definitely not too late! Today marks the very first day of
summer and there are something that you can do to get in
shape and become the healthy you, you've always wanted

It is actually God's will that we exemplify health in each and
every area of our lives (spirit, soul, and body). 3 John 1:2 NLT

are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit." Remember,
your body is the vehicle that drives your purpose in live. Without a
healthy body, fulfilling God's ultimate purpose for our lives will
be a challenge if not an impossibility.
