Friends-
You never know when life might get crazy (like your husband falls off the roof) or the Lord might need you to help Him perform a miracle (like rescuing someone from a burning car) therefore, we NEED to be physically and spiritually prepared! The Crawfords are ready to take that step by doing a 12 week, “Fit For the Kingdom” challenge! We will improve our spiritual and physical selves by completing daily and weekly goals. The best part of this is working side by side with family and friends like you! Please join us so we can encourage each other as we develop some healthy new habits that will bless us, and others, forever!
My sister, Maryjane, just completed this challenge and was so grateful that she was even more spiritually prepared when we suffered the unexpected death of our little sister, Liza. After watching her, I realize that I need this too! I have taken a much too long vacation (almost 2 years) from regular exercise and need to get back into action again. This is not about how much we weigh or what we look like, it’s about being strong, healthy and prepared so we can help build the kindgom together!
Below is a quick overview of the challenge. We are starting on Monday, April 11th and end on the 4th of July! (much more info to come if you join us)
