Loving God. Loving Others. Loving Self.

 The beginning of every journey is fraught with nerves and discomfort. That first step can be the absolute hardest. The first step forward in this journey is embracing my mantra. Loving God. Loving Others Loving Self. Its a play off the old adage of JOY. Jesus-Others-Yourself. Everything must come from a place of love. We're in a world that screams of the need for love, yet, so many have absolutely zero idea on how to walk that out. That is where God shows up.

Loving God:

Everything comes from Him and, therefore, begins in Him, that includes this particular journey. What journey is that? Living a life of Wholeness. To breath Him in, lean on, and adore Him in every aspect of our daily living. From honoring Him with our finances, to moving our beautifully crafted bodies, to using our time and energy to praise Him. Every breath we take is an absolute gift. Are we truly using each breath for His honor?

Loving Others:

Serving is of benefit for not only those we assist but ourselves, as well. We get outside of ourselves and focus wholly on what we can do for others it becomes very difficult to think about ourselves. It is a great cure for selfishness. As we shift our attention onto others our perspective will change. We will seek out opportunities to be helpful to others.

Loving Self:

Most mom's will attest to the fact that their needs are always met last. This needs to change. We are important to not only our families but God, also. Our health and wholeness needs to be a priority in order for us to be fully effective to all who come into contact with us. Giving ourselves a load of grace will be a breath of fresh air for others, as well.

This journey begins now. Let us move with love and grace toward a lifestyle of wholeness.

Hebrews 12:1

The Race of Faith

12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, ² looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
