Grace Changes Everything

Only those on their own personal development journey will fully understand my experience.

I have become unapologetic for who God created me to be. He did not intend for me to reach everyone, He created me to reach those who need my unique walk, if I water that down I wont be fully doing the work I was created to do.

I have been a Beachbody Coach for 2 years now but I would say that I have been actively working my business for about 6 months. It was not until I started to get real with my goals, roadblocks and commit to what I am trying to build, that things started to happen for me. Every season has a purpose. This business has caused me to evaluate literally every area of my life and realize I have only been giving most of life, 50% of what I actually have to offer.

The work we do in our workouts and nutrition, we do in our everyday life.

My physical muscles are growing but the really cool amazing muscle development is in my mind and heart. I am getting this from my walk as a coach because more is expected of me and so I need to rise. I needed to be different in my marriage and I can see the fruit of that change, I needed to be different for my children as we learn to homeschool and I am seeing the fruit of that in their behaviour, I needed more disciple in my nutrition and that is strengthening my confidence, faith and mental clarity to keep going, I needed more discipline in my finances and my skills are being applied there too.

This work requires that we learn as business owners, to run our bodies like a business first, so we can show up in our business and create real, life changing impact for others.

“Lead by example.” This phrase is tossed around all the time, was I really doing this? I can say now, I honestly was not. I am not perfect either, never will be but God’s grace abounds and I will continue to turn back to Him in all my sinful natures and allow His loving discipline to guide my path.

This all started to happen for me when I started to actually face all the hard stuff in my life and fully accept the grace of God over those situations, so then I could live free in the mess and actually create progress, not just sit in the circle of hitting the same walls over and over again. I needed the help of a loving faith filled community to help me on this walk too, we are not designed to walk this road alone. The gifts of many beautiful Christian women, helped me learn to accept the grace of God on a truly healing level.

I have full appreciation and joy for any suffering now because I know God is doing something good. I also know, people need this kind of humility and grace and joy in messes because we all have messes but we were all made with a purpose and calling that tugs at us.

The enemy keeps us tied to our mistakes.

God sets us free through salvation in Christ dying on the cross.

This freedom allows me to be joyful and productive in the waiting and persevere while I keep a watchful eye for God’s miracles and where and who He needs me to serve next.

I hope this helps you. Are you ready to accept the healing grace of God and start growing?
