Contributor Corner Welcomes First Article!!

It's been a whirlwind of activity in my home with my two February birthday babes and workplace changes for the past several weeks. I had to intentionally make myself stop, breathe, and blog. 

A couple days ago we posted in our Contributor Corner an amazing article by my long-time friend, Andrea. She's my long time friend but here's a fun fact...she's the same age as my oldest son. And she's a long time friend because I've had the joy of watching her grow up, being a part of many special moments of her life and becoming real friends.

Her article is so good...I hope you take the time to read it. Men and women...it's for everyone.

Truth is, we always think about what we put in our bodies with relationship to food and drink. And we spend time investing in and mulling over what we do with our bodies with respect to exercise (do you wear a tracker like me?) We are always trying to tweak those eating habits or get those steps in. And I know all that has a place in our lives, but with balance.

We don't, however, always think about what we are putting on our bodies and what we are using in our environment (home, office space, cars, etc.) 

Lotions, soaps, shampoos, deodorant, sprays, cleaners, hand wash, cosmetics..the list goes on and on.

Confession. As I continue to walk out this journey of days and life I've been given I start thinking a lot more about all of this. I did plenty in my younger years to abuse. Big mistake. I didn't get then what I am beginning to really know now.

Stewardship of the body.

What goes in, what goes on, what I expose it to, how I care for it physically, spiritually, mentally. It is all important.

I'll write more on this topic in days to come. It's taken me years to really understand what "stewardship of the body" can look like. And what freedom can be found in that stewardship.

I know I have more great articles coming from contributors in the months to come. If you have a chance, please hop on over to the Contributor Corner and read Andrea's article. I am blessed to welcome it as the first one!
