This is something that came to me on this mornings run. I had to work out the details in my head a little longer, but I wanted to share it with you as I feel that it embodies the desire of The Grace and Strength Lifestyle coaches for themselves as well as each of you. My prayer is that you see yourself as the work of art that God created you to be. Pray Seek Believe Receive. David Michael Rose...

Starting this journey I truly had no clue what to expect. I had many emotions and I was so afraid of failing again like I had time and time again. Something was different this time...was it just the fact that I was finally, completely ready more than ever in my life, was it the accountability and coaching of the program I was starting, or was it me relying more than ever on God to do this...I think it was all of it combined! Something clicked in me, I don't even know how to explain it.

According to the dictionary, Hope is defined as: The feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best: to give hope. As I was running today, I was thinking about what this day was going to be like... I hoped that I would have the energy to last the whole day as it would be mainly a creative experience and that requires brain use and as everyone knows, brain drain can be more tiring than physical drain.

My girls...can I really call them that? Who knows, since they really aren't my girls but God's! I am just so thankful He has placed them in one of my groups I'm coaching. I am so honored and blessed to be able to help these ladies, however the Lord shows me to, to help lead them to freedom with their food issues and weight!

As a blogger, I have tracked my journey from the very beginning to now. I updated each month with how I felt, my weight loss and inches lost and instead of writing every single post I wrote during the journey, I thought I would just give you a little glimpse, a snap shot into each month and how I felt at that time by reposting a few little things I wrote each month. I know many of you reading this may still be deciding whether to start your weight loss journey or maybe you are already on it...
