Elizabeth_V's Journal, 13 December 2015

hugs 

God knows our every need before we ask. So he knows what I am praying for even though I don't. May you feel his loving arms lifting you up. Prayers said. 

Praying. Psalms 37:25 "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." and 2 Corinthians 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." God is with you always. I understand disaster and tragedy. Even if your shift is not on the scale of what happened to me, God is still there to pick up the pieces and to wrap His love around you. 

Thank you all so much. I am holding on to my grandma's favorite verse....Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  

I posted this on my facebook a week ago, but I don't mind sharing it here today- "Dear Family and Friends, as the Christmas Season is upon us, I want to take a moment to share my prayers for your peace, prosperity and happiness moving forward through the end of the year, through the Holiday Season, and into the New Year. May your blessings be abundant, all your needs be met, and your walk with The Savior lifted up to The Heavens, I share your hopes and fears, pray for you all constantly and want everyone to know that though I may not always express my genuine love and gratitude, everyone of you that reads this mean more to me than I could ever do justice with words. Thank you all for being a part of my life, in Jesus name, Amen!" And I would like to add, Lord, may you lift Elizabeth_V to your loving arms and comfort and protect her through her trying times and assure her that your ways may not be known to your servants, that there is a bigger design. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen! 

I will pray for you!  

Take care and when life takes that 360 just remember you can steer through and still end up going the right direction on lives path :) 

We have all been there or will be just one step at a time  

You're all so wonderful. Thank you so much. 

Last week I was worried about finals I did okay so this week I'm back to mindful eating. Last night at the annual Christmas party I found that I had a death in my family. Now I have to go out of town for a funeral for a person I did not like to support a person who I dearly love. It is going to be hard To watch what I eat. I feel strong enough to be able to eat mindfully. I'm not leaving for a few days so I can prepare myself mentally. I had a high calorie breakfast. I will watch what I eat today. I have no big plans today. I will have to find clothes that fit. I hate to go to my closet. I have clothes from size 24 to size 18. Most of them are summer clothes.I will just have to make do. Have a great day. 

Life's problems can tear us apart and there will always be problems that will crop up when we try to lose weight. My prayers for you are that you will have the peace, love and wisdom of God while you handle the troubles and normal activities of everyday life.
