Good Morning on this Blessed New Year's Day!!!!! Well, it is day 5 for me on this journey to awareness and change.... It has and hasn't been easy. I have learned these 5 days if I keep my focus on what is real and true(Hunger and fullness). It can be really easy to resist those temptations to eat "just because", which is where all the extra comes from... God designed our bodies to work all by themselves, but we need to follow all our physical instinctive signals......the stomach actually growls when we are genuinely hungry and we are expected to feed it..... but when we are "looking" for something to eat, we can be sure it is our hearts looking for a feeling..... That is when I have been going to our creator to help fill my heart.... He is so awesome!!! Yesterday I was trying to convince myself I "needed" a Milky Way, when in fact I had just eaten lunch...LOL... So I was determined to fill my own need and searched for a dollar to put in the vending machine.... Well, it was quite a struggle to get the dollar, and work my way back to the vending machine during work.....when I got to the vending machine and put my dollar in and pushed the numbers for the Milky Way, that I just had to have......well, the vending machine wouldn't work it said to make another selection.... well, I didn't want anything else, but of course tried again..LOL.... well, absolutely nothing in the machine would come out..... I stepped back and was laughing to myself.... God has rescued me from making a poor judgement on hunger...... I chose at that point to recognize God trying to help me and I stepped away from the machine ...got my dollar back and walked away. As I walked away I realized I was not hungry at all...and I didn't NEED the milky way, as much as I was trying to convince myself I did.... It was amazing growth I experienced yesterday..... I have been thanking God every minute for his guidance.....Today, I will step back at every turn and ask our Lord to help me make a decision not only with all life but with my eating habits.... to change them...to be the person He means for me to be...in Victory......
Wishing all of Bolg friends an Awesome Victorious New Year..... this is the year of God's favor.......Embrace it!!!!!
