Several years ago, I began journaling during my time spent with God, usually in the morning as a great start to my day. I believe God is a very Present God, concerned with the intricacies of our day-to-day life. I believe He's a good, good Father--far better than any earthly father. And I believe He speaks to us through His Word and through His Holy Spirit living within.
As I journal, He speaks to me as if He's right there in front of me, and I write down what he says. This series contains excerpts from my journal. Even with differences in beliefs, I believe anyone can find some inspiration and insight. Read this as if these words are being spoken to YOU, and let them elevate and motivate you.
I have established you on a firm foundation—My Son. My Spirit is with you until the end, working out the completed work of My Son.
Nothing can come between us because of what My Son accomplished on the Cross. He embraced you, and now you’ve been adopted into the Family, grafted into the Vine.
You receive a direct supply from Me. I don’t demand, I supply so that YOU can give.
Don’t strain or strive. Don’t try to work it out within you or anyone else. Let My Spirit do the work within you. All you need to do is sit and rest and receive from Me.
In this place—the Secret Place—is restoration, peace, exceeding joy, healing, LOVE—relish this place, relish My Presence. All the while, I’m at work within you and you don’t even know it!

Hi! My name is Coach JJ and I've been coaching and inspiring athletes to better health and fitness for over five years! I'm a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer at CrossFit Edwardsville in Edwardsville, IL, USA. But, my vision is to bring together the Fitness Community on Steemit in order to have a greater impact on improving the health and fitness of our fellow Steemians.
I'm also a mother of two teens and a self-defined “spicy, sassy Christ-follower” who posts about my personal journey, but loves all those on any journey. Feel free to check out my intro post, get inspired on your fitness journey, or ponder on my faith-based posts. If any of this connects with you, follow me and say Hello!
