Summary
Today's show is one that will equip you with a truth many of us may not even be aware of, and stay tuned, because I created a Freebie for you.
In my personal struggle to stay strong and fit: mind, body and soul, God showed me this:
And it was a major aha moment!
Did you know the weekend is almost a third of the year?
Pause for a moment and think about this:
Have you ever made the connection that weekends were a third of the year and could be sabotaging your fitness goals?
I thought it was important to do a Strong. Confident. His. episode on this, because God wants His daughter's wise.
He wants our eyes open to the traps of the enemy and the things that we don't even see that are completely derailing us from our best.
The weekend feels like a time to take completely off, but we can't take our foot completely off the gas pedal and our hands off the wheel or we will end up in an unhealthy ditch!
Who wants off this crazy train?! I sure did! And God saved me from it.
So, I'm determined to share everything I learned the hard way, and this sure was one of them.
This concept of taking weekends completely off is why we start our diets over every Monday and we gain and lose the same weight every week and get nowhere.
I'm hoping that this episode gets you thinking about your weekends, and how to approach them with a plan: so I made you a freebie, It's called the Stay Fit Weekend Checklist, and I'll link to it below.
Success doesn't happen with one big step, it happens in all the little steps.
Little changes, equal big results.
Romans 12:1 says, We must offer our bodies as living sacrifices unto God.
This is where many Christians continually hold back their best from God—not wanting to fully surrender every aspect of their lives to him. But what we hold back, will always be a place of pain for us.
Psalm 51: 6 says,
Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
More Faith Fuel:
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
James 4:8 ESV

Nothing happens without action, and I'm here to be your accountability partner.
