The Body is The Temple

In 1 corinthians 6:19-20 the bible says "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." I have always remebered this and i have worked to make my body the best it can be. Ever since I was 15 i have worked out, and in the past two years i have busted my butt in the weight room. i have been lucky enough to see the results, and have built my body up very well. i have gained a lot of strength from doing this, and i am very thankful for that. i have been in good shape and always been confident about my body. the gain of strength actually allowed me to compete in powerlifting. last april when i competed in asheville, i won in my division. i was very excited, and glad to be able to thank God for helping me get to where i am. it was a huge accomplishment for me and i actually set some records in my division. the win motivated me even more to improve my body and physical shape. i still work out every day in order to try to be the best that i can be.
