Choosing Joy

• May. 7, 2006 - I am blogging to keep from going in to the kitchen!

And no, it is not to avoid doing the dishes. Totally unrelated to homeschooling, but I eat when bored, when anything, basically, and I am trying to not do that - so here I am. So, I will fill my spirit with good life-giving food!

 

Jesus said, "I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly" John 10:10

 

John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty."

 

John 6:53-58 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. 57Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."

 

Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

 

Galatians 5:16  So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

 

Gal. 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.

 

ok, the moment has passed, I am filled with Jesus, and I pray someone reading this is encouraged or strengthened by God's marvelous, amazing word and love!!

Thank you!!

I eat out of boredom, too. I am sitting here trying to fill my head with enough happy thoughts to overcome the boredom hunger. Unfortunately, my computer is in the kitchen/dining room... but your post gave me strength to avoid the pantry.

Here's something completely calorie-free to do: List 6 random things about yourself, then tag six more people. Hey, it kept me from eating for about twenty minutes! ;-)

I am avoiding my kitchen at this very moment. Those dishes do need washing.
