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.

Day 11 - Post your favorite picture ever taken of yourself.
This picture was taken in November 2006 during one of the darkest times in my life. Struggling with anorexia, low self-worth and borderline depression, I was at an all-time low. However, this photo managed to capture what looks like the most joyful time of my life. I love it because it’s a reminder that through the Lord, we can have joy in our sadness and glimmers of light in our darkness.
“He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. (Psalm 40:2)”
