Body, mind and soul. They are undeniably interconnected and their conditions are dependent on one another. A healthy body is not a requirement for faith and intimacy with God, but I’ve found in my experience that when I care for the basic needs of my body, my spiritual life flourishes. What we eat, whether or not we exercise, and what we do in our free time can all help or hinder our relationship with the Lord. I can say with confidence from a God-given place of wholeness in Christ, there is a very real tie between my physical wellness and the state of my soul.

home sweet home (almost)
I moved to San Diego today. Well, partially.
I can’t quite move into my place, so I’m living with one of my future roommates for the week; but nonetheless, I am no longer a resident of Malibu.
Bittersweet would have to be the most perfect word to describe this situation. It’s bitter because I will miss the people: the girls I met with every week for coffee, the strangers at Starbucks that I had grown fond of observing, my beautiful co-workers who made me laugh so hard every time I was in the office. I will miss all of that very much.
On the other hand, it is quite sweet to be back in the place that I first called “home” after graduating from college, the place where I met my future husband and a handful of my bridesmaids, a place where I am eager to return to my church community.
San Diego, it’s nice to be back.
