Dear Jennifer

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12 NIV

I was looking for a verse of reflection today to start the 2012 year. When I went to my bible web site where I find different versions of the bible so that I can understand better this is the verse that was on the web site as the verse of the day. I had already thought about writing a letter to myself about my life and how I want to be successful in finding out the real Jennifer and this one was PERFECT! Thank you God for giving me this verse today!

Jennifer, even though you have been heavy your whole life you know that your days are numbered! You need to do what you know you should do just for that reason and none other. You know that heart problems run in your family, so why are you letting things that are out of your control prevent you from doing the things that are in your control. Why are you eating things you know are not beneficial to your life. For the simple fact that your paternal grandmother passed away at 42 should be reason enough to get that kick in the butt that you need. What is the matter!!

For you Jennifer, I want you to make better choices today. Don't think about tomorrow but do what you know you should today. Eat a good breakfast and good lunch. Watch your portions at dinner and skip dessert. That is your plan today! Gods plan is above and beyond what you can control but you can control what you put in your mouth and how you move your body. Make it happen today. Just for today! Tomorrow there will be something different!

Thank you God for reminding me to count my days. That they are numbered and that I don't want to look back from Heaven and think of the things that I should have done! I love you so much and want to hear you speak to me and learn from my mistakes of the past to gain a better knowledge of the path you have for me! Amen!
