Happy Friday - hope the sun is shining where you are. It is shining here and I love the light. Light soooooo does great things for us - we need it desperately! One of the greatest benefits of light is giving directions. I think sharing new recipes and giving words of hope helps us all with illumination. It's like this - when you share your victory stories and pics, I feel light coming into the window of my health journey. This helps me to "see" the victory path AND STAY ON IT. I really believe that we need a connection to others who are opening our eyes and hearts. When one of you shares your blood results and rejoices in the victory - I rejoice. That opens my eyes and illuminates "there's victory in the camp." Just LOVE, love all these victory stories!
I lived in depression and a hidden cave called OBESITY for sooo long. Those who know me well know I love windows, lights on and brightness - it's part of who I am. I only really discovered this in my health walk in January of 2011. I am blessed that so many of you are finding it also. Keep going - don't accept failure - we are created in the image of God to WIN! Continue to confess out loud the truth that "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me." Maybe you need to do that when walking down the isle with chips and crackers at the store??? Maybe you need to do that when passing up the birthday cake at your OWN party??? Yikes! Or, maybe like me, it's when there's pizza on the counter and I try to reason that "one slice won't hurt me." There are times even today I still feel like my flesh wants to drag me to a dark, hidden cave - but the confession FROM MY MOUTH and knowing that God's word is TRUE and he will never fail me - gives my sliding feet traction. :)
Let's do this - half the time we open our mouth to insert food today - we either declare God's truth or PRAISE him. Both options are powerful and bring life and light - especially if you are discouraged and feeling defeated. We can do this! PK
