When the scale won’t move, get stubborn!
Maybe not the most flattering picture of me…but it definitely exemplifies the “I will not turn back” stubborn spirit that is within me. I am a pretty stubborn little girl. Always have been. It got me in a lot of trouble pre-Jesus. I also firmly believe the Lord was not offended by this foolishness in […]
When the supplement of humility gets stuck in your throat.
* Post updated December 2022 In Need of a Rescuer Are you observing Lent this year? Whether or not you are, we all have something to be gained when we are intentional about the spiritual seasons we are living in. Just as Advent is a time of great expectation and celebration of the gift of […]
Train your fitness like a farmer.
I’m living this photo quote right now. Anyone else not able to see the fruit, but certain that you are faithful to what God is asking of you? Faithfulness eventually leads to fruitfulness. Just like a farmer who can’t see the root system underneath the soil. The farmers role; to plant, then diligently water […]
What does it mean to be marvelously ruined?
A few years back, after a Rev Fit class, I remember my friend, Nissa, coming up to me and saying, with a big sweaty smile, “I just have to tell you that I am marvelously ruined for workouts now.” In other words, once she got a taste for what workouts were really created to do: […]

The Holy Hot flash Challenge! Weight loss after menopause.
I have a feeling that there are many women, like myself, who are trying to figure out who came one night and stole their bodies. It seems like one night I went to bed strong and mighty in my 30’s and the next morning I woke up dry and crusty in my 40’s. So for […]
How to stick to a fitness goal?
“You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways” Isaiah 64:5 In one more day I will of completed my goal of reading the bible in a one year. Last year, at this time, I felt the call to lay my eyes on every page, paragraph, scripture and word […]
Strong is the new skinny. Blech..
When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you. Deuteronomy 20:1 The fitness world has coined a new phrase, maybe you’ve heard it? […]
