Is This Even Enough?

You know that inner question—the one that whispers after a short workout, a skipped gym day, or a simple meal plan:

“Sexy” doesn’t usually show up in your Bible study notes.
But for the Christian woman trying to stay healthy while raising kids, managing her home, and chasing after peace—it’s time to reframe what “sexy” actually means.

The world says sexy is a certain body. A number on a scale. A fitness plan ...

Lunch often shows up like the forgotten middle child of meals. It doesn’t get the planning that dinner does, and it doesn’t have the urgency of breakfast. Before you know it, you’re standing in the kitchen, hungry, staring at random ingredients and wondering what to eat.

You don’t want to just look strong—you want to feel strong for the actual demands of your life.

Have you ever looked at your fitness or nutrition habits and thought, “I used to be so good at this... what happened?” Whether it's been a few weeks or a few years, starting over can feel heavy—especially when shame tries to set the pace.
