Sweet Strength Fitness Studio

Great Christian guide on uniting physical and well-being. Lots of wisdom from Justin Whitmel Earley.

Seasons in life. I used to walk on the beach every morning before work. The time was spent in prayer, questions, reflections, dreaming and my challenges. Challenges that were placed before me in that season of life. I walked rain, cold, or heat. I walked and wrestled with the Lord. Since we moved I no longer walk on the beach before work. Its been about 4 years since I have walked on the beach before work. However, this morning I was afforded the opportunity to walk and embrace the beauty of our creator. It was beautiful, but different. Much different. It was indeed a different season in my life. The old was not there, the feelings, the thoughts, the old challenges, they had lost their hold on me. I love how the Lord gives us new seasons, new challenges and growth. There are seasons in each of lives that we must walk through, not over, not around, but through. Every season has its joys, sorrows, celebrations, and losses. But, if you surrender to the Lord's work in your life and carry his yoke instead of your own. You will discover that every season is meant for your growth and His glory. He is making you new. You are being sanctified. Its a long process. It is a difficult but joyous process. I love how Dallas Willard states it, grace is opposed to earning not effort.

Happy Saturday! Praying this for all my brothers and sisters in Christ this morning. You cannot separate the two. Body and soul. Enjoy your day. It is a gift.
