🌞 Stay Active & Inspired This Summer! 🌞

Hey beautiful family in Christ! 💛

Summer heat can be intense, but don’t let it dim your light or your motivation to move your body for God’s glory! 🙌🏾 Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we honor Him when we take care of our health—body, mind, and spirit.

Here’s your loving reminder: you can stay active, healthy, and hydrated—even when it’s hot out!

💪🏾 WAYS TO KEEP MOVING (Yes, even when it’s sizzling outside!)

• Early mornings or evenings: Beat the heat by walking, stretching, or dancing at sunrise or sunset. Praise walks are a beautiful way to worship while moving!

• Indoor options: Try at-home workouts, drumstick praise fitness (you know we love it!), or join an online class with fellow worshipers.

• Make it fun with family: Turn on worship music and have a mini dance party in your living room. Get those steps in and those spirits lifted!

• Use what you have: March in place while folding laundry or do squats while brushing your teeth—every move matters!

💧HYDRATION = HOLY HABIT

Your body needs living water AND literal water! 💦

• Keep a water bottle with you throughout the day—aim for 8+ cups, more if you’re sweating!

• Add lemon, mint, or cucumber to make it refreshing and fun.

• Set reminders to sip during the day—pair it with prayer time!

🥗 HEALTHY EATING IN THE HEAT

• Choose water-rich foods like cucumbers, melons, oranges, and leafy greens.

• Go for light, nourishing meals: grilled proteins, fresh veggies, smoothies made with frozen fruits.

• Avoid sugary drinks—try iced herbal teas or fruit-infused water instead!

Let this season be a time of renewal—not burnout. Rest when needed, nourish your body, and stay rooted in Christ. As it says in Isaiah 40:31, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles…”

You’ve got this, and you’re never alone. Let’s rise up together—strong in body, strong in spirit, and full of His joy! 💃🏽🔥☀️
