When I began this journey with Grace and Strength my only expectation was to lose the weight and to get thin.I had seen my friend, Jonna Stout lose the weight and was keeping it off, so I had hope that it was a program that could help produce the lasting results I was looking for. I just wanted to be thin, and I wanted to feel like myself again, but it has become so much more than a diet program. It has become so much more than just a "get thin" program.

The thing that has made the biggest impact on me was the component of building discipline. At first the discipline was just about the food, but then the discipline started moving into other areas of my life.

God began to build a desire in me to honor him with my food choices, the way I take care of my body through exercise, managing my career, and the way I run my household. It has It has become a journey about striving to look more like Jesus by honoring him with the gifts that He has given me--my body and health, my work, my home, and my family.
