Now over forty-five pounds lighter, this wife and mother gained the self-confidence and physical strength to move, groove and lead others to God's rhythm.
It was the middle of July and I had set a start date for August 30, to begin teaching a workout class called Spirit Moves. I had exactly six weeks to work out a routine, lose some weight and gain some self-confidence. So, I kept on praying for the courage.
The day came for the first class, and only three people showed up. We did have a workout, but lets just say that God knew I definitely needed some help! So He sent a messenger to the next class, Victoria Johnson. Victoria gave me the confidence to continue, despite my inhibitions. God carried me through the panic of wanting to quit and used Victoria as His messenger to show me that I was the one He had chosen to lead this class.
Since then, Ive learned that we are all strong, but not just physically. We are full of Gods message to us. We are beautifully created in His image. He wants us to be filled with His Spirit and to share the energy we receive with our families, who deserve the very best we can give back to them.
Now, I am forty-five pounds lighter, and over thirty women have participated in the workout class I started. I have met some boundless women who have restored the temples that God created for them.
