The story of the grateful leper found in Luke 17:11-19 is part of my story.  I remember reading that passage years ago and asking God to make me whole like that grateful leper. It’s been my prayer ever since.

The bulk of my story is that of the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:24-34 & Luke 8: 43-48) for I too have suffered from an issue of blood for 12 years. And have also asked God to heal me from that.

12 years ago, I gave birth to the sweetest boy. Like my other pregnancies, it was physically a beautiful experience. But emotionally it was the hardest of my pregnancies. No one wanted this child. I spent my entire pregnancy emotionally alone, fighting for my son. My husband refused to even speak to me. I also spent my entire pregnancy looking for a doctor that would try to deliver vaginally. When I couldn’t find one, I settled for the doctor I trusted most and within a week, I was at the hospital preparing for a cesarean I did not want. I have suffered physically from the after affects of that surgery. And it was not until 11 years later when I started with fitness sisters, did my body begin to physically heal.

Shortly after my son was born, my husband went in for a vasectomy. This decision deeply hurt me. I had always dreamed of having 6 kids. And at 31 years of age, I was not ready to close the chapter on potential future children.

I nursed my son for a year, he was 15 months old when my menstrual cycle began back up and it was worse than the bleeding period after birth. Years passed and what I had once hoped and expected to get better with time, only grew worse and more painful with the years.

Fast forward to yesterday morning when I had a personal coaching session with Nissa Salas. It was day 2 of another nightmare menstrual cycle. Except for God and his angel Nissa. I had an incredible healing journey/ experience in that session. I immediately noticed a change in my cycle and was hopeful that I would begin to see a long term change in my cycles. I was not prepared for the miracle this morning on day 3. My womb has been healed! God said I’m healed. And as I breathed that truth in, He brought to mind the stories of the grateful leper and the woman with the issue of blood. For I have been made whole! My issue of blood has been healed! The prayers I’ve spoken for years and have held in my heart have been answered! Thank you, Nissa, for being willing to be used by God. It’s my 43rd birthday today and I could not have received a better gift. It is the literal start of a new year for me.

Prior to meeting Nissa I had a break up and then a move in location from Oregon to New Mexico and I had lost motivation to exercise then I hurt my ankle and was gaining weight because I know now I had given up hope of loosing unwanted weight and getting heavier.  I was recommended to swim with fins by a health professional and I was gaining confidence in my exercise with swimming however wasn’t eating any different.  Then on FB I seen this hot looking women that looked like me and her before and after and that picture of Nissa got me to thinking I just wonder if she would be able to help me lose weight.  Long story short she has I have lost 31 pounds, and approaching 5 dress sizes lost.  I now know when I am emotionally eating which she works with you to give you tools to get through those times and sometimes you start over the main things is results can give you back the hope that there is away to live and eat healthy and normal food and loose weight I would recommend Nissa and her skills to you if you want away to loose and keep weight off and regain your health be stronger physically and emotionally.  It takes time however you are worth it.  Take the steps and don’t look back and you will succeed with Nissa on your team.😊🌸

I had stopped trying to eat differently because I felt hopeless of finding a plan that I could be normal.  Put that in where had given up hope.  That is more true.

Dear God,

Thank you for my amazing body. Please forgive me when I forget how miraculous it is. I thank you for my eyes that can see, my ears that can hear, my legs which can move. Sometimes I’m hard on myself and I’m being that way, I realize that I’m cursing my body. Those moments don’t serve me and they don’t allow me to progress and make changes.

Please forgive me when I use my excuses to get in the way of my results. Remind me that I am the only one that can improve my situation. I have all of the tools I need in my Fitness Sisters group. I have all the workout routines, the accountability and the camaraderie. I have a safe environment for which to share.

Help me to be grateful daily for what I have(health), while I move forward to work towards a fit body. I know that my daily gratitude will motivate and take me further.

CONGRATS TO Paula S. for changing the need for 3 medications for obesity! She said adios to diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol all while participating in group training. She is thrilled to remove the side effects if conventional medication and reverse her diagnoses.

Paula traded sweets (candy and ice cream) for her favorite foods ( to include fruits in smoothies). She  substituted her excuses for results. Paula gave up an obese future for health, wellness, and longevity. 

Paula gave up “growing older” for “growing younger” and is dressing bolder and prettier these days. At 52 she appears 42 and has the energy of a 32 year old.  I can only imagine her doctor’s look while reading her results!!! He immediately asked what program she was on and if he could join(too bad for him because the group training program is only for us girls!).
