For 26 years, I wrestled with rejection, self-idolatry, and a desperate need for approval. I placed my identity in everything but God—my appearance, success, relationships, and even sex. I tried to earn my worth, but no matter what I achieved, I was still empty. That void? Only Jesus could fill it. What I truly needed was the love of God—and when I encountered it, He changed everything. He saved me.

“You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.” — Jeremiah 29:13

 

​

Even after being born again, I believed I had to clean myself up to stay worthy of God's love. I slipped back into striving—thinking if I followed all the right rules, I could earn His favor. I thought performance would lead to freedom, but it only led to deeper bondage, shame, and condemnation. I didn’t really know God—I was chasing what He could do for me.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” — Ephesians 2:8–9
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 8:1

​

That same striving showed up in my fitness journey. What began as a desire to feel strong and healthy slowly turned into vanity. I wasn’t training for wellness, I was chasing a body to feel worthy and validated. I was more focused on how I looked than how I was truly doing.

And the truth is, it’s entirely possible to look healthy on the outside, but be deeply unhealthy on the inside. I looked "put together," but I was spiritually dry, mentally overwhelmed, emotionally numb, and disconnected from God. Outward fitness meant nothing when my soul was exhausted and my heart was far from Him.

But everything changed when I stopped striving and surrendered. I came face to face with my need for a Savior. That’s when I received the truth: salvation isn’t earned—it’s a free gift. It’s not about checking religious boxes but resting in what Jesus has already finished on the cross.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
“It is finished.” — John 19:30

​

Grace taught me this: God’s love isn’t earned. It’s freely given.

“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8

​

Now, I want you to experience that same freedom, surrounded by sisters in Christ.

This community exists to help you grow in your relationship with God, navigate life, and honor your body through health and wellness—not out of pressure, shame, or the need for validation, but from a place of knowing you are already loved, seen, and accepted in Jesus.

Because as 1 Timothy 4:8 reminds us:

“Physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”

​

Together, we’re learning to live whole and free; not by striving, but by surrendering.
And you’re invited, sis!
