Why I am who I Am...

 I am constantly being asked by others, where I find my motivation and how I stay on track. I very seldom eat unhealthy foods, I exercise most everyday, and to many people it is confusing how/why a 24 year old is so strict and rigid when it comes to health.

I view the health and my body different than most, which is why I am who am. I see my body as a home that God owns. One for which I must take care of. He pays the rent and owns the furniture, but has given me the keys and expects me to take care of His property...Everything I do whether good or bad represents Him, if I really am His property. Every bad choice is me choosing an option to damage that which He gave me to care for. Every good choice is me choosing to honor Him and what He entrusted me with.

My motivation is not skin deep. It reaches beyond what you can see and it connects to Someone much greater than I. That is why I am able to do it, day after day. If it was just about me, I would have given up long before...BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT ME. It's about HIM.

"Don't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for?

The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
