Today Inspire! looks a little different.  Every person who has a shared their journey has shown how different their  stories are and yet they have all experienced a point where they realized something needed to change.  That is the one common factor in each of their stories…something needed to change.

Let’s take a look at a few quotes from our WSWE friends:

“In my heart, I knew my problem wasn’t weight gain—it was a loss of faith that expressed itself through a loss of self control with food.” – Jamie

“I believe my success in this battle is in surrendering my images, expectations and desires to HIM…” -Nanette

“In my heart I knew that I needed to make changes to my lifestyle in order to better myself and live healthier.”  -Jennifer

“… giving up isn’t ever an option.” -Delia

“I did want to be strong even if no one else could see it!” – Betty

Who do you most identify with?  Whose story has spoken to you?  And are you at the place many of us have been in and “something needs to change?”  What is holding you back from doing it?  Can I encourage you to, just like those who have shared, decide to do something today?  Not tomorrow…Today. I say this in full liberty knowing God is doing a work in me and giving me the strength to move forward but the key is…I had to move and that was my change!  Don’t be overwhelmed with the BIG PICTURE…it takes one step!  Say no to an unhealthy snack, walk for five minutes or just plan your meals for tomorrow.  God will bless your journey but first you have to accept the challenge!

Be encouraged today…We can do this…The best is yet to come!
