I kept getting feedback from women that the scriptures were their favorite parts of our times together I began to realize that what God is has been teaching me about body image and God given identity was probably for more women than the small groups I teach in the mornings. So, I began creating classes and resources concerning body image and God’s view of health for the church. Within the church, we don’t often hear about treating ourselves well and taking care of our bodies. I created a bible study on body image and God’s view of health called “Health and Identity” which I taught to our staff and as a Sunday School Class. I am currently working on packaging this bible study to be done online. I am also developing a “clean eating” cooking class to be taught in the community through a local college.
In both the film and novel, "Speak" by Lauren Halsen Anderson uses literary devices to demonstrate the experience the protagonist, Melinda Sordino faced as a teenage rape victim, as well as the steps necessary to cope and move on with her life. Both film and book share a great similarity in the conflict that goes on, as well as the flash backs indicated throughout this piece of work. Also, the symbolism shaped by the protagonist makes it more clear to understand the tramautic event. Moreover, the novel and film appears to be both familiar in many ways due to these elements followed by examples.
In a clinical trial (Rimm) “Efforts to improve the taste of school foods through chef-enhanced meals should remain a priority because this was the only method that also increased consumption.” (p.1, 2014) A simple implementation of starting with breakfasts that are full of healthy whole grains, fruit and low fat proteins would be a huge
This scripture has always been a model for as I try to presentation my time, talent and service to others. Ephesian 5:22 says, “ 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. This is a (imperative). Teaching 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither ndeed can be.8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.we are not condemned when we are in Christ”.
They were women of God, and they were very important in the development of Gods image, and well as playing significant roles in Jesus’ life and mission. Women contributed to the movement, and the experienced belonging to his community just as much as the men. However, some may view the presence of women in the bible as a negative thing. Elizabeth Cady Scanton said that the bible can be used to exclude women from the public sphere. The Bible promotes marriage and childbirth as the most important things for a woman to do, as these things would make the woman stay home and create a better environment for her husband. The images of women in the bible, however, can help women connect to God more intimately and see themselves as an image of God. Women were included in the first followers of Jesus, and he treated them as equals.Women were seen as ministers, opened their home to the less fortunate, and even witnessed Jesus’ resurrection. Since it’s beginning, women had roles of power in Christianity. Women gave birth to the men of the Lord, but only if they were women of the

Laurie Halse Andersons, Speak, published in 1999 educates the reality of which we must speak out to be heard. Presumptively the novel is set in the late 90's at Merryweather high school in Syracuse New York. Protagonist, Melinda Sordino, narrates her story as a sexual assault victim. We journey through her freshman year and watch her suffer to find her lost voice and overcome her negative convictions . While her persona is revealed, we see that the rape forces change on Melinda through violence. Several months of self mutilation and bitter silence, she finally speaks up for herself and confronts her antagonist. Melinda's introspection through her art allows growth and she becomes a survivor. Her recovery nonetheless was tough and protracted.
Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson, is first-person narrative about overcoming our habits and misfortunes. It takes place at Merryweather High over the course of a year. The main character, Melinda, is a fourteen year-old, who is just starting high school. She is introduced, at first, as someone who doesn’t speak to anyone, almost, at all. All the other people in the high school seem to detest her. They say hateful things to her and throw objects at her. She seems not bothered by any of this. She is in her own being.
Busy lives filled with work, school, and extracurricular activities cause parents to rely on these restaurants for their convenience. Fast food chains now offer every item they sell “supersized”. One meal can have as many calories as is recommended for one full day. If a child eats fast food three times a day they could be consuming almost three times the recommended daily allowance. This along with the costs of fresh fruits and vegetables, and the availability of these foods makes it very difficult for them to make good choices. Parents often do not have the resources to provide their children with low calorie fresh foods. The cost is often out of their budget and the old habit of purchasing cheap fast food is hard to
This is not to say that Christians should be complacent and never seek to improve themselves, but that God has equipped us each with the tools and abilities that we need to serve him and that he loves us with a love that we cannot even begin to understand. Our bodies are tools with which we can glorify God, and keeping them in good shape is a way to respect him and show him honor. However, being dissatisfied with our bodies actually disrespects the work that God has put into us because it is as if we are saying that he did not do well enough when he created us, which is certainly not true. Exercise and healthy eating are essential and should be prioritized, but this should be kept in perspective because the things that really matter will last much longer than the perfect body or the beautiful face will. A relationship with God and being able to serve him with our lives is what ultimately

A healthy lifestyle is usually picked up as we get older. However, think of how much more beneficial it would be for our bodies when we get older, if we would have learned and adapted to a healthier lifestyle when we were younger? Teaching your kids how important a healthy diet is, will help them maintain that lifestyle in their older years. Not to mention have lower health risks, higher self-esteem and it will give them the energy they need to keep up with their eating habits and maintain their body weight.
Since I was younger I always felt out of place in my life, whether it be socially or mentally and it really didn’t occur to me until I was in high school for why I felt out of place and it had to do with my weight. My freshman year I was two-hundred and thirty pounds, I also played football, but this wasn’t an excuse for why I weighed so much at such a young age. As I progressed through high school my weight followed me, two-sixty, then two-eighty and finally two ninety-five and especially in today’s day and age people are more self-conscious about their bodies due to outside factors such as certain trends or the sexual personification of today’s society that may lead one to believe they are undesirable. Another aspect of my health that affects me is my family health history, my father, grandmother, four uncles and six aunts have diabetes.
Having a healthy body can contribute to an individual’s overall well being and happiness. In the reading about virtue and health by Gary Ferngren, we learn about the meaning of ‘virtue’ in the ancient world which referred to the “quality or proficiency of men…” instead of in reference to moral behavior (Ferngren 176). The Greeks considered health to be essential to one’s virtue. Maintaining a healthy diet will help an individual perform better. Personally, I find that healthy habits are beneficial and uplifting for the soul. Those days when I eat right and am active, I am in high spirits, I feel good, and I am more motivated to achieve things. According to new US dietary guidelines, most Americans “don’t get enough health-enhancing and disease-preventing nutrients” which is a major problem that is not only physically detrimental, but also discouraging in terms of one’s mental health (Mayo Clinic Staff, “New dietary guidelines” 3). When I feel healthy on the inside, I have greater self-esteem and confidence and this is really important when it comes to how others view themselves or they potential. It also helps to maintain a positive outlook on
