The journey

 It may be a cliche that life is a journey...but the last several months have really proven that to me. I have been on a journey to reclaim my health. after 7 abdominal surgeries and being overweight most of my adult life - I decided enough is enough - so i joined the Body by vi 90 day challenge. With the challenge - a great exercise plan and help for God - i have been able to shed 70 pound and over 48 inches. I am by no means done yet.

But it not just my health journey that has changed these last few months. By making a conscience effort to focus on the positive things in my life - the changes I was making - I also found other changes I needed to make - I needed a spiritual transformation. I have been saved and a christian most of my life. I went to church regularly and prayed on s somewhat consistent basis - you know - when I needed something - not good.

I have used the last few moths to also transform the way i look at god - I am reminded of the song - I am a friend of God - the chorus goes:
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God - I am a friend of God - He calls me friend...

Why did I bring up that song because that is how I have transformed my relationship with God - i talk to Him now like a friend. i reach out to Him for everything - i truly pray without ceasing - and it has made so many areas of my life better.

So if you are thinking about transforming yourself - don't forget your spirit too - it may need a little transformation!!
