A friend posted a poster on my FB wall today that read "Fitness is a big part of who I am". That is indeed true in my life, but it made me think.....is that what people notice most in me? Or, do they see the love of Christ? Or, maybe it's that I'm bossy, administrative, and task oriented. Of course, I would hope people see the love of Christ, but I know that is not always the first thing they notice. Every trial, experience, and life lesson the Lord has delivered me through has made me the woman I am today. Good choices, bad choices, obedience to Him, disobedience.....all of these have shaped me and my testimony. As I thought about the above mentioned poster and my current position as a co-leader for a Run For God Bible study, I realized that at this point in my Christian journey God is allowing me to use my fitness as a witness. Duh! I know....but, it just hit me as such a great honor that The King would allow someone like me to witness for Him in this way. I know that we are commanded to share the Gospel.....but getting to do it in a way that we enjoy, that brings us personal pleasure, and that we are so excited to share what the Word says that we can hardly contain ourselves.....now that is Awesome! Thank you Jesus for allowing me to let My Fitness be My Witness!!Thursday, March 7, 2013
