DAY 2 THUMPIN' DOWN THE HEALING PATH AWAY FROM OVER EA
by Biblethumper » Sat Apr 13, 2013 4:03 pm
Wow! I am totally enamored with this program! Stuff literally jumps of the page and smacks me between the eyes. This has been what it's been like for me lately. I kid you not! I am ON FIRE FOR JESUS!
Today's lesson has taught me so much!
As I work in my garden I have learned that God will make it grow! I can supply the water and the stuff needed to help it grow but it's God that makes it happen!
1 Corinthians 3:7
So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
See I hit it right on the head! What a relief this is! I have learned that it doesn't matter what I do or say to make things better because it is God and God only that can heal me.
It's not about how hard I workout at the gym, what I eat and don't eat, how I much I try to add this and take away that. It's about praying, worshipping, loving, praising, repenting, listening and most of all its about acknowledging that God is the one who is in charge. I have been fighting this battle all my life. There have been a couple times that I did succeed in losing weight. After this I thought I had all the answers. I was so caught up in my earthly knowledge that I shouted it from the roof tops! Then came the time where I let my guard down and told myself, "It's okay if I have some of this because I had all the answers". As I look back I eventually wore myself out because how much effort it took to try and fool myself I could do it on my own.
Soooo....Now I sit here with all the weight that I lost came right back on! This time has been the worst I think. I have been so disgusted in myself that I litrally get distraught about it. I workout a lot. I take some classes at the gym. I'm the only fat girl in the room. I really mean that. Every time I do the workout I go home telling myself that I have done well and now I will work really hard for the rest of the day to watch what I eat. Then....at about 6 PM this little voice tells me, "You've done so well all day you can have some of those wonderful home made oatmeal cookies". Then I wake up the next morning feeling horrible. The cycle starts all over again. I tell myself, "This next workout will be it" Ha! This goes around and around and around.
From this lesson today I have learned that first of all I have to take all that garbage I have been telling myself and purging from my mind. IT IS GOD WHO WILL HEAL ME AND NO ONE ELSE!
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
It's Gods will that I have gone through hardships. All along I have been trying to fit into a mold that society expects of me.
WRONG! LET GO LET GOD! I have to remember that it takes time to grow stuff in a garden. With tender loving care and by the grace of God it will grow!
WOW! What exciting news! With each lesson I am learning something new. Yesterday's lesson was about finding peace within myself. Today is about letting God take over. I have to let him enter into my being. I have learned that the source of my problem is Satan!
BE GONE WITH YOU UGLY MEAN DEVIL. GOD IS MOVIN' IN!
Dear Lord,
Thank you so much for bringing me more understanding from today's lesson. I have learned that I don't have to do this by myself. I have to give it all to you and you will heal me. No more building false expectations and lieing to myself for it is you and only you that will and CAN make it happen! Take me out of my comfort zone. Take me out of this crazy way of thinking. Fill me with positive thoughts and positives ways to live the way you want me to live.
MOST OF ALL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE WITH ME!
YOU ARE MY LIGHT, MY JOY AND MY EVER LOVING LORD!
WOO HOO!
PRAISE JESUS!
IN THE NAME OF JESUS AMEN!
