The journey of health, both physically and spiritually, involves consistent effort and stewardship. By caring for our bodies through proper diet, exercise, and stress management, we honor God. Like physical health, spiritual well-being requires nourishment through scripture and prayer. Setbacks may occur, but perseverance leads to renewal and strength.My health journey has been a testament to both struggle and perseverance. At 315 lbs, my body suffered—aching joints, high blood pressure, and exhaustion. A single treadmill walk in sandals sparked change, leading to weight loss, strength, and renewed discipline. But setbacks came, and I regained much of what I lost. In 2023, I made a choice to restart. Now, in 2025, I’m back at my best, reminded that health—like faith—is a journey, not a destination.
