Earlier this week I felt the Holy Spirit in a way that typically I feel when on longer training runs, however this time it was at my kitchen sink. In todays episode we're going to dive deeper into the meaning of GRACE and how we can sometimes miss the opportunity to fully experience HIS grace because were too focused on trying to be perfect. Then creating a surface level relationship with Jesus. Riding on our own goodness, our own righteousness and not realizing how much we truly need Him. I share this moment with you hopin that it gets to whoever needed to also hear this, as I felt He wasn't just talking to me at my kitchen sink that am <3 lets dive in sis!

God takes time to do everything right - EVERYTHING, "those who wait around for Him are the lucky ones." Isaiah 30:18 & in todays episode we are going to focus on the blessings that occur in waiting. Waiting for and on the Lord. So many times we are in such a hurry to achieve results, get, have, experience, that we forget to actually see & reveal the blessings God has for us along the journey of waiting in our fitness! How many times have you wished results would just come already? How many times have you wished it wouldn't take so long? sister, could it be that God is trying to reveal something to you, transform you, or provide blessing for you right there in the time of waiting? What if you are missing it!!! I hope this episode helps you concerning "the wait" in the journey.

sitting in church this weekend the Lord kept nudging at my heart to share some of our sermon with you and how exactly it related to our fitness journey and walk! So many times we have a personal vision of SUCCESS aka physical results in our fitness forgetting about the Godly vision we should be having that aims for SIGNIFICANCE. I go into more detail obviously in the episode but I hope this blesses you today and really makes some heart and mindset shifts about your fitness journey! also I have linked our churches sermon library and you are welcome to watch this last weeks sermon and anyyyyy from our church!! feel free to church wit meeee and my church family!!!! <3 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new-song-church-sermon-audio/id1504502979

A lot of times we view our weaknesses in this life and in our fitness as something negative, shame filled, and wrong. What if sis we looked at our weakness as actually our biggest "superpower" not because of anything we do but because of what HE does through us in our weaknesses. In this episode I dive deeper into what I mean by this post run & endorphin high energy like, passionate, and then vulnerable as I share what it means to experience such a FREEDOM in Jesus through allowing Him to work through us in our weaknesses. 

In this episode not gonna lie we are kinda alllll over the place lol! But we mainly chat about working out while pregnant, working out after pregnancy, mindset shifts that need to occur about the fitness journey and our bodies, and then some vulnerable parts of MY pregnancy and postpartum journey. I share then too how I navigated all that! so grab that coffee sister, this is a chat with Kels, out for coffee kind of episode <3 Can't wait to spend some time with you today during this episode. 

If you follow me on social media at all you have probably saw something about a 60 day discipline challenge focused on us honoring the Lord with daily habits that honor our temple! I have developed this plan in hopes to provide guidance, accountability, and opportunity for transforming our hearts, minds, and bodies through fitness with ensuring as usual that Christ is the center and foundation of the journey.

Comparison is suchhhhh a difficult scheme of the enemy to escape. Which is why I think it's so vital we cover this topic. In this weeks episode im gonna ensure to equip you with truths God says about comparison but also some steps on how to navigate comparison and not get bond to its lies! I pray this episode helps you, blesses you, and equips you when it comes to navigating the scheme of comparison that the enemy loves to use against us so often. 

This has been brought to my attention multiple times now concerning yall not sure when you are allowing excuses to get in the way of your journey and then when truly you need to just listen to your body and are needing rest!! Rest is sooooo important when caring for your temple so that's why I made sure to cover what occurs in our bodies and muscle when we give it rest & how that can benefit our overall journey. I also talk about the differences between excuses and knowing when its truly time to HOLD UP and give your body a break! As usual be sure to tag me in your stories with a screen shot or screen recording of this episode, tag me, and add you biggest takeaway! ENJOY babes!!!
