The funny thing is when I was talking to Alex this morning about our feelings and what not. We were discussing our weaknesses, asked him to pray for me about a certain issue and how we can quickly let our flesh take over. But we also shared how blessed we are - not referring to material things at all - being able to have God fully centered in our lives. In our home. Our fitness ministry. In our marriage and the raising of Maximus. Serving God has been our true meaning of LIFE! Serving God wholeheartedly.
Not many know our story of being saved - will share at a later time - but what I can share is we were lost. Lost in the world - Partying every weekend, lost in debt, using fitness as vanity, arguing all the time, anger, insecurities and much more! Yeah we had our home, shopped at expensive stores, traveled and enjoyed the finer things in life. I'm not saying all those things are bad, but to us it didn't bring us meaning. We can't take those things when we die.
Looking back we weren't truly living life! We were living a lie in our hearts. Until we started serving God we started to learn the value of LIFE. When Max was born we were really living life. He's become our true meaning - our purpose.
So, reading that section brought a smile to my heart. I'm not perfect. But I know when I lay my head down at night I ask God for forgiveness, to continue to increase in me and help me see the true meaning of life ❤
