God is my Source

Today was the beginning of a new adventure.

I am at a different place in my fitness level that I have been in the past 4 years of working out. I am at a place where I really need to focus on building muscle, strength and agility. I have always refused to do Cross Fit because they just branded what trainers do and it's really expensive. Today, I went for a cross fit assessment at Crossfit Discovery on Daniel Island. It truly changed my life. It is exactly what I need that this moment. I need the group camaraderie. I need the challenge. I need the coaching on correct skill sets and posture. I need the accountability and intensity on a daily basis. It's exactly perfect for me in this time in my life especially with the Spartan beast coming up in just a few short months. I need to be deep into this so that Nov. 9 I don't get injured. Seriously. There's a wise way to do everything and I don't want to show up unprepared and get hurt where I can no longer teach TaeBo or have to slow down to recover. With all aspects being perfect,  the cost of 160 a month is still not perfect especially in addition to needing 350 for TaeBo(R) recertification camp in November.  I of course left that place awestruck and so in love; knowing that it's what I need in this point in my life and I quickly was reverting to "there is no way I can afford that in addition to my monthly stuff." Then I was quickly reminded by a best friend that God is my source. How true that is and I will absolutely stand on that as truth and promise. He is my source in every single situation there is.

It's so easy for us to look at our life from a lack mentality but truly truly the Lord has met so many of my needs throughout my life. Not only has he met my needs but he has met my desires. Delight yourself in the Lord and HE WILL give you the desire of your heart. He takes joy in those things. He is our provider.. not your parents, not your boss, not your pay check... HIM! He is my soul source of provision. He has provided so much for me throughout my life but especially in my weightloss/health journey as I have been seeking to love me, discover who he created me to be and do nothing but give the Lord glory and serve others/sow seeds. He has rewarded me from free running shoes back in 2009 when I first was starting, to a trainer who has selflessly given to me expecting nothing in return except to give it my all, to even today when a woman in my taebo class who has lost a good bit of weight brought me FIVE flippin lululemon jackets that don't fit her anymore! (I ALMOST PEED IN MY PANTS!) God shows off like that. Today when she brought me the jackets, it was after the moment where I forgot my provision comes from. Then I quickly reminded myself that God is my source then BAM got to TaeBo at the gym and she had that for me. What a beautiful sign that the Lord cares! He cares about what we desire and wants to provide for us in abundance if we will just receive it. God is my rock and am already claming victory and glory to Him for providing this opportunity for me as well as my recertification. To God be the Glory for the great things he HAS done and CONTINUES to do on a daily basis. He truly is my love, father, best friend and provider.
