Welcome!

 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” 3 John 1:2.



In the biblical sense many people don’t see the connection between their spiritual and physical health. God gave us these vessels (our bodies) to give life and have a purpose. And while living that purpose it is also imperative to not only live for God, our family, and the people we come into contact with everyday but also to live and care for ourselves. What we ingest can have a direct connection to our mind. And if the mind is clouded then our heart also becomes clouded. Our body is the barrier that protects our spirit. A damaged body will make it harder to maintain your spiritual health.



“What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.



Each and every one of us is bought at a price. We are all an investment of God; can you not see your worth? Our body is a temple, an extension of the Holy Ghost. We are all brought forth from royalty. How amazing is that? So why would you want to pump you and your family full of processed foods, alcohol and drugs. That would be like using your brand new Mercedes in a Monster Cars show. A waste! So why treat your body, the only you get in this lifetime like trash? A body that God invested in at that. We are so much better than that, and we must do better and teach our children better.
That is what we will be learning and discussing in this blog. How to rebuild your temple so that we are able to live this life to the fullest. This will include a whole wide range of topics:
                Eating well
                Staying active
                Dealing with stress
                Health as it pertains to different body systems
                Encouraging your children to be healthy
                Being a caregiver for loved ones
                The value of rest
                And whatever the Lord leads us to discuss!



We will always use the scripture to help validate and lead our discussions.



I would like to end this welcome blog with a prayer that I am believing will help this community grow and learn.




Dear Heavenly Father we give thanks to be given another day to live this life in your likeness. We pray that this blog will evolve and grow. We pray that lives will be transformed. People will learn the skills needed to maintain optimal health so that we will have optimal spiritual and physical health. Guide us in the path that you see planned for us. Amen!
