I started healthier habits over the summer like cooking meals with real ingredients instead of using packaged foods. Since I was not working, I found time to exercise regularly. Now that I am back in school, I face temptations to stress eat. My weekly workouts average is 1.5 for this month. I don’t want my healthy routine to end. Proverbs 16:3 is, “Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed .” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2018 When God guides my goals, I will succeed. He desires me to walk with healthy habits. Jesus gives me to strength to pass on snacksRead More →

Like everyone else, I want quick and easy weight loss, even though I know it is not realistic. I tried a new probiotic to eliminate stomach bloat, thinking it might help me lose weight. This supplement is helping my stomach heal from years of overeating. When I eat too much, I can now see how uncomfortable my stomach feels. I have justified my overeating for too long and lied to myself about the amount I was eating. Proverbs 3:7-8 is “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to yourRead More →

On Christmas Eve, I finally had my tree up and all the presents wrapped. Instead of enjoying the moment, I worry about things I still have to do and ways I can make the perfect Christmas. Jesus came to our world humble and far from our social media perfection standards. John 16:33 is, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015 Christ came into this world so we can have peace in Him. WhenRead More →

I did not intend to take a break from blogging. Teaching students in 2020 (with twice as much work) has drained my energy. My oven recently went out, making it tougher to throw together easy meals. It has been hard to balance everything I need to do. I would be lying if I pretended my eating was fine. Matthew 6:33 is, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015 I need to seek the Lord first. He is my only path to peace. My mind turns pessimistic whenRead More →

I will never reach perfection. I do my best to follow the Lord. For the most part, my eating is great. Occasionally, I slip and eat too much. When I do, there are times I want to keep eating. Deep down, I know what I am doing is wrong, but I enjoy food. Galatians 5:16 is, “…walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” Holy Bible, English Standard Version, 2001 I need Jesus to keep from slipping, He gives me strength to walk in His Spirit instead of my flesh. On my own, I will choose my desires. IRead More →
