A Lesson in Faith

A Lesson in Faith: Give it All to Him

 

These past three days have been very emotional for me.  I don't consider myself to be a crier.  I just don't react to things with tears.  This may explain me being 100 lbs overweight.  But, this week, when faced with adversity, I actually had to cry because I could not eat those dang M&M's I forgot about in my purse.  See I made a commitment that I would not turn to sugar for comfort.  When I took away the thing I was craving the most, all I had left was Him.  Which I think is the heart of the matter.

I believe everything happens for a reason and if you stay quiet enough (spirit speaking), you will be open and available to hear it and receive it.  I had to take an honest look at my life and the way I'm living it.  I'm growing as a "grown-up" Christian and I know that tests and trails will come from every direction to catch you slipping.  And boy was I slipping.  But, this week has shown me that if I can say no to those M&M's every time I open my purse, I do have discipline, albeit a work in progress.

I am going to work on my relationship with Christ as I work on my health.  I've always known that this is a joint venture, but you have to be knocked in the head sometimes to remember that He gives you strength.  That He gives you endurance.  If I keep looking for those things to come from me alone, I will lose every time.  I'm ready to start winning!

 

Oh, but I will be eating those M&M's on Saturday though.
