It never ceases to amaze me how God can use different people and circumstances to really allow us to grow in wisdom, love and fellowship with Him. The most amazing thing is that sometimes I think I have things figured out, but then God shows me a completely different path. There's a lot of things I still need to work through in my life. God has given us all desires in our hearts and sometimes we struggle with discerning what is God's will and what is our own selfish manipulation of God's will.
Since I've lost weight, my life has been totally turned upside down. I'm not a different person, but rather I am becoming the person that was always inside struggling to get out...the confident woman of God that I have been scared to face. I used my weight as a cage and locked myself in, using food to suppress traumatic things in my childhood. I know I'm not alone in saying that there is often something underlying addictions that we don't want to deal with. Things in our past whether physical/sexual abuse, bullying, illness, death, family issues, other traumas and stress, they all can be suppressed. The Lord is the Ultimate Counselor, Healer and Friend. He loves us and can help us overcome any or all these issues once we surrender them all at His feet. What a feeling of FREEDOM!
Now more than ever, I am ready to follow through with physical training!
