Glorifying God with Movement

It was December 22nd, 2014 and I vividly remember looking at my newborn for the first time and thinking my life and my body will never be the same. If I’m being honest, those thoughts were coming more from a place of fear rather than a place of joy. A place of knowing I would immediately begin making adjustments to a new routine that involved this new little life God had so graciously blessed me with. A place of refinement.

You see, I started to prioritize fitness in my life when my father passed away suddenly at a young age. It became an outlet, a stress reliever and most importantly a motivation to live the earthly life I knew God had in store for me. When I entered motherhood I had no idea how I would find a balance of these two worlds. Now as a mother of 3, I’ve made many adjustments in each season I’ve experienced thus far to find that balance and know I will have to make many more as my girls grow and seasons shift.

Here are three practical tips on prioritizing your personal health as a mother in any season.

My hope is that you found these words to be uplifting and encouraging. Know that whatever season you are in, God will provide a way for you to focus on your health. Make it a priority and a responsibility, not just for you but for those who love you as well.
