What happens when you start believing in things you cannot see? Suddenly things that seemed impossible become possible. I had the opportunity to speak at a Mom's Group at Westminster Chapel the other day and they left the topic up to me. As I pondered what I was going to speak about I started to ask God to show me what he wanted me to talk about. The words "Nothing is Impossible" kept coming to mind so I decided to look up the verse in the Bible Matthew 17:20 that I know talks about this. I am well acquainted with this verse because when I first opened Shine every time I would have a hard day or want to quit this verse seemed to come to mind. The verse goes like this "I tell you the truth if you have faith as small as a mustard seed you can say to this mountain move from here to there and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" Mathew 17:20.

I remember feeling overwhelmed with my body being somewhat scared and wondering if I could really get my body back to where it used to be. There were many days where I lacked belief which is crazy because I have helped tons of women transform their bodies and I know that Strength Training 2-3 days a week and following a plan works! I have watched it work hundreds of times. Yet I still had many moments of self-doubting and thoughts of "I wonder if my body will ever change." Just because I had seen change happen before didn't mean I still didn't need to have faith in myself on my journey. Here are my five ways I increased my faith and belief in myself which eventually led to getting me back in my pre-pregnancy jeans:
