like trophies to display or trash cans to dirty instead of gifts from God to steward.
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ I spent DECADES obsessing over my weight, my jeans & dress size, how puffy I looked in pictures, and what other people thought of my body too. I called it being healthy, but so much of it was really about wanting to feel accepted.

โBut doesnโt God want us to take care of our bodies?โ ๐ค
YES! THATโS THE POINT!
Iโm not saying stop lifting weights, rocking Pilates, eating salads, or wanting to look good in those flare jeans back in style ๐
Iโm saying letโs change the WHY behind it all.
๐ช Strengthen your body to serve others, not impress them.
๐ฅฆ Nourish your body to fuel your God-given purpose, not shrink it.
๐ง Renew your mind with Scripture, not another list of perceived flaws.
