My Testimony
Before I began Zumba, I weighed 238 pounds! I began reflecting and knew I needed to make a change in my life. I read a scripture that spoke to me: Romans 12:1 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” In reading this scripture, the Lord indicated to me that He desired all of me which meant: mind, body, spirit and soul. The ordinary things in life such as sleeping, eating, going to work and walking around about life had to be placed in God’s hands.
I discovered Zumba and began losing weight. I enjoy Zumba; a Latin inspired international exercise dance. It is exciting, motivating, challenging and fun! I lost 78 pounds in the process! I was so encouraged that I decided to become a certified Zumba Instructor. I am excited to introduce Zumba to the Body of Christ, right here at Cross Street A.M.E. Zion Church. As a Zumba instructor, I am seeing positive results in others. The outside appearance is important, but the health of the body and spirit is as equally important. Individuals are motivated and at Cross Street our Zumba classes have been 60 people and more. One goal as a Zumba Instructor is to motivate, ignite, transform, and encourage others to know that it's a life style with commitment and discipline. Currently classes are held on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning at 6:00 p.m. and ending at 7:00 p.m.
Experience a healthy, active, and blessed life!
