My journey with Grace and Strength Lifestyle started because I was not happy with how I looked or felt, after 15 years of putting on weight. A friend at church had been losing weight and I talked with her about what she was doing. She told me about Grace and Strength, and then I looked at all the stories on the website. I thought this was exactly what I was looking for.

I followed the plan and the pounds came off so quickly! I started my new lifestyle for physical reasons but soon learned that the spiritual rewards were what was going to make the big difference in my life. Through our weekly online Bible studies, we are challenged to dig deep into scripture and meditate on what God is saying to us through His word. I discovered I was turning to food when I should be turning to God. We study about nutrition and the effects of unhealthy food choices on our bodies. We learn how exercise benefits us in so many ways. My coach, Monica, is great, she is so helpful and supportive. She has a love and enthusiasm for life that is contagious!

This is not just a weight loss program, it is a spiritual journey with many rewards. Thank you Cyndi Benson, for saying yes to God's calling to start this program to help so many of us! To God be the glory for the great things He has done for me, through Grace and Strength!

2Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.
