I’ve lost 6 pounds!!!!
Yes, it could be all water from the inflammation going down….but IT’S 6 POUNDS!!!
and I was worried that I was eating too large of portion sizes!
And it’s not about the supplements, because Jim lost 6 pounds also!
Today, we attend a 4 hour grocery nutrition lesson from this program.
We meet with the nutritionist at the grocery store, and she goes through more details about this diet.
We have been praying for God to show us what we need to do for years.
I think that God has been showing us what we needed to do for years!
But, NOW, we are willing to follow.
I just had to get sick enough of the old like to be willing to move into the new way of living!
That’s true, spiritually, as well.
Why do we hold on to all those old sins?
We like them…
they aren’t causing us all that much pain, so, why get rid of them?
We can control it, right?
After all…Jesus ate with sinners and publicans, right?
Oh, wait….I’m NOT JESUS!!!
Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
I’ve written about running, in at least one post because, I’ve had trouble with running.
Bu the point here is that in order to run THIS RACE, we must put off besetting sins…those weights that hold us back…so that we can run this race.!
Another chapter 12 says some very good words to this:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:1-2
So, if my eating habits are keeping me from running, what are my spiritual eating habits doing to my ability to run the race?
Food for thought, today!
Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good [thing] will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Ps 63:7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
“The Lord does not give me rules, but He makes His standard very clear.
If my relationship to Him is that of love, I will do what He says without hesitation.
If I hesitate, it is because I love someone I have placed in competition with Him, namely, myself.” – from My Utmost for His highest
