I am not the same person I used to be. I once loved food and centered my life around eating.  God changed my heart, so my focus is now on Him.  Today, I don’t want to stuff my face with food.  My personality is still the same, but better with God living in me. 2 Corinthians 5:17 is, “Therefore, if  anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.  The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version, 2001).   When I began my journey with Christ, I was stubborn and did not want to give up my right to enjoyRead More →

Little things add up and create stress.  Individually, these annoyances so minor that others don’t want to hear me whine. When I focus on one problem, I remember another issue. Once my brain gets on the negative side, focus on gloominess has me frantic and stressed. Stressed and negative thoughts keep me up at night. Both fatigue and stress are triggers for me to eat.  I know food does not take stress away or give me energy, but I run to it anyway.

I am a better person with God in my life.  I have more patience and less negativity.  God has helped me not only with my food problem, but changed me from the inside. Days when I am tired and do not spend enough time in the Word are times I see some of my old nature surfacing.  I need to be careful and keep close to God.  John 15:4 is, “Remain in me and I will remain in you.  For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.” (Holy Bible, NewRead More →

Change is hard to do.  To stop being late, I force myself to plan ahead.  I even wake up earlier.  I have a better change of making this a permanent change if I decide I want to be on time.  If my attitude remains indifferent, I can try and try, but most likely, I will continue to run late. Only God can help me change. 1 Corinthians 15:57 is, “But thank God!  He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 1996, 2004, 2007).  God changes me from within.  He has given me victory from the sinRead More →
