I’m more than halfway through this 50th year of my life. As I’ve shared several times, I purposed to focus on my physical health this year. I’ve had my ups and downs with this, to be sure, but this last month my focus has finally given way to allow me to concentrate on this area of need in my life.

Eating differently has been a priority for sure, and I plan to write more about that later. I’ve also been adding in more exercises and movement, learning new ways to stretch and pushing myself a bit more, just in this last week or so. Additionally, I’ve signed up to learn more about “tapping” as a way to address the emotions connected with eating habits I have fought my entire life since I first gained weight as a five year old and since Mom and Dad put me on diets in 4th grade.

In writing this today, I simply want to testify to how God is working in my life in all of this. It seems like the planets suddenly aligned for this to be the time to truly make these changes in my life. God is enabling me and fueling this transformation. The changes may never be fully recognizable on the outside, but in my heart and mind , there is a work going on that could only be attributed to the Spirit’s work. For this, I am so incredibly thankful.
