Jessie, what's the first thing I should do when starting my healthy journey? . . I get this simple question a lot. There are many great small steps we can take physically to start and jump start our health journey, such as: • Workout 3x/week • Eat veggies at every meal • Drink 80oz of water • Do a cleanse • Find an accountability partner/community . . But you know what I believe is the very, best first step? We must ASK GOD to join us on our journey, daily. . . The Bible tells us over and over to ask for wisdom. We need to ask for God’s wisdom, revelation, and intervening power to be an integral part of our daily, healthy choices. . . —- Why not make this a daily prayer, first thing in the morning, “God, I recognize I am made for more than the vicious cycle of being ruled by food. I need to eat to live, not live to eat. So, I keep asking for Your wisdom to know what to eat and Your indwelling power to walk away from things that are not beneficial for me.”
. What I am learning in 2019— Anything beautiful, anything great, any God result we want in life, has a process. And we would be silly to think we would be the only ones to skip the process. . . ✨God doesn't give us dreams to taunt us, but to give us direction. . . ✨But when we give a due date to our dreams when God already has a due season, it can be easy to get stuck and discouraged, thinking that we are not making progress or that God did not come through on His promise. . . This is a trap. You know why? . . ✨Because just by not quitting on your dream, not quitting on your vision and not quitting on your purpose in life IS progress. . . ✨The waiting season is the time to prepare for what you expect. If you expect God to move, then you be ready for when HE DOES because there will be a quickly and a suddenly to your release, without warning. #BeReady . . ✨There is no timing like His timing. He is the Alpha and the omega. Beginning and The End (Revelation 22:13). The bible talks to us about seasons. There is a season for everything. . . ✨God is so specific about when and how He orchestrates thing. He has not forgotten about you! . . ✨DELAYED IS NOT DENIED. What He spoke to you, He will fulfill. Just have to wait on it. Be of good courage and expect!
#MotivationMonday How many of you have started a new program, new course, or new routine and then find yourself back binge watching your favorite TV rerun on Netflix with your favorite ice cream a few weeks, or days, later? Asking for a friend :) . . The truth is, if we do not create new, healthy habits, then our bodies are going to fall back into our old, comfortable, not-so-beneficial habits. Not saying Netflix is bad, but five hours a night binge watching with ice cream can hinder your progress in creating a healthy lifestyle. . . This week in our community we will be talking about the importance of creating beneficial habits that will not only get you started, but keep you going! . . .—- join FREE community of women with the link in profile!
{Transition, seasons, and what's next} . I shared a little bit on Monday how the summer season is a tough one for me in Arizona. It could be the fact that I walk into an oven every time I head out the door, or that I see my family in Washington enjoy the outdoors while I am just try to survive walking to my car. . Either way, this is what I know about seasons: . 1️⃣They do not last. We go from season TO season on the calendar and season TO season in our life (single to dating to engagement, etc. And the many seasons in between.) And we go from glory TO glory (2 Cor. 3:18). . 2️⃣There is always a transition in between seasons. Season TO season. Glory TO glory. TO= Transition. . . There is a time period that God uses between seasons to prepare us for the next. Not many people are fans of this because it usually, ok always, requires waiting on God for the next step. Ain't nobody has time to wait, am I right? However, I am also discovering just how critical this time frame is to prepare us for God’s bigger plan. . . ❤️If we want God results, we need to go through a God process. . . And this is where I am at right now. I am in the transition process from one season to another in my business, relationships, dreams, and my faith, and I could not be more excited about what God has been revealing to me for this next season of my life. . . At the beginning of the year I had no idea what God had in store for me in 2019, and if I am honest, it is not at all what I am experiencing right now. But you know what? I am more excited and expectant than ever to see what God has in store for me and for you! . . With that, I am so excited to take you along this transition journey and into the next season with Treasure His Temple. . In the next few weeks I will start to unfold some new projects, new ideas, new programs (health, fitness and faith), and new spirit-filled encouragement to help lead you into a deeper relationship with Jesus and in turn, a more holy, healthy and loving relationship with yourself and others. . • ❤️Not part of the Treasure His Temple Community?
