It all began with the sound of a drumline. Annoyed, I snoozed my alarm for another five and couldn't help but want another thirty! I don't know why, but I am SO not a morning person. However, my eleven year old has volleyball practice before school and I have to get my hubby off to work. Not to mention that today is Wednesday. I am always blessed on Wednesdays with a wonderful Bible study. So, as I laid there waiting for the drums to jar me from restfulness once again, I asked God to please roll me out of this warm bed and into reality. My pleading turned into praise and thanks and with that came the courage needed to get out of bed.
I made my way to the closet and got on the scale. (Funny. I just realized I keep my weight in the closet! lol) To my utter surprise, it read 198! I was so excited and couldn't quite believe it! I had not only passed my 6 pound hump, but lost another two pounds!! I have now lost 10 pounds since Christmas Day! I am once again under 200 pounds!! Fortunately I wasn't too far over that, but if you're over, you're over! I can't believe it!! I can't wait to keep seeing the numbers go down on that dreaded scale. Who knows. Maybe one day I won't dread the scale! I said, "maybe".
His power at work within me is enabling me to accomplish things I haven't been able to do on my own in years!! I am in awe to have a Shepherd that loves me so much! One that knows every desire of my heart and guides me to safety. (I know it sounds weird, but a kitchen can be a very dangerous place for someone fighting with their weight!) He has taken certain desires from me and replaced them with healthier ones. He has given me life. Not just eternal life, but life to the full!! Praise Him!!
