Walk the Mall

It’s been about one month since I shared about my miscarriage, so I thought it was a good time to share a little overview of what the last year of my life has been like behind the scenes — as far as getting my hormones in order in order to get pregnant. You see, it took almost one full year to balance out my hormones - and ultimately get pregnant, (I share more about my story on my IG stories here). The journey was a tough one, but also one I am so thankful for, after learning that I was...
Something that can be extraordinarily valuable to both spiritual maturity and growth in healthy habits of all kinds is the development of what are called “bright line rules.” Some people tend to be put off by the idea of “rules,” while other people love having a clearly defined list of things to uphold. Regardless of which end of the spectrum you fall, it is important to recognize that healthy boundaries and guardrails are something that the Lord purposes for believers.
The intent of bright...
“For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled, bewildered]. I do not practice or accomplish what I wish, but I do the very thing that I loathe [which my moral instinct condemns].” Romans 7:15 AMPC
I don’t know about you, but I can totally relate to the struggle Paul describes in Romans 7. Why do we keep doing what we don’t want to do? Why don’t we do what it is we really want to do? In the context of making daily decisions, the answer is often… Habits. It’s not always just a matter of...
“I just need more willpower!” “I’ve lost my motivation!“ How many times have we said something similar? Likely, too many to count. Whatever healthy habit we’re struggling with, chances are we consider the main problem to be a lack of willpower and / or motivation. I’m here to tell you, that isn’t the case! You don’t need more willpower and you shouldn’t rely on motivation.
The problem with willpower is that it’s exhaustible. Think about it: how many times have you woken up with resolve and...
Have you ever felt depleted the moment someone told you to workout or discouraged because you just don’t have the motivation to get a sweat in every day? You’re not alone if you answered, Yes, and I’m here to tell you that you can let all of that go!!
One thing that God has always wanted us to do with our body was to steward it in a way that allows us to be healthy and serve in his kingdom. The bible shows us in First Corinthians 6:19-20, that we need to glorify God in our bodies. So check...
I love running. I love the feeling. I love the results. I love everything about an early morning run. Running, however, did not love me back. It was a one-sided love affair that left my body aching and broken-down. I'll never forget my last run. I pushed through searing knee pain as I prayed. I still remember so clearly hearing the Lord speak to my heart, "Sarah, you're not meant to run, you're made to walk. Walking is your perfect exercise." My heart and head wrestled. I knew it to be true,...

With the fast paced society we live in today, it’s easy to get caught up in the latest quick fix fad or diet. Each one promising FAST results or extreme lifestyle changes, but there’s a reason that they fail. Each type is encouraging an extremist mindset, all or nothing. So while some may work for the short term, most people stop or fail and can’t incorporate their new found way of life as a realistic lifestyle.
But the good news is it has nothing to do with your willpower or willingness to...
Do you enjoy working out?
A fun fact you may not know about me is that I LOVE, and I mean truly love and enjoy working out. Crazy? Maybe! But this wasn’t always the case! In fact, I used to think I could never step foot in a gym and actually feel anything but embarrassment. I was too weak, small, uncoordinated, and NOT athletic. Once I overcame those lies, I had new ones to face. I then believed exercise had to fit into a box that included burning calories and cardio machines, and that it was...
