victory

I have struggled so much with homemade candy. I love it, and several of my students brought me bags of the peanut butter chocolate. I had done so well,but I blew it and ate about 12 pieces. I didn't eat them all at once, but over the course of the day, and I was not hungry at the time.

I thought, "Now you've done it, no weight loss in 4 weeks, and you are going to gain." I had been faithful to seek the Lord's face, and have enjoyed my TW workbook, and my Beth Moore Esther Bible study. My daughter's husband has joined us; he doesn't understand it all yet, but wants to try. He is such a blessing to me, a godly man. I am so happy he is seeking God's will in this area.

So this morning, I felt the Lord urging me to weigh. I knew I would gain, but I said to myself, I know this is not me, no way would I weigh today. I was down 3 pounds, because of HIS mercy. I will continue to seek His face, and whatever happens with the weight I can handle it with his guidance. And HIS presence I seek more than the weight loss; HE has met me every morning!
