IF:LOCAL

IF:Gathering 2015

This Past Weekend Feb 6-7 I attended an IF:Gathering, Local Event at Zeeland Reformed Church. I honestly didn't really know what I was getting my self into. I didn't really do any research before hand or look up the event to see who the speakers were or what things were going on at the event I just signed up and went. 

What is the IF:Gathering ? The simplest way I can put it is just a Gathering of women asking God to come into there lives, a Gathering of women who are striving to find purpose, fulfillment, love, peace, patients and ultimately GOD in their lives. 

Now I don't consider myself to be a great writer, putting together words in such a way that they weave together a beautiful story. But I do want to share a few things from the weekend. I snagged a few images from the IF:Gathering Facebook page to help show the purpose and powerlessness of the IF:Gathering weekend. 





This weekend was one that marked many of our lives with transformation. 
Use #IFstory & comment below with your step of faith. 

IF God is real, then _______.



So I am just going to finish up this post with sharing sharing what I wrote on my stone.. sharing what my step of faith is. 

If God is REAL then MOVE  #IFSTORY, The Title of my Blog is Love to MOVE MI. Now at first the title of my blog was simply Move as in the physical act of moving. I love to exercise and run so it made sense to me. Seemed like the perfect name. However after this past weekend my word and the name of my blog holds more meaning. I want to MOVE forward for God... I want him to show me where to go next, what to do next in life, in business, in using the blog to talk and share with people. Not really sure where that will take me but I am excited to find out. 

What is your Word.. Comment and Share  *IF God is real, then _______.

P.S I would like to give a huge THANKS to the ladies who organized our IF:Local Event they put a lot of time and effort into making the evening run smoothly.

Fight the Mid-Winter Blues

Here's another fun race coming up February 21!! Bundle up and find some friends to run and just have fun. GVSU Running club will be present and ready to race no matter the weather. 




Love Your Body

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and spring is right around the corner (well hopefully), which makes us start to think about Spring Break and warmer weather. Warmer weather gets us of thinking about warm weather clothing that is not involving giant sweaters. Now, Valentines day celebrates love; loving our friends, family and significant others, but what about ourselves. I found this little saying and I thought it would be perfect to get my point across. Every person and body is different, which makes us who we are, but many times we are not happy because we don't look a certain way. This is very hard and I admit I feel the same way.  What helps me is to know why I exercise; I exercise to release stress, hangout with friends, spend time with my sister and just have fun. I exercise to feel healthy, but it's easy to mush this into something that is unhealthy when we start to compare ourselves and start unhealthy habits to get to what we think we need to look like. To love our body is to love everything about our selves and to just enjoy the things that make us happy and feel good. We can use these days leading up to Valentines to figure our what makes us feel good and then on Valentine's start fresh and love our bodies. 


Have a great week everyone!
