June 20, 2012 - Self Confidence

Good morning to everyone, I woke up this morning thinking about how confidence is critical to a good journey. I was able to minister to one of our youth last week about that statement, but it really applies in so many areas. There is a big difference in confidence in our own ability and God's ability. And, I understand that confidence CAN cross over into pride, but the flip side CAN BE disastrous as well! For example, we must have confidence that following a healthy plan for our lives will produce long-term benefits. If we are not secure in that, then every other day brings a day filled with bad choices. And, we must be confident that our resolve to fight for our health cannot be overturned by passing the yogurt shop daily. There is something for being SURE of what we believe and never being dissuaded from that. Our belief in God is built on that type of confidence. I want to encourage you this morning - be confident that you CAN BE healthy, you CAN SAY NO, you CAN make the correct choices. WE CAN DO THIS! I am leading the pack in that daily confession as I lived so many years making a confession of death and destruction over my life. Remember - we are confident in the TRUTH and we fight for freedom without making compromises. Have faith in you - I do! New recipe: Crab Salad - lump imitation crab (large pkg), 2 large stalks of celery chopped tiny, 2 tablespoons of mayo, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, sea salt, dill. All of these can be adjusted per your taste - (I like a lot of dill. My husband said, "I could eat that like icecream") let rest overnight - SOOOO yummy. It's time to start looking at our 4th of July journey - we gotta plan now. Yes??? :) Remember - the first Sunday in July I will be having my health life group and most of the recipes that night will center around the 4th. You can come if you like - love to have you here! We meet the first Sunday of EACH month to share a healthy dish and pray for our bodies and health. Love to have you! PK
