Pounds I had worked mighty hard to take off. If you have never had a weight problem I don't think you understand what it is like to look in the mirror and see what has happened to you because you were not letting God be your all in all.That is my story. So I come to God and once again tell Him I am sorry and I was wrong and I KNOW He forgives me. BUT! It is not easy for me to see the evidence of my sin every day. I guess other people could have those problems too. Like if they over spent and they had to look everyday at their debt. It is a weight they carry too.<BR/>My pastors wife is doing this thing to. We are encouraging each other. The thing she said that got me is--I can take it off but I don't want it back again. <BR/>I don't think it will change until my soul longs more for Him than anything else. Bottom line for me is trust. If I trusted Him more maybe I would run to what I KNOW could help me instead of getting mad and feeling sorry for myself and running to food.<BR/>I think the only thing that will help is more of Him and staying filled with the Spirit. If I am filled up with Him--I won't be so needy.<BR/>"Have a blessed day (and I'm speaking to myself too)."<BR/>I loved this! You are blessed coming in and going out. You are a Princess and mighty warrior in disguise. You bless my heart. And I know SOMEONE up above thinks you are mighty special too. Keep walking---never, never give up!We are not quitters--WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS! MORE THAN!Sharon Brumfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662853880018410132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553706.post-40163837936153692122007-08-23T09:45:00.000-04:002007-08-23T09:45:00.000-04:00Girl, I am so sorry you have to go through this st...Girl, I am so sorry you have to go through this struggle.

Your smile and eyes light up the world! Not many people are as lucky in looks as you are!<BR/><BR/>Why are our family and extended families so hung up about weight? Ben looks like a bird, Chris looks like a bird, Arron looks like a bird, Grandma looked like a bird, and so on, you know the people on the bird list.<BR/><BR/>I also put on weight when we moved. It is so true, you think it would go the other way because you just dont stop moving your body for hours on end. Then when I left the center, I put on even more weight.(Lots of depression there)<BR/><BR/>So I started walking for 30 min every day, and my oh my, it is HOT here. After a month, I have lost only 5 pounds. A little disappointing. I felt frustrated. But the other day I decided to just like myself the way I was. There are more important thing to think about in life. I decided to stop judging myself. After that, I noticed the other day that my shorts were a little lose. I will stay off the scale, and stop thinking about it, and just take my brisk walks. I want to be healthy and not look like a bird. That is my new motivation.<BR/><BR/>Being a mom is hard!!! You are doing a great job with the girls. Guess what? There were ocassions when I yelled at my kids, and to snitch on my sister, they to yelled at their kids. It happens. I just said in my head "I am sorry God" and moved on.<BR/><BR/>My sister Jan said a few weeks ago when we were talking about confidence and self esteem, she said "I am the daughter of a Great KING, I will hold my head high" She said she had to remind her self to stand tall with her head held high.<BR/><BR/>I started school and was a little nervous and that phrase came to me. So I straighten my self up, put on a smile and the rest is history. <BR/><BR/>I loved your prayer! It is a hard day, but you can do it. Love yourself, be gentle with yourself, do something special for yourself today, even if it is just a cup of your favorite tea.<BR/><BR/>Aunt KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326478835690974297noreply@blogger.com
