The KEY to this ongoing effort to lose weight and stop loving food so much is keeping my eyes on Jesus. I thought I knew that. But recently the old rebelliousness has started to rear its ugly head. Lately I've had numerous moments when I just wanted to eat everything in sight (and did). Smells from the grocery store bakery assault me as I walk by. And the fast food places have been calling out again, as I drive by. So much so, that the other day I found myself looking up nutrition values on the internet for Chick-Fil-A menu items (so I could at least "be honest" and record the infractions if I weakened further and "had" to have it.) What happened? Four months ago I would have said, these tempters had been conquered. The cravings...

Is Faith & Prosperity One? The Bereans inspired me years ago. Acts 17:11 says they had a more noble character than the Thessalonians. In Thessalonica the Jews were jealous of Paul & started a riot. In Berea they were eager to hear the Word & they examined the words of Paul using the scriptures everyday. He preached from the scriptures but they can be twisted. So they went over the scriptures he used & those he did not use. There is the rhema word of God & the principles of God in His Word. He promised the Jews prosperity & brought them into the land but gave them a lot of work to do.It took years for them to drive out the people living in the land. However,they never occupied the entire territory God gave to them. They never...

My sister makes this in her a food processor. You can also just chop everything if you prefer bigger pieces. Yummy. 5 Roma tomatoes (they don't need to be Roma but these have less juice, so she prefers). Cut each one in half and squeeze out the juice 2 to 3 Serrano chilies (these are dark green, usually about 2-3 inches long and mild) - Put some baggies (or plastic gloves) on your hands and cut each in half. Scoop out and discard the insides (seeds). Cut off the stems. Don't touch your eyes before washing your hands very well! If the chilies are too spicy you can add a small can of tomato sauce. Green onion - chop a few individual stalks (our family is not big on onion!) Fresh Cilantro - a big handful. (doesn't need to be pre-chopped...

He is changing my heart and mind and attitudes toward food. Praise the Lord 20 lbs lost as of today! He is showing me this is no sprint. It's a marathon. And I'm only on the first mile. But that's one less to go! I encourage my friends who are also trying to lose to keep weighing since that provides accountability. We tend to fool ourselves about how much we are consuming. But don't get hung up on the weight it and lose hope when you are totally obedient and only see 1/2 pound drop some weeks, or just stay the same. Your consistency over the weeks and months and years to come will bring results. For some of us, we need that time to develop new attitudes, drop the old bad habits ingrained in us for many years. Thank the Lord for it all...

STAND IN THE WAYS AND SEE, AND ASK FOR OLD PATHS, WHERE THE GOOD WAY IS, AND WALK IN IT; THEN YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. JEREMIAH 6:16 WHEN GOD FORGIVES, HE REMOVES THE SIN AND RESTORES THE SOUL. Jeremiah was not called the "Prophet of Tears and Trust" without good reason. Today's verse, standing alone, does not seem too awful. When you read the context of the verses surrounding it, the story becomes very different. Jeremiah's service and obligation to God was to tell Israel's king and her leaders of their grievous sins of omission and commission against what God's Word had instructed. God states His charge against them in verses 13-15 of Chapter 6. Before going any further, any nation guilty of such shortcomings comes...

Pounds lost so far = 13 lbs. Praising the Lord and praying I never find them again. Praying my mind and heart will be changed forever and I will not desire to go looking for them! (The pounds that is...no desire to lose my mind and heart!) When frustrated... There was one day last week I got really frustrated with some work, and I sensed the urge to eat coming on. This has been a major trigger for me in the past. Getting frustrated for some reason and turning to food for comfort. The Lord was merciful, He helped me stay on course, but I did get a little anxious. Ephesians 6 is my battle plan. Got to be ready and in tune with the Holy Spirit always! Need the ammunition of the Word to refute the enemy's destructive lies. Some of his...
