Did You Know Our GLOW Instructors are Certified GFI’s? 😱 Long story post alert, but worth it ‼️📣
Last weekend, some members of the GLOW-God Leading Our Wellness team packed up our sneakers, put on our GLOW shirts, and headed to the “SCW Mania Fitness Conference” in Orlando. We were immersed in fitness education, inspiration, and LOTS of movement! 💪 And when we say movement... we mean LOTS OF MOVEMENT! For 3 full days we learned, trained, stretched, danced, lifted, sweated, and yes... became so sore that sitting down and standing up became almost an Olympic event, wink-wink 🚽….. yes, the struggle was real 🤣!
But if we’re being totally honest, we felt like very small fish in a very big sea. What was a little ole women’s fitness ministry like GLOW doing at a large secular fitness convention in Orlando FL? We were way out of our comfort zone . Thoughts of insecurity and “did we belong” flooded our minds😕. But we chose to hold our heads up high, be brave, sport our GLOW shirts with a smile and confidence and showed up anyway!
And then, something beautiful began to happened.😇
People started asking about our shirts.
“What is GLOW?”
“What does God Leading Our Wellness mean?”
“Who are you all with?”
“Where are you from?”
Those simple questions opened doors for conversations about our ministry, our mission, and most importantly... Jesus✝️. We weren’t small fish in a big sea, we were shining lights in what sometimes can be a very dark industry! At a largely secular fitness conference, God gave US opportunities to be a light. What an honor 🙏.
You see, sometimes God intentionally places us in uncomfortable situations.
Not to punish us.
Not to embarrass us.
Not to make us feel inadequate.
It’s often in the uncomfortable places where our faith grows the most. It’s where we discover that we don’t have to fit in because we were created to stand out. And what a privilege it was to represent GLOW and most importantly, to represent Christ. ❤️
