Busy Day

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

This was the busiest day I have had in a while. I only got half a walk in. Glad I did that at least. I did stay true to my food tracker. I chilled out for a while and tried to catch up my Sparkpage. How did you do today?

Escape Your Temptations

Monday, March 12, 2012

I Corinthians 10: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

This verse gives me hope and strength. Many times in the past I have had temptations I thought I could not deal with. God always comforts me with HIS word and shows me a path of escape. I though at one time it was useless to diet, because I couldn't exercise. God helped lead me to a way of escape. I found a comfortable way to exercise and I began to make changes in my eating habits. Once I escaped that snare and listen to the LORD, He opened up all kinds of possiblities to me. I began to lose weight. I began to walk better each day. My hopless feeling melted away and God's hope and strength filled my whole life. The LORD has given me great Sparkfriends to encourage me and pray for me. The devil hit me over and over with tribulations and snares. Sometimes he would knock me down. God is always right there with me. He lifts me up everytime. I feel HIS great love and mercy. I am thankful HE is my LORD!

Strength and Praise

Saturday, March 10, 2012

Psalm 71:a6 I will go in the strength of the LORD GOD; I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

Thank you Lord for giving me strength each. Without you I know my efforts to live healthy and lose weight would fail. Feed my soul. Feed my spirit. When my soul becomes dry and thirty, quench my thirst with your living water. You are my righteous Lord in whom I will proclaim. Thank you for walking with me each day. Help me not to forget your wonderful blessings in my life. Thank you for helping me to improve everyday. Thank you for being with me when I am in pain or sick. You are my comfort! You are my word! You are my salvation! You are my hope! You are my God! Praise Your Glorious Name! In Jesus Name! Amen!

Hope

Friday, March 09, 2012

Romans 15:4 For whatoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

I love this scripture! I reminds me of how much God's Word has edified me and brought me much comfort. He speaks to me through His Word. He has helped me cope with my health problems and renewed my strength in troubled depressing times. As I spent more and more intimate time with my Lord in prayer and studying His Word; my loneliness began to melt away. Happiness and the joy of the Lord filled me up. Not only did I learn to deal with my situation, I also gain much patience. The Lord put me back on my path. Most of all He gave me great comfort. I feel showered with God's love everyday. If you are out there and you are troubled by you weight, health, family problems, loneliness, depression, or something else just simply turn it over to the Lord! Turn to His Word! Pray! Our hope is in Christ Jesus!
