Has not been around in a long time ... But I feel it today. And I am grateful. I was thinking of that very ancient Amy Grant song about spending time on the mountaintop. (Yes, I realize that dates me and her, but there we go.)
I am aching to weigh myself to see if this is making any difference (by this I mean the new eating program), but I am going to resist. I am going to weigh on Mondays and that is it. I do, however, feel better in my mid-section. The positive feeling feels great. Have you heard that quote: Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. ? Well, I agree right now that nothing sounds as good as continuing to feel positive and better inside feels.
So often when we gain some diligence in one area, it spills over. It appears to be happening around me right now. Hmmm .. is that exciting or what? Perhaps if you are feeling underneath it all right now, the positive comments might annoy you. Sorry about that. I've been where you are more than where I am. And I am happy to report that doing the right thing long enough paid off. I have kept the faith and run the race (well, I haven't actually run yet, but you know what I mean). And the answers and help are showing themselves.
Here's another quote: the teacher appears when the student is ready. I think I believe that now. Never really have before, never gave it much consideration; but I am ready and the teacher has arrived. I devoured about half of the Eat to Live book last night and he asked for a 6 week commitment. He said that will be the hardest part. I decided to set my sights on Mother's Day. It's a bit more than 6 weeks away, but it is a good goal. I am hoping to wear something new out of my closet to church that day and maybe surprise my family. I'm not sharing much with them at this point (unless they read this), so we'll see when they notice something.
Anyway ... God is good. He keeps us through the tough times, encourages our faith, and graces us with His favor.
A grateful girl ...
