I woke up this morning to get to my 745am meeting at work at 720 for some odd reason. My alarm was set for 7 and my morning was already pre-planned the night before yet I still found myself waking up with about 10 minutes exactly (maybe a few minutes less actually) to get my lazy butt to work. Thankfully God didn't allow that to be the theme of the day.
Work was done right. I actually hit 3:5 of my contributions or sales :). Which is a success on a slow day like today. Well, busy but tons of regulars who I have already sold products to. Anyways enough bank jargon.
I was extremely blessed for the most part of the day but my overeating has been a troublesome culprit in the midst of spiritual warfare. Satan is really trying to keep me in bondage to ANYTHING in this world that he can and I being so easily swayed and allowing him to have a bit of victory in that part of my life. The overeating is so random and really the word annoying sums it up. Today on my way home I really had a full on binge session with the devilishly, delicious HOT CHEETOS PUFF CORNS... You see they are 42 pieces a serving and a serving is 140calories and I allow that minor detail to be my reason for buying them. I mean I will only eat a serving anyways, right? No harm in that. Then I have the little flaming hot goodies all alone with me in the car and I have to drive from Ralphs to church and a 2 minute trip turns into the guilty illustration of me with red fingers and a full stomach, saying to myself the whole drive there THIS IS MY LAST BITE!!! But my last bite isn't a last bite in my head because I have forgotten to really feel and allow myself to be full. I know this, yet I cannot seem to put it into practice for a WHOLE day. I haven't had a whole day of eating Intuitively or NOT EATING WHEN I'M NOT HUNGRY in months probably. Maybe a few close calls but nothing memorable.
Yet, I can remember a couple of months of happiness with food. I would get full and have tons of leftovers to choose from in my fridge when I was hungry. I would get full and be satisfied with not eating anything more because food would always be there and I could come back to it when I was hungry. I would be full and the urge to eat for reasons other than being full would deplete.
Please if you feel the need lift up a prayer or two for your struggling sister. FOOD IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I AM. And the Lord, my sweet Jesus. He is capable of interceding on my behalf and He has already given me victory in this area I just can not seem to allow Him to reign. I know He can give it to me but for whatever reason I am stumbling and fumbling into His control in this area. I need Him to be enough for me and not to turn to FOOD when I have no need for it... Please, please pray!
I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME! :)
Love you all
be blessed and let me know
if I can pray for you!! Because
I want to and the Lord wants to
hear you cry out :)...
Hear is to healing and His grace. May we learn everyday to walk in it TRULY!

oh my, thanks so much for your visit this morning and wow can I identify with the food issue. It is my cherished sin, my thorn in my side that I wish was removed...yet would probably miss. Food has long been my comfort and my coping mechanism. I struggle every day and lately fail everyday. Good thing He loves me anyway and I don't earn His grace. Blessings to you!
