What I Believe...

One of my favorite blogs is "He and She Eat Clean." I love their clean eating recipes and motivational blog! Recently, I discovered one of the personal blogs of one of the authors ~ @Tiffany Staples. Her blog is such a good read for faith, training, and fit mommy hood!

She wrote a post about what she believes about our faith, training, and her body. I could not have said it better. Tiffany, I am giving you all of the credit on this one! I could not have written his as well as you, so I am quoting you! Every word that she says is how I feel about training, my faith, and my husband!

What I Believe...
"First and foremost, I believe Jesus Christ is Lord. He was created in the image of God, came to this Earth to spread the gospel and paid the ultimate sacrifice for my sins, your sins and the sins of others when he was crucified on the cross, buried and rose to ascend to Heaven to his rightful seat next to God.

I also believe that my body is precious. I am perfectly made by God to what HE wanted me to be. I MUST be cognizant of the fact that I cannot permanently change certain things about my body as in eye color, height, etc but I MUST also understand that the body He gave me is a gift. A gift that I must take care of by working out physically to be as healthy as he intended for me to be, to reveal what he intended for me to look like and for me to have the strength and physical ability to carry out His work.

My body is not only my gift - it is also my husband's. Although I see nothing wrong with taking pictures of a body that I have worked hard to possess, I understand that my body is a gift for my husband to view, privately. On my site, you will NOT see any nude or implied nudity photographs or in any way make sexual gestures or references in photographs. I WILL inspire women with my physical accomplishments but will NOT compromise my Christian integrity to do so.

With all of this said, please understand that my feelings and convictions are MINE. They may not be yours and I respect that and I love that about YOU! I will be your biggest cheerleader, but please understand that I may not want to partake in the same activities/actions you are. Please be respectful in return."

Ah! See? Perfect. Our beliefs are ours. We don't "look down" on anyone else for how they live their lives and we ask that no one "judge" us for ours. We trust that God gave us this passion of fitness and nutrition to inspire others and glorify Him. We respect every one's feelings as their own and would not "push" ours on anyone else, but if we can help anyone with fitness and  nutrition then we are more than happy to help!
