Summary
Last year was a very hard year for me, I haven't shared this publicly, but I had to have multiple surgeries. Without going into a lot of detail, the result was a medical malpractice lawsuit.
Faced with a long ugly process, and little, if any reward, I felt God telling me to drop it, to trust Him, and to move on with my life.
The moment I did, the floodgates of clarity, creativity and energy poured in.
God put a new song in my heart and lit a fire in my soul.
The morning after I let it go, while I was in prayer, I felt called to finish a big dream I'd had for years – write a faith and fitness devotional.
With 20 years in the fitness industry, as a cover model, competitor and writer, I wanted to share how complete surrender of my appetite, fitness goals, and body image issues were the game changer. The difference Jesus made in my fitness was a lasting answer, and I've wanted to share for years. (to learn more about this, go here.) https://www.kimdolanleto.com/fit
So...I woke up every morning with a mind full of words and a heart full of purpose.
The minute I put my fingers on the keyboard, the words poured out.
Isaiah 61:3 sums up my experience perfectly, God gives us beauty for ashes…
God takes our pain, trials and failures and makes something beautiful out of them.
Just when it seems impossible or too much to bare, He makes a way and gives you a new start.
If that sounds like you today, I pray you're reinvigorated with hope.
