Happy Wednesday!
Just got done with 1 hour on my exercise bike, which for me right now is a little over 14 miles. My bike doesn't tell me what the resistance is, but I start to sweat at about 10 minutes and I look like I've stepped out of the shower when I'm done, so I think the resistance is high enough lol! I've been watching episodes of "Parenthood" season 1 while I ride. Every once in a while my internet boots me off so I have to get off the bike and log in again...grrr.
Today my internet connection dropped me at the 50 minutes mark while riding my bike so I decided to just stay on the bike and ride with no distractions for the last 10 minutes. I took that opportunity to pray. First for my boys and their families and then just to be thankful. I have so much to be thankful for. One of the things I've been saying a lot lately is that I don't know why this lifestyle change seems to be working. Other times I've tried I've given up easily, or really never got to the point of truly changing anything in my lifestyle. At some point in my prayer time I realized the change in my "lifestyle change" is I have begun to listen to that "still small voice" inside. I know that voice as the Holy Spirit. I can tell the difference because the HS is kind to me. Unlike my own voice constantly irritated at myself for one thing or another. I believe the HS is even helping me change my own inner voice. I'm becoming kinder and more forgiving of myself. An attitude of gratitude has helped too. I hope each of you can take a moment and quiet the harsh unforgiving voices and listen for the voice of Love inside you.
Here's to hearing voices!!
Make your Wednesday worthwhile.

I totally agree with you 110 percent! I have been on my weight-loss journey together with the Lord ever single day 24/7. I could have never made the progress I have made without Him. He gives me an inner peace about myself and about my weight loss and eating HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. I totally understand now how important God's Holy Temple (my body) is to Him. He wants me and all of us to be successful and healthy, to enjoy fully the precious gift of life He gave us all. Lord, please help everyone to turn to you for YOUR strength for we are weak as humans; and let us always be THANKFUL for all that you do for each and every one of us in our life. AMEN.

Oh my goodness! Ever since I posted this entry earlier today I have had every craving under the sun! I'm still being good to myself, but perhaps a little less prideful! Lol!

Just think of Jesus and remember the SACRIFICE He made for each and every one of us. Our cravings are so minimal in comparison. Give it to the Lord and ask for peace.

I have to cry out to Him daily! And some days .. moment by moment! This journey really is about coming to the end of "self" and wanting to glorify God in WHO you are and in ALL that you DO! As long as weight loss is about self, I think I'll struggle. But as it becomes about HIM .. everything changes! Although in and of myself I am nothing, and I can do nothing .. WITH HIM I can do ALL THINGS! BECAUSE of Him! WE can do ALL THINGS! :) THANK YOU Hipaagrammy and Encouraged for the beautiful words of encouragement today! I will take them to heart. <3
