When it comes to your health and fitness do you feel weak or ready to quit?

Do you find yourself giving less than your best in your workout or food choices?

By the power of the Holy Spirit, we can be overcomers, because we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength.

Isn’t that great?! I love how God picked me up in a weak moment when I put my full focus and reliance on Him. I hope you give it a try, friend. 

Today we make a mindset shift from our strength and willpower to be overcomers in HIS sufficiency in all things!
