#Repost @father_fury Long post warning...but worth it • • • A little Easter reflection on food and the small victories: I like food and I use it as a coping mechanism. When I get stressed, lonely, depressed, bored, celebratory, or joyful, I eat. Lately it’s diet soda and candy bars. SUGAR! It has a way of controlling my mind. If I get the idea that I want a KitKat or a Diet Coke, I will drop everything and get one. It’s a personal slavery. This Easter season, I have been reading NT Wright’s book, “Surprised by Hope.” I come across a delightful quote as he wrote (I paraphrase), “We can either make choices to fill the world with hope, or we can choose to add to the brokenness of the world.” Folks, holiness is won by small victories under Christ’s conquest of evil. Because of the resurrection, we do not labor in vain. The world matters. Believe it or not, our bodies matter. We are brought into God’s Kingdom as stewards of God’s New Creation and are set apart to bring the hope of the resurrection to a hurting world. It’s the small victories that work together for the conquest of evil. Lately, I’ve thought about it in terms of my nutritional choices. (There’s a reason gluttony is one of the deadly sins!) I’m making small choices to control my appetites. Choosing that which is healing and wholesome for my body will then radiate into the world. Christ says, “You are the light of the world.” So, for me, it may mean not letting my desire for sugar make me a slave. I am not a slave to the desires of my flesh, but I am free. In the end, the little victories add up and it’s not done in vain! #resurrection #hope #weightloss #motivation #wordsofwisdom #joy #priestfit #pastorfit #swolepriest #fitness #bod4god #christianbodybuilding #transformation
The importance of recovery: My "new years resolution" this year is recovery. I can workout as hard as I want but if I don't put the proper focus on recovery then all my work ends up selfdefeating. Without recovery I become injury prone and never really gain any ground. I find this true in my spiritual life as well. Amongst time for ministry and service I need time to "be still and know He is God." Without that time to be in His presence, I wouldn't know who I am or how to love. So I challenge you to embrace recovery, set time aside, do less work if you have to in order to have that time with Him... . . . #swolecatholic #recovery #foamroller #stretch #gains #bestill #timeforGod #doless #listenmore #cobrapose #focus #Hispresence #catholic #fitness #beardisgettingcrazy #ishouldshave
