Confessing My Faults and Moving On!

Wednesday, May 16, 2012

James 5:16 reads, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man/woman availed much.”

Confession is good for us and for the diet!

Ok, Ok, Ok!
Hey my name is Angel
I’m addicted to Banana Pudding Ice Cream (Blue Bell)
On Monday, May 14, 2012 at 9:45 pm I slipped
I opened a half pint of this creamy sinfulness and . . . . . .
I eat it like the world would end by 9:52 pm that evening.

What I thought after eating the Banana Pudding Ice Cream (Blue Bell of course!)
-Who brought this thing into the house!?
-I did not buy it and how did it get before my eyes!?
-Someone has to pay for this!
-They are trying to Sabotaging My Weight Loss Efforts!
-I have said it before this ice cream is from the devil's den!

True Confession is . . . .
Yes, I like Banana Pudding Ice Cream (Blue Bell) may even love it.
BUT no one forced me to eat it
I opened the freezer
I took the lid off
I got the spoon
I scooped each bite
Sooooooooooooooo it was ME to blame!

I do reward myself on the weekend for a good job done but this was a lack of self control.
I know God has given me self control b/c He said it in His Word. So people pray for me and I will pray for you that we will close the freezer door on temptation, stick with our plans and see results.

Thanks for listening to my confession,
Angel

    The old hymn says "yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin" I'm just sayin'. emoticon

    Thanks for your openness, yes, sometimes it's hard and we all slip up at times, but what makes it so awesome is we have a God who cares and forgives us when we call upon His Name. He is the One who will give you/us the grace to look temptation in the eye and move ahead leaving it behind. I'm standing with you Angel and will pray for you; with God we can eat in moderation and walk away from the temptation that is trying to ensnare us. I will continue to cheer you on your journey! emoticon
