I am reading through the entire Bible this year. Digging into God’s Word is helping me understand that He uses imperfect people. I am hard on myself and only look at my failures. Instead of accepting my progress, I feel guilty every time I slip. Philippians 3:13 is, “ Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead Holy Bible, Christian Standard Bible, 2017 I will never be perfect. I don’t feel worthy to write a blog on overcoming food when I keep slipping.Read More →

I have walked with God for a while and think I have surrendered my life to Him. Even though I know the Lord works everything together for good, I hold on to some selfish desires. My fear is that God won’t work this situation out by giving me what I want. Job 22:21 is “Submit to God, and you will have peace; then things will go well for you.” Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015 Giving up control and submitting to God all the time is challenging. I need to give Him control of everything. Hanging on to my selfish desires keeps the Lord’s powerRead More →

In my journey to eat less, I have messed up many times. Every time I feel my clothes getting tighter, I feel ashamed for overeating and gaining weight. I have fallen many times and will probably do it again. I need to keep seeking God to stay on track. Ephesians 2:4-5 is, “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, made us alive in Christ even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace!” Holy Bible, Christian Standard Bible, 2017 I am grateful to serve my merciful Lord. He doesn’t keep track ofRead More →

It is easier to continue living with bad habits than trying to develop better ones. Ever since COVID changed everything 3 years ago, I have not written regular posts. When I was forced to stay home, I spent time seeking news instead of reading God’s Word. Going back to work and facing Coronavirus stresses gave me more excuses. Three years later, I am not back in a routine of writing. Matthew 6:33 is, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011 When I seek the Lord, He guidesRead More →

Every New Year is full of hope and promise. I usually renew my resolutions to lose weight, become more organized, and create more frequent blog posts. So far, I have not done much to get organized. It is the middle of February and I am still working on my “New Year’s” post. Instead of traditional goals, I will use one word for 2023 that helps me grow spiritually. I will persevere in 2023. Philippians 3:14 is, “I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” Holy Bible, New Living Translation,Read More →
