Just wanna share from my devotion this morning, as our journey is different from others. I KNOW that I could not have made this trip without God. My devotion this morning speaks about "It is good to sail with Jesus even if you are in a small boat." The disciples were in a storm, in a small boat. No stabilizer's - just Jesus! We have to make certain that we KNOW that Jesus is IN OUR BOAT, NOT INTIMIDATED BY OUR ISSUES, AND THAT HE WILL NOT JUMP SHIP. He told the disciples they were going across - no if, ands, or buts - they WERE crossing over. Why did they doubt????? Because the storm came. In their MINDS, the storm trumped his words. Really????? This is jesus. But we do it too, don't we? I want you to remember when you get discouraged about your weight/health - Jesus will get us to the other side. I can't get myself over - but he's in my boat. :)
I still fight for freedom daily - which is mostly a fight in my mind. I have to be honest......I stood yesterday and thought, "ok, these nine months have been great, but when will it be over? When will the past grab me again?" For about 3 seconds I reverted - then the Spirit of the Lord came on me and I said, "NO WAY. I am not going back. This is the REAL me, the healthy me, I choose life. Why does the past EVER have to clothe me again?" YIKES! Come on fam - our past is always tugging and God is saying, "make your stand and say NO to the past failures." Today I feel encouraged again and I speak that over each of you.
Jesus is in the boat - don't look at the "storm" look at him!
Choose life and eat to live,
