The Daniel Plan

In September of 2017 I stood in my closet and cried. Not because I didn't have a ton of clothes to choose from, but because nothing fit! I was so out of shape and unhealthy I didn't even want to play with our kids. Although my body was unhealthy, my faith was strong. I cried out to God (like the Israelite's) and God answered my plea by sending me The Daniel Plan. I had prayed about eating right and exercising: not to fit into my clothes, but to be able to raise my children, serve in my church, and to encourage others to do the same. After reading the idea behind The Daniel Plan I immediately ordered the chapter book and cookbook. This was exactly what I was looking for! The Daniel Plan is a faith based health program that focuses on Faith, Friends, Food, Fitness, and Focus. I have exercised and tried to cook healthy in the past, but I did it without prayer and failed miserably! This program was different than anything I had ever seen because it was written based on the Bible and God's word. Prayer and depending on God for my health and to show me what to eat were missing in all of my "get fit plans" in the past. God is always faithful to give us what we need to grow closer to Him and to be able to encourage others to do the same. The Daniel Plan has helped me to do both. Through prayer I have been able to learn how to eat to fuel my body and to exercise on a consistent basis. I encourage you to pray about your own health and try reading The Daniel Plan 40 Days to a Healthier You. You can purchase this book for $4.99 from Christianbook.com.
