The Word of God has plenty to say about eternity! We understand from God’s word that while this life is a gift, we are simply visitors passing through on our way to our final and perfect home with Him. But, how often do we really live that way? It is easy to forget that the Lord looks at the heart and find ourselves being overly focused on our bodies – our weight, our size, our cellulite, I could go on and on!

It’s especially hard because the world is obsessed with the body! Just walk through a bookstore and it won’t take long to realize that we truly are living in a body obsessed world.

To be very candid with you, this has been a struggle for me recently too. As a health coach and a publicly outspoken voice on exercise and healthy living, I find myself easily getting sucked into the pressure to look a certain way. Now, don’t get me wrong, our bodies are the dwelling place of the Most High God, so it is important for all of us to care well for them, but it’s so easy to go overboard and accidently hop on the body-obsessed bus with the rest of the world.

The Lord has been captivating my heart lately with a strong awareness of just how important it is for me to be purposeful about living for the Spirit, for heaven, and with eternity in mind! After all, these bodies will pass away – they will – and what will matter, all that will matter is what we did with the name of Jesus.

That’s why starting January 8, 2015, I’m inviting all of you to join me in a commitment to be spirit focused this year! I am praying that with this commitment God will do incredible things and move in huge ways in the hearts and lives of His children! Will you join Katie and I as we commit to a Fit Spirit in 2015? Stay tuned for more details!
