Over 12 years ago God invited me to do something different…to start teaching fitness–the thing that I loved so much–from His perspective.
My response: “No way! Never! No, thank you, God. Find yourself another fool.”
That’s the Gospel truth right there. There was no way I was going to do something like that. Something that might cost me everything. And here’s another truth–it has cost me everything–everything I never knew I didn’t need. It has cost me the people or the things I used to define my own self-worth and the principles I practiced in order to establish the kingdom of Alisa. It cost me my pride.
Thank God He is relentless about his plans for us, his plans for our hope and for our future. He never gave up on this fool. Like a sturdy, kind gentleman, He kept inviting me to trust Him for more than my little kingdom could offer. I had yet to fully understand the gift of our bodies and how they reconcile to the even greater gift of our salvation and restored identity as a child of God, our King, the King of Kings.
I am still learning, and we (the Revelation Wellness Instructor community/family) will not stop listening, seeking, and finding. We are just getting started. It’s an exciting time to work this field–His field of faith and fitness.
This video was presented to me yesterday and it took my breath away. THIS is what God does when we say yes to the things we think are impossible or implausible. I dare you to watch and not call us fools. Since a fool is defined as someone who acts imprudently….yup…that’s us. We are not concerned about our consequences for making God famous.
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31
