He has been so loving and kind to give me these things to do and I have not obeyed completely. I'm wanting to give this up to Him and walk in His ways all the way, with all of me.
I'm so grateful for all the Lord has done these past months...leading me to start walking and all the other things He's told me to do.
It started with :
-starting walking to the mailbox (good)
-eat more fiber (good)
-drink more water (is it THAT difficult?)
-eat half (have not been engaging here)
-one salad a day (good)
-no refined sugar (except for special occasions) (I've been wishy-washy not wanting to give it up the way He's asked)
-GET STRONG (haven't been willing to exert myself with DDP)
I have all the steps I need...I need to do them and I need His power to do them at all.
The Lord has led me to fasting the past few days, just giving up lunch. I'm praying for him to empty me of myself. I want to suffocate this gluttonous monster who wants to eat more than I need. Just exercising self-control with regards to fasting has opened my eyes to my own licentiousness toward myself.
He recently convicted me about eating BEFORE the eating. I was at an event and I was putting out some brownies and had the idea that I'd just eat one brownie while loading the serving plates. This incident brought me to repent of this self-centered habit of eating while I'm preparing meals. Thank You Lord for showing me and empowering me to have self-control as I prepare meals in the kitchen.
