Joy Snuffin:  

My life has been very full to say the least. It's been a life of service which includes hairdressing (before I was 18 yrs old), taking care of my personal family, 20 years of pastoring, doing crusades in other countries (with my ex), teaching in the Christian School, showing custom homes and back to cleaning toilets again with a 'cleaning business' I started when I saw the inevitableness of the divorce coming (after 32 years of marriage 4 children, 8 grandkids)! You just keep smiling and love life as the full circle comes around. It's my life passion to know God intimately; that I may 'day by day' learn more about His love as I read His word, pray and practice it. That relationship alone is the catalyst for all my aspirations and though I fall so short of my own expectations it remains the driving force behind all I do. It's my constant hope and prayer that as I draw closer to Him my perspectives will change and I will be able to communicate much more effectively to those around me just how special, valued, treasured, loved and of utmost importance they are to God. Working out to exercise my body is an integral part of my life because we are created a tri-part creature and I'm always endeavoring to keep a proper balance body, soul and spirit. For me exercising has served as a 'visual reminder'. I started in it the 90's and from the very onset I began seeing the spiritual parallels. God took what I could see developing before my eyes through decision, discipline and determination and taught me so much through the visual process about the value of exercising in godliness. He has used it to put a deeper passion in my heart to exercise for an 'eternal good' as I've recognized that no matter if it's natural or spiritual it takes God to do the 'miracle part' and form the muscle so learning to depend on Christ Jesus has become the most precious and valuable asset of all. ...Expand for more
