The human body is amazing. After taking physiology, anatomy, sports med, psychology and nutrition I am awe struck at how perfectly everything works inside our bodies. The processes are so complex that only God could make something so perfect and intricate. Things like: digesting food, sending pain signals from neuron to neuron, our bodies fighting against bacteria and infection, our heart pumping, our sympathetic nervous system providing adrenaline, etc.
Something I struggle with is that I get frustrated that my body is imperfect and that sometimes it hurts. Aches and pains, cramps, the flu, cavities, broken bones, stomach aches, headaches, allergies, etc. I want my body to be perfect but I am starting to understand that while we are living on earth our body isn't supposed to be perfect. We are supposed to learn through our body and gain knowledge through it that we would not have gained any other way. I am so grateful to have a body! It is a gift from God and I want to treat it the best way that I know how and show God how grateful I am for this body. Here are some things I want to work on to help show my gratitude: eating a nutritious, well balanced diet, exercising daily (not just in dance but finding new ways to get my heart beat up), serving others, smiling at people, being productive, etc. I know that God created each and every one of our bodies and that he is happy when we take care of ourselves.
