I told my husband the other day when my he had asked me if I wanted to pray about anything (I was feeling pretty sad that day & had been for about a week) and I told him no, that I did not see the point anymore. The next day I had told a friend of mine in a Bible study class I am taking (just happens to be about how to experience joy in ALL of our circumstances) that I am my own circumstance. I had come to the realization that in the situations that I am facing right now with my sadness, had only to do with my own choices. The issue with my weight loss --- it is no longer up to God, but up to me. He HAS given me all the resources and He IS always there for me ready to help me when I CHOOSE to take it. He has told me what to do. He has written me an instruction manual on how to live my life here on earth. It is my choice whether or not I obey. It is my choice whether or not I choose to get up in the morning and spend time getting to know my Lord & Savior or if I choose to be lazy & sleep in & try to face the day on my own. I had said in a previous post that my quiet time has been lacking for quite awhile. I do not know how I ever thought of fighting any battles without walking through them hand in hand with Jesus Christ. The last two days I have been holding His hand very tightly and I do not plan on letting go. I am just grateful that after all this time, He is still there waiting for me.
