"Fit4"-the Kingdom

Welcome and Thank You for visiting my site -"Fit4"-the Kingdom - or simply"Fit-4" 

This leap of faith is a long-coming endeavor, born out of a passion to motivate and steer people to a state of optimal wellness through proper nutrition and healthy lifestyles.  We cannot be our absolute best while in poor health. "Fit4"  will serve as a wake-up call to change; it will highlight all components of four major principles that must be incorporated into our daily lives on our journey to health and wellness -  "Relationship, Rest, Recreation & Real Nutrition". 

A healthy spirit mind and body combines to make a person whole  Balance is achieved when each of these facets are in alignment.  It displays itself as a vessel in good physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual condition ready and available for use. To understand that we are Spirit beings with a Soul housed in a Body - "fearfully and wonderfully" crafted by God, means we also accept that  although our bodies are temporal and will never (on this earth) achieve perfect balance nor perfect health,, there are things we can do to optimize our time here.

We were created on purpose, with a purpose and for specific purpose.  Sadly many people have not realized their purpose and are not walking in it because they are derailed by physical and emotional health issues. I am not referring to major debilitating illnesses but rather "things" that we allow to stop us.   These "things" render individuals us, unprepared, ill-equipped  and unfit - to do kingdom-work. Instead, when opportunities to serve the needs of others present themselves, the spoken and unspoken responses are  "too busy,  distracted, depleted, success-oriented, weighed-down, too tired, self-focused, defeated, angry, worried, drowning in debt, nutrient-deprived, over-weight, stressed-out/burned-out, obsessed with social media, disconnected from God."

The question arises - are we doing the best we can to care for our body or we are slowly self-destructing?  It's time that we "gather ourselves" - we have a sacred duty to be pro-active about the wellness of each aspect of our life.  We must pray and nurture a personal relationship with God, we must guard our temple from interior and exterior attacks, we must eat healthy meals, we must get sufficient rest, we must exercise, we must  take prescribed medications timely and accurately, we must make friends and be a friend, we must love and be loved, we must monitor our stress levels, we must save and plan for our time on this earth, we must manage our time, our finances and our interpersonal relationships; most importantly we must unapologetically schedule time to cease from labor and caring for others to simply refresh, rejuvenate & relax and love-on ourselves. 

Every journey begins with just one step; that first step is the most important one as it sets the precedent for all the next steps to follow.  Now is the time to launch your life, your body, your soul and spirit to a state of wholeness - fit! ready for service! -reflective of  the glory of the kingdom - strong, powerful, victorious, righteous, at peace and full of joy.

My role as a Certified Personal Health Coach and Nutritional Therapist is to support, mentor and guide you on your journey to optimal spirit, soul and body health through customized programs of food & lifestyle changes.  Spirituality, healthy relationships, daily exercise, a stimulating career, rest, an active social life, time and money management, peace of mind and a true love of yourself are just as important to your health as the food you eat. 

In the words of one of my favorite songs... 

"We were deemed to live a life that's beautiful. A life that's full, a life that's rich and plentiful  Our families blessed, finances blessed, Our mind and spirit and our bodies blessed. 

                 Let's get back to Eden, live on top of the world" .                                                                                    Donald Lawrence

                         I pray you are blessed by this site.
