Before starting this story I was given permission by my brother in Christ, Steve, to share about his time between last January and this February. Steve came down last year and helped build Sunday School classrooms for Colonia Unidas. He worked hard all week and I did not realize how hard this was for him. So when he left Honduras last January 2011 he made a commitment to God and then himself he was going to get his body, the temple of the Holy Spirit, in better shape for this year. So he made a commitment to eat healthier and to exercise more. There were days he said he would be in the gym attempting to work out and just was not feeling it that day and God would bring to his mind these beautiful people of Honduras and off he went pushing and perservering as hard as he could. Well sixty pounds less later he came back to Honduras and felt so much better and not nearly as tired and exhausted in prior years. Thank you God for Steve and his commitment to you to take care of his body so he could better serve you in Honduras. So please never say you cannot do something because with Jesus Christ all things are possible. To God be the glory.
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought with a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20
