Strength Doesn’t Come from Lifting Weights

At least REAL strength doesn’t.

Sure, I lift weights (you can see my muscles). 😊

I posted this picture of me on Instagram a few days ago to promote my fitness challenge, and it got a lot of likes and comments.

Since then I’ve thought about REAL strength and where it comes from.

REAL strength comes from kneeling in prayer and leaning on God, my Heavenly Father to guide and direct me.

Last year I was struggling, and I gained so much strength from kneeling in prayer, reading scriptures and leaning on God to give me strength, guidance and direction.

He has strengthen me so much this year. 💕

I had muscles last year, but I was weak inside. I was struggling, and God gave me the strength I needed to overcome my challenges.

God is there for us. Lean on Him for strength, and He’ll put people into your life who can lift you up. ❤️

Shannon Golladay is a former competitive gymnast. She was also a dancer, runner, and a cheerleader who wanted her body back after she had kids. She found herself tired, overweight and wishing she had her body back after her first baby was born. She found a way to not just lose the weight, but also gain energy, and get toned by doing workouts and following simple meal plans at home. In December 2011, she decided to pay it forward and help other former athletes get their bodies back. She loves helping women live life with energy, purpose and drive again!
