Thanks + Planks | Week Two

Welcome back! How did last week go? Did the Holy Spirit speak? And how did you respond?

If you're just joining us this week, take an additional minute or two to go back to Week One's post and add those simple bullet points to this week's challenge. I know it will be of value to you as we work our way through this month of Thanks + Planks.

Let's take a look a this week's challenge. [You get BONUS points if you roll in the physical fitness elements!]

WEEK 2 (November 10 - 16)

Each day find three things or people for which you are thankful and write them down. A thankFULL heart can't be filled with bitterness at the same time!
Each day read or memorize: Give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for mankind, for He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things (Psalm 107:8-9).

Samalee Allen, known as “Sam” to friends and family, and her husband Terry have served hand-in-hand, from being volunteer youth pastors and worship leaders to serving full-time in ministry, building strong relationships with many leaders across the US.

After a family health crisis, Sam and Terry made hard choices to align their health with movement and nutrition. As she strengthened, she discovered she loved fitness challenges, including walking and running. Out of local need, she became a fitness instructor in 2014, but desiring to minister the Gospel freely via fitness, Sam entered Revelation Wellness in 2021. She has completed numerous certifications and races in distances for 5K, 10K, Half & Full Marathon, a Sprint Triathlon and an Ultra using intervals (running with resting intervals of walking). Sam absolutely loves leading people to freedom in Christ and in movement!

In 2019, the couple founded MVP Leader Group - A ministry designed to honor, encourage and connect ministry leaders, pastors, and ministers and spouses for the purposes of mental, physical and spiritual health. MVP fuels the called, strengthens and replenishes leaders who are themselves in need.

Sam occasionally will minister apart from Terry at women’s retreats and gatherings. She and Terry live in middle Tennessee near their son and daughter-in-love and two grandsons!
