I have been eating...
and eating and eating and eating for several weeks now. It has been miserable yet I just keep doing it. It tastes good going down even though it has been wreaking havoc on everything else.
Yesterday I decided I needed to take seriously the eating plan I
had come up with 2 weeks ago. I had taken all I have learned about
eating over the years and put together a list of things to eat each
day. (I may share that later.) I needed to be here for my family and
all of my eating was keeping me sluggish and uninterested in anything
but the next thing to eat. I hope eating right will change that.
Something else I have been struggling with is my prayer time. I started journalling my prayers about a year ago. It has been fairly easy for me to write 4 pages a day and sometimes up to 7 or 8 a day. This is nothing to boast about. It is simply how much I need the Lord's help. Lately I have been struggling to do 1-2 pages. I didn't feel connected to God. I got up every morning and tried but it wasn't the same as it had been over the last couple of years. I was not coming away energized for my day.
Guess what happened this morning? My time with the Lord was like it was been in the past. I felt connected again. Amazing how taking my focus off the food, asking for forgiveness for the stronghold food had on me and committing to keeping it in perspective tore down the wall that had been placed between the Lord and I. I didn't even realize the wall that was there but what a relief to see it torn down so quickly.
