"New Year, New You?"

This is a saying that many people begin to say around this time of year.  The new year is a great time to start over and set new goals… but can’t we do that all year around?  Don’t get me wrong I think using the new year as motivation to achieve new fitness goals or grow in our spiritual lives is great, but we don’t always have to put off till tomorrow what could be done today.  Lots of times we, including myself, lack motivation to take that first step towards a new goal that we have or simply think we don’t have time.  Well I want to encourage each and every one of you to take that leap of faith and and go after the goals that you have always wanted to achieve. If you haven’t begun yet you can start today and give it your best to make a lifestyle change, not just a temporary change.  I totally understand that this is easier said than done.  Find someone in your life that is positive and that can build you up, encourage you, and push you.  If you are struggling to find someone like that in your life I would love to be that person.  Feel free to message me on instagram @countingblessingsandreps and we can journey along both our fitness and spiritual journeys together!

2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”  This bible verse is so relatable to the new year and new goals.  In our fitness journey we are able to start over and change our old habits and old ways of unhealthy eating or not exercising our bodies.  We are also able to leave behind our old ways of the world and follow Jesus.  I have never seen anyone try to get in their best shape before ever going to the gym… so why do we try to get everything in our lives perfect before we go to Jesus?  We depend on going to the gym to help up get our physical bodies into shape.  So let’s start depending on Jesus to get out spiritual lives into shape.  Everyone has to start somewhere.  Why don’t you start today?
