Weight Loss Plan Anyone?

What is in a plan?  What makes one plan different from another when looking to release weight?

Do I have the plan for you!  It is over-your-head simple.  It can be challenging at times even though it is simple. Have you ever thought about how our bodies were created?  Think about this for a minute would you...when you see a baby eating and he has had enough, what does he do?

He turns his head away.  It isn't until little ones are old enough for us adults to reprogram them into eating for reasons other than hunger that they start to eat more.  I am learning to get back to that, eating for hunger alone.  Though I cannot do this myself, I've tried.  There is a reason we want food for other reasons than hunger.  It is to fulfill a hole in us that was only designed to be filled by God, who created us. 

I want Him to be my desire.  I surrendered my eating again today.  I am going to have to do this everyday.  So that He is in charge of it.  I gave up.  If you desire to release excess weight, well then releasing the excess food we put in our mouths is the answer.  Ask God for help or check out some of the resources on my side bar that have been helping me, #1 being His Word.

John 4:32-34 'But He said, "I have food to eat that you don't know about.  The disciples said to one another, "Could someone have brought Him something to eat?"  "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work," Jesus told them.'

True Satisfaction

Yesterday I missed my quiet time.  I wanted to squeeze in whatever I could hear from God that day so that I knew He was still with me and guiding me.  And He showed me just what I needed to hear yesterday.  He showed me I could rest.  Stop grabbing for things to try and give ME what I needed.  As I listened to K-Love and driving along Scenic Highway after taking my children to school...the morning show hosts were talking.  Someone called in and was talking about how she was newly married, 18 years old, and was working this new job she just started.  She was working 50 hours a week and was finding it difficult not to become angry that she was working so much and could not spend time with her husband.

Then...

She remembered that she had prayed for a full time job.  Wow.  What she was living was an answered prayer.

Then the host said this.  That goes to show that even when we pray for things and we get them, and we STILL are not satisfied, that we realize where our true satisfaction comes from.  What we were created to be finding our only satisfiaction in.

JESUS.

Do you need to hear today that HE is your only satisfaction.  Him alone.  Are you seeking for something to satisfy your deepest longing and just cannot seem to make it happen yourself?  It seems strange to the world to think that.  Heck even I keep asking for things, get them, and then realize its NOT what I really wanted to begin with.  Its all temporary and false.  He is the only real thing.  I need a fresh reminder of this moment by moment.  

Ask Him to satisfy your every longing today, join me in doing that.  How quickly I seem to forget.  

Lord meet us where we are and help us allow You to be our only source of satisfaction and to desire you more each moment.  In Jesus Name, Amen

Listen...

10 Million Things

There are 10 million things I could write about right now it seems.  This morning the battle in my mind I cannot being to explain.  It is amazing how crazy it can be on the inside when on the outside we can appear just fine.  Crazy I say!

business,choices,decisions,directions,metaphors,options,roads,signs,women,people

So today there are a few things I want to chat about.  One is that Monday is for the kitchen!  So today I plan to set my timer and I will move all things off floor and sweep and mop.  Then I will wipe cabinets with soapy cloth and feel so refreshed because I love a good clean kitchen floor!  You know there are those things in your house, where for you, when it is done it is all good.  It feels like your house is clean.  But if "it" is not done, then it seems so dirty and chaotic.  Well that is my "it"...the kitchen floor.

So if you ever feel overwhelmed about your house and you don't know where to start...search your heart a minute, take a mental walk around your house and find that one thing.  What is it for you that when it is done/clean/organized you feel better and at ease?  Is it your kitchen sink, kitchen floor, ring around that toilet, bathroom counters wiped off, clutter picked off the floors in the house...?

business,businessmen,gestures,hands raised,happiness,kneeling,praying,smiling,thankful,relief

The next thing is this.  When my mind is frazzled and 10 million things are running around...God reminded me this morning to stop, take my focus off of myself and towards Him, and praise Him.  Ask Him for His plans for me in my mind and in my day.  Keeping myself focused on myself is not going to help me at all.  

I made a short list that can be so super infinity long about God and all He is to me and all He is period.  Those things included:  Lover of my soul, my perfect provision, Creator of all things, I'm the apple of His eye, the most awesome sky I saw when I walked out my front door this morning, He made that!  Then I went on and made a list of who I am in Him.  If I get all mixed up in my head and forget who I am in Him, that is wasting time, ack!!!  Remind me so many times that again and again, and I will continue to need reminding.  I am MORE than a conqueror through Him, I am the apple of His eye, I am dead to sin and alive in Christ!!  I am a child of the living God!!  He lives in me!  I am a new creation!  AMAZING.

So now to restart my day and freshen up.  Reminders to myself, I do NOT have to have a perfect day.  This day will not be perfect.  If I try and go by my plans especially, it will not be perfect.  I will always be in His sight and in His hand.

Psalm 139:10 ..."even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me."



Can I pray for you today?

Slow Down.

Slowwwwwwwwwwwwww dowwwwwwwwwwwwwn me.

He is here.

I am completely dependent on Him.

I am not in control.  I am not God.  I am not my own.  I do NOT know it all.

Slow down and listen.

If I rush ahead of the Lord of my life, I am only making a decision that will make me miserable and make me question what is going on...when in reality I just need to:

Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world.

Photographs,road signs,road trips,roads,signs,slow,text,traffic controls,traffic signs,transportation,travels,United Kingdom,warnings

Slow down because you are missing SO much when you speed by Him.  You are missing God's best for you.  Let Him lead.

This is a reminder for me I am sharing, but maybe you feel the same way sometimes?  Cry out to Him to help you today to be still and know that He is God.

Hear this...

I'm found in Him!



I'll be found in you. There is a line in this song that says something like my cares and troubles will be under my feet, that means my foundation is Jesus, my solid rock, everything else is under my feet. I am so excited that when everything fades, I am found in Him, My Savior, all that matters. He is my life! My new life, my new identity is all in Him! He is everything!
