🧬 Physical pathway

As we close out this week’s focus on physical health, I leave you with this.

Grace upon grace, step by step, we move toward a greater thriving. Your destiny awaits yet it is also already here.
Each day is its own and you are doing great.
Never quit!

🧬 Physical pathway

As we focus this week on thriving physically, sleep is a huge component of this.
SLEEP is so important!

🌙 Make sure to implement a healthy sleep routine every night and pay attention to what your body needs for a better sleep.

“It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.” — John Steinbeck

🧬 Physical pathway

Our bodies are beautifully complex. God created a masterpiece when He made humans! From our brain to our tiniest cells, we are works of art.

Physical health isn’t just about exercise or eating. Let’s not cheapen our health by limiting us to these social obsessions.
❤️‍🩹 Physical health is seeking wholeness, daily.

✅ As you operate throughout this week ask yourself:
How do I feel in this moment?
Do I feel pain anywhere?
What am I eating?
Where do I feel strong?
Am I tired?
What is my body telling me?

👫 Social pathway

Who is your tribe?

Somehow, we pulled off a first official birthday party this year, also being parents of a newborn. This was a significant moment for our five year old. It wasn’t easy.
And it came through beautifully…because of community. ❤️ We had helpers, and we are beyond grateful.

God created man and woman (see Genesis 2) to be a helper for each other. God knew we needed others in our lives for many reasons.
It can FEEL easier to isolate…to be alone…to avoid accountability…but this isn’t the best way.

God has a different plan for us and He knows what we need.
We need each other. 🙏

👫👫 Social pathway

The value of safe, nourishing relationships with others is truly priceless.

Who are you doing life with?
Are your relationships serving you well?
Are they God-honoring?
How do you feel when you are with your tribe?

We are praying for each and every one of you.
🙏

We had an excellent Semester One of 2023 and it is now mid-summer. 😎☀️
Can you believe it?!

Let’s take a moment and reflect together:
🔹 What still stands out to me from semester one?
🔹 Where has my focus been this summer?
🔹 Which Pathway might God be calling me to reflect on further in this season?

For myself personally I am focusing on my Physical pathway. If I don’t feel well physically, I have learned I don’t operate well within my other pathways. As a current postpartum mother, I need to focus on this pathway for healing so I can thrive within my calling.
➡️ Where is your heart being called?

👫 Social pathway

In Genesis 2 we see that, from the very beginning, God created us to do life together.

Within this design, we were also created uniquely and individually.
BOTH are vitally important!

✅ Response:
🔹 Within my authentic purpose, who is currently journeying with me? Does this need to change in any way?

👫👫 Share or comment any thoughts!

🧠 Cognitive pathway

This past Spring we learned how to exterminate our negative thoughts from pastor and author, Kevin Cain, who spoke in Morgantown.

💡Are you aware of your thoughts?
It is absolutely vital that we pause daily to realize what we are thinking…and then exterminate what is negative!

You are not your thoughts. They are…simply thoughts. However, negative thinking MUST have awareness and be captured in order for us to be free of it.
📖 Romans 12:1-2

There is more to healing our cognitive health outside of reading information!

What is one of the absolute BEST ways to grow ourselves cognitively? 🌱

✅ Yes, every day.

🧠 Cognitive pathway
Hello, Way family! This week we are going to focus on our Cognitive pathway.

Our thought life means more to our life than we could ever know. It affects:
🌀 Our attitude
🌀 Our emotions
🌀 Our actions
🌀 Our perceptions of others (and God)
🌀 Our spiritual walk
🌀 Our health
And so much more…

✅ Response: Read Romans 8:6 and reflect this week:
🔹 “Am I governed by any thought that does not serve me well?”

The poem below is one of my personal favorites.
💡 How does Mary Oliver’s “The Journey” speak to you as you consider your own spiritual journey?

“One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice --
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voice behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life that you could save.”

Mary Oliver

Amazing! ❤️
We each have the capability to be a bridge of spiritual care (see article below).
🧬 It’s all connected.

New research in JAMA suggests that serious illness and public health outcomes both benefits from linking spirituality to medicine.

When we find God, we find ourselves.
