God has given me a tremendous gift to help those who are overweight or obese; and I have a deep love for you and an understanding that the extra body fat you are carrying is not all your fault. I take the excess body fat that you are faced with very personal, because it affects your health, self-esteem, longevity, and quality of life.  My desire is to see you be in health and prosper even as your soul prospers.

 

I know from a lifetime of experience that what has been missing is a complete answer that really works.  Over the years God has given me a biblical, scientific solution that works and we have been privileged to see thousands of lives changed and transformed to the glory of God.  In the beginning of the ministry I asked God to help me to help those who are searching for an answer, struggling, or feeling hopeless and He placed a deep passion in my heart to pray for them on a daily basis.

This journey to being transformed is very personal.  It is a journey to discovering who you really are and by following the program will lead you into the secret place of God that Psalms 91 talks about.  In that place God will begin to share secrets with you about yourself and you will learn things about yourself that you didn’t realize were there.  I know this because we hear it from people all of the time.  People share with us their personal experiences. Some people tell me in person. Others send me an email. Occasionally, I receive a very personal letter from someone that details their journey through healing, health, and transformation.

During a Faith & Fat Loss Personal Training Certification that I was teaching I met a young woman named Anna.  After the event Anna made the decision to follow the Faith & Fat Loss program for her physical and spiritual health.  Over the next few weeks, I will share with you Anna’s Journal. She wrote a journal every day during the 21-day Jump Start program. Then, she sent me the journal, letting me know that I could share this with everyone.

As you read, you will discover how Anna succeeds, and suffers setbacks. You will see her faith in action and how she is tested and tried.

This is such a personal journey and I am blessed that she is willing to share so we can be uplifted, be strengthened, be transformed and lose the extra body fat.

I personally invite you to comment. Ask questions. Share your experience. I know that Anna will be interested in your thoughts. We will all want to see how much this program means to you.

To get things started, let me share the beginning of day one:

 

Day 1 – I woke up excited about the challenge before me, but fearful that I didn’t have what it took to complete it. The memories of past diets that had failed were haunting me – telling me this one too would just be another "phase" in my lifelong struggle with food. And then I read the memory verse for the day.  Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”  It’s as though God already knew the thoughts that would fill my head this morning…”

 

I hope you will come with me and Anna through this personal journey. – Pastor Ron
