[vimeography id=”4″] The STRUGGLE at over 300 lbs was real for Angela but she realized that the REAL STRUGGLE was not making life changes and living intentionally within God’s designed boundaries, it was carrying the EXTRA WEIGHT of a FULL GROWN ADULT and all the mental and emotional baggage of the battle within! Forget what […]
Joy Awaits…
February 15, 2016 by
The question the Father asks that cuts directly to the heart of finding JOY is: “Do you trust Me?” The doctor delivers the news that your husband, wife, or child has cancer… Do you trust Me? Things at work have slowed down and they will have to let you go… Do you trust Me? My spouse has […]
Get Out of Your Comfort Zone!
January 21, 2016 by
I was quickly approaching the “Big 40” and was ready to make a change. The grandfather I never knew had passed away of a heart attack at 55.

February 7, 2015 by
Angela Morrell has done in the past 2 years what she and so many others have tried repeatedly, but never been able to do. She has chosen to live in the boundaries that God has designed for her one day at a time. The result has been amazing. Her body has used the stores of energy […]

Did I just run a half marathon? On October 11, 2014, I did run a half marathon. I ran 13.1 miles! What? That’s crazy! I am still trying to wrap my mind around that. You see, 22.5 months ago I weighed 316 pounds. I had spent the majority of the previous 20 years weighing around […]
It Works!
