Walking into July -the 7th month of the year and it is a time to “rest” in that we have done what we could in the past season and the fruit of our labour is in God’s hands. We can now celebrate completion- Of tests, planning, toiling and any other stressful thing we might have experienced up until now! We planted the seeds in our life and now we get to reap whatever that is.
May is the season for planting, which ultimately is the beginning of a new season of growth. We may not see it at first but sometimes disappearing for a while to do the work; be it study, training for a race or competition or just resting while you wait for the seeds already planted to grow is the best thing you can do. We need to always remember there are many seasons in life but there is a time for them all. If it’s a dark season for you by chance, make sure to remember that’s where the most growth happens; in the dirt/dark. That’s where we learn to trust God in the process of where we are headed next.


May Flowers
The very best part of those spring morning runs are the flowers that meet you at your resting spot.
I’m also taking time this month to learn new things, plant new seeds and focus on staying consistent in my training and self care. I hope you do too. I always find the summer gets crazy and there never seems to be time to catch up. Make sure you get outside and take advantage of the better weather and enjoy all the amazing flowers and earlier sunrises. Perfect time to get in a run before the start of the day.
This was a different kind of post for me but I truly felt led to share this story. Today, I lost another friend that although had changed their life in terms of drug addiction and alcoholism, they were dealing with the long term effects and eventually succumb to illness and passed away. It grieves me to see so many people waiting so long to get free and how it hurts so many people but with this story there is hope and with God all things are possible.
It all comes down to the things we do on the regular. If there is something amiss in our life we can usually figure it out by taking inventory of our thoughts and ultimately our actions. Let’s have a look at some things we can do daily to create a positive life no matter what’s going on in the world around us.
Fasting has become one of the top subjects for new years resolutions both for physical and spiritual reasons. If you are a fitness buff like me and also happen to be a Christ follower, you will notice how Jesus spoke of fasting in the Bible (Matthew 6 and also in the old testament ) . As there are more and more people becoming aware of God’s divine health plan for His people, science and the mainstream are just catching up to its benefits physically. Let’s not minimize the divine power spiritually it has on the believer in relation to the Father( God) but let’s go over some of the physical aspects so if you aren’t quite ready to deep dive into the divine, you can at least understand some of the reasons why Jesus said “when you fast” as in, it’s going to happen as a Holy Spirit filled believer, you will be lead to do so at some point. Real believers follow His leading in the scripture.
Here’s what you might look forward to physically from what you might consider a challenge when you first get started, and why I always recommend a new years fast starting after the holiday feasting for a reset in your body and mind. For best results in all things pray and ask for help to do it healthily and holy.
