John 8:58- “‘Very truly I tell you,’ Jesus answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’”

Jesus wasn’t simply saying that He existed before Abraham. He was revealing something much deeper about His identity. The name “I AM” points us back to Exodus 3, when God revealed Himself to Moses. Jesus was making it clear that He is eternal. He wasn’t merely a teacher who appeared in history. He is God. And that truth changes everything.

If Jesus is truly who He says He is, then we can trust Him with our lives.
We can trust His promises, His character, when we don’t understand, and we can trust Him when our circumstances change.

Our joy doesn’t have to come from having everything figured out. Our joy can come from knowing the One who does.

Prayer:
Jesus, You are the great I AM. Thank You that You are eternal, unchanging, and completely trustworthy. Help me build my life on who You are rather than on what is happening around me. May knowing You become the source of my joy. Amen.

Turkey, apples and hummus… oh my! 🙂

This sandwich has just the right amount of sweetness paired with a hint of savory and spice. Plus, it has a fall theme going on that makes me so happy right now.

It’s got so many delicious flavors, creaminess from the avocado and hummus, along with crispy texture from the apple slices. Plus, it holds together well. This is key because you can easily pack it for lunch. Pair it with some raw veggies or an apple, and you’ve got yourself a satisfying fall meal.

What you eat matters! And NOT eating is even WORSE.

Don’t skip out on eating. You NEED food!

Not sure about you, my friends, but I’m already thinking about all the cozy, yummy fall meals. With treats everywhere and cooler weather keeping us inside, it’s easy for a healthy routine to slip.

So... drum roll, please 🥁 — I’m hosting a new challenge: Fall Into Fitness! I’m all about healthy living and would love to help you stay on track during the busy season.

This is about consistency, not perfection. Each day, we focus on three simple habits:
👟 Move your body
💧 Drink your water
🚶 Hit your step goal

Small choices every day = big results by winter. Example goals:
🍂 8,000+ steps
🍂 60 oz water
🍂 30-minute movement

Want in? Just text FALL FIT to 505-394-9408, and I’ll send the link to our fun Facebook group and the tracker. We kick off Sept 22 and wrap up Dec 20 (the day before winter).
