Well, the rest of yesterday and today went well. What I mean is, my obsession with food did not surpass my desire to serve my God. Can't say I didn't think about food, but I just didn't indulge. Although, I did resist the temptation to call my husband back yesterday to cancel the route 44 cherry coke I had agreed to have him bring me. Oh and today, I jumped for joy when my stomach gave the first feeling of emptiness, indicating that my body was ready for some nourishment! Whoopee! My husband just looked at me like I was crazy.
"You don't understand, my stomach is finally hungry!! This means I can eat!! Whoopee!" He just shook his head. Easy for him I say. All he has to do is hold his breath whenever he wants to and he'll drop 5 pounds or so!! But nothing could wipe the smile off of my face once my tummy gave its signal...nuh-thing!
I have resisted the tempation to join weight watchers (again) and a gym, well-that's just out of my financial league at the moment. Father God just whispers to me...those things will come...for now, all I want for you to do is focus on me. He is referring to my urge to join weight watchers, create a diet menu, an exercise schedule, etc. You know, all of the things we plan to do but never follow through. Not for the long haul anyways.
Father in heaven, thank you for this initial wisdom and inspiration. I am for certain that You have so much more in store for me and those accompanying me on my journey. Help me to stay focused on the task at hand and allow you to lead me by the hand to freedom. Help me to remember that all you are asking of me at this time, is to focus on you and the rest will come. I love you Jesus, Amen.
This is cool. I will pray for you. God knows its been a battle for me. I sure do love food.
