<p>Life is not a competition but involves many tests. The only time we should compete is with&nbsp;</p><p>the person we were yesterday to become better today. Do what you can with what you&nbsp;</p><p>have. You do not have to follow anyone else's path because yours is already set. Do that&nbsp;</p><p>thing you have been longing to do. Don't wait for a near death experience to occur before&nbsp;</p><p>you start. After being diagnosed with an illness that nearly cost her life God gave Aretha&nbsp;</p><p>the Encourager the blueprint to begin and maintain a consistent healthy lifestyle&nbsp;</p><p>approximately two years ago. God saved her; therefore she owes Him all glory honor and&nbsp;</p><p>praise. Aretha now focuses on bettering her mind body and spirit daily.&nbsp;</p><p>The purpose of this book is to let each of you know there is still hope no matter where you&nbsp;</p><p>may find yourself. Get up and get moving towards the life God created and mapped out&nbsp;</p><p>for you. This book will encourage and inspire you to pray deeper and eat healthier. The&nbsp;</p><p>testimonies will bless and propel you to a better place within.</p>
