2012

Philippians 3:13-14 - Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.


As we come to an end of another year it is saddening and happy all at the same time. 2011 was a good year. Saw the miracle of my nephews brought into this world. That was the biggest news of the year I suppose. John made it through his surgery fine and we are doing well. What more can a girl ask for?? I do want to press on into 2012 with a vengeance of sacrifice. Putting limitations on myself for a sacrifice of myself to God. Sacrificing food and giving more to God. I am hoping that I can find the strength to stay away from the foods I know I am not supposed to eat. And to have the energy and will power to exercises like I am supposed to.

I do have all of the resources but why do I always make excuses?? I am so sick of it!


"A verse I came across on a blog at the beginning of my weight loss journey is 1 Corinthians 6:12..."Everything is permissible for me-but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible for me-but I will not be mastered by anything." Of course this could apply to any area in our lives but I think of this verse a lot when I'm reaching for that extra helping or that" not so good for my body" treat. Do I really need it? Who really is my master? How am I treating my body?" I just came across this while looking up encouraging bible verses. I think it says what I am trying to say and will be good for me to use as fodder for my blog tomorrow! Time for bed!

Thank you God for new years and new transitions. Thank you for your perfect plan. Please watch over my family and especially JCS that he feel better soon! In Your precious name I pray. Amen.
