I haven't posted for a LONG time, but I wasn't kidding when I said I was going to give this weight loss thing another shot. I'm just doing it a new way. I've heard that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting another result. (If that is the case, then I am certifiably insane.)
My mom and dad introduced me to this book. It is called
He Did Deliver Me From Bondage and it is by Colleen Harrison. I have spent that past couple of months reading the book and journaling as it suggests. I am not even half-way through it. If you know me well, you know that is surprising because it is a pretty small book and I am a voracious reader. But this is not just about reading. It is about reading and comprehending and pondering and journaling and reading again.
I LOVE this book. It speaks to my heart. It is helping to open my heart and my soul so that Jesus can help me change. I can not do it myself. I have proven that too many times to count. I love my Jesus. I believe in Him and His ability to save me from my sinful nature, but I have never understood how to allow Him to save me from my negative behaviors.
I am learning.
If you want a good book to read, order this one! It rocks.
I've lost 26 pounds, but that is no longer my focus. It's just a very welcome side effect of learning to live through the Holy Spirit and listen to His counsel. I have a long way to go, but I can see that it is possible with Christ.
