Join In!

Since beginning the challenge, it has been overwhelming for me to see how it has inspired others to take on a fitness challenge as well. Some people who have talked to me want to gain weight, others to lose weight, and some to begin fitness for the first time. It's been really cool to see how my small story has been able to reach out and relate to people wherever they are and in different ways. Today was a great reminder of that because a lot of you who have taken on challenges of your own gave me updates on how you're doing. Thanks so much for that encouragement to know we're all working in this together.

That's how our Christian lives should be also. We should never have to face this life alone. I know I've touched on this in a previous post, but think about this: How is the way you're living inspiring someone else to do the same as you are?

As Christians, we shouldn't just be different, we should be different in a good way - contagious even. Our lives should reflect what we feel and know is true and the rest of the world should look on and be excited to join in. Is your life that way? If not, how can you become contagious and make others desire to join in?
