Well "Becoming the woman I want to be" is going really good. it is kinda werd for me. I have never tried to lose weight slowly. Anytime I tried to lose weight I tried to find what would bring it off fastest. It is hard trying to pace myself to lose slowly. I always want to rush ahead and do something drastic and lose a quick 20lbs. I guess this is a lesson I need to learn when is comes to diet and God. I can not rush ahead of the Lord, becaus when I do that is when I fall. Same with diet. Time and time again I try to rush it and fall. It is a hard thing to hold myself back just because that is who I am. I am a "go getter". I feel I am getting closer with the Lord also. I have a long way to go, but I will never get there if I don't walk. I am about to move into week 2 which mean more steps are about to be added. I am ready.
God bless
How's is going?? I've not read that particular book but have a few others that may have the same concepts of living a godly life and understanding our roles as God designed. My husband has referred to me before as a "race car" because I'm I go all out and then crash out of control, because I get excited about things and give it all I have only to peter out and look for something else exciting to start. So this time is different for me too. He keeps reminding me that it's in the "little things we do everyday" that makes the difference. And so far that is proving out for me. Ben Franklin made a list of 13 qualities he didn't like in himself and wanted to change and he started with just one - and then tackled them one by one. But it's so tempting to try and change everything at once, and I'm learning true success comes with the little changes that we can hold to - then as one becomes a new habit - to add another thing. I've also heard "Inch by Inch - It's a cinch!" Glad your feeling closer to the Lord - He never moves - it's always us that move away - and it's our move to come back and walk with Him. Keeping you in my prayers! :) Lorraine |
