Have you ever been listening to something and then you start thinking of how this same message would be a great blog message. I was sitting in church listening to the pastor and then it hit me that I needed to tell my story here as it related to the pastor's message. The message today was about how BIG our God is. How we have to do what we can and let God take care of the rest. Well when I started eating healthier, working out and loosing weight I knew that this was not something that I could do alone. I knew I had to pray, so pray I did and that's when I started do what I needed to do and relied on God to do the rest. And I can not even begin to tell you about the miracles in my body and mind he has performed. I think & act differently than I could have ever imagined. But still I need help everyday, there are some days that I just don't want to keep up my end or I fall short and eat things that I shouldn't. But God knows that I am only human and that's when he does the things that can't. He gives me renewed determination and knowledge to do what I need to do. So if you think that what is going on in your life is unsermountable, just remember that with YOU + GOD, anything is possible.
And just to prove my point, I was in Atlanta (Alpharetta to be exact) for business this past week and there was a Cheesecake Factory just right down the road, Oh how I thought about making a big piece of cheesecake my dinner, I mean I did go to the gym earlier. But somehow, some way, God sure kept me from even going in. Thank goodness I don't think that my willpower would have held up with a display case of gorgeous cheesecakes! I ended up with my usual from Panera, a half tukey sandwich and cup of black bean soup. And a whole lot less guilt, God definately knows best.
Blessings & Faith,
Magnolia
