Progress isn't always a straight line
I decided to treat the dirty window as one of my daily tasks. I wrote in my planner on a specific day and time when I would clean that window! I’m grinning as I write this thinking, "I scheduled a time to clean the window?"; yet that’s how I knew I would get it done.
When we got to the top deck, I was reminded that the rock-climbing wall was there. I watched as some of my friends climbed, and I knew I wanted to get to the top and ring the bell! What about you, what’s something you are wanting to achieve?
Every single trade-off comes from making a decision - sometimes it’s a good decision, sometimes it isn’t.
Before I started my weight-loss journey, my trade-offs were bad decisions. I was trading my health, for food.
In January 1971, I made a decision to make better choices on my trade-offs.
Did you know that when you talk about the "could haves" and "should haves" in your life, you are speaking disempowering words to yourself? And the words you speak matter.
For me, I had so many “could haves” and “should haves” surrounding my weight loss (release) journey.
Do you ever have an empty feeling? A feeling of not being fulfilled?
How do you satisfy that empty feeling?
As humans, we search for fulfillment with fleshly desires.
What if, the next time you are feeling empty/unfulfilled, you satisfy your cravings with spending time with God?
He's the only one who can satisfy the craving.
He's the only one who can fulfill your hunger and thirst - Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled (satisfied)."
When reading your bible, do you notice how The word "all" is used so much! When I read the word "all", I know that God wants me to give 100% to what it says.
What sin so easily trips you up? Do you know? As I read Hebrews 12:1 this morning, I asked myself that question and I prayed and asked God to show me. I journaled this scripture this morning using first person and I invite you to do the same. I have found reading the scripture in first person takes on a whole new meaning. It truly makes it "personal."
"He (Jesus) disarmed the rulers and authorities (demonic) and put them to open shame (shamed them publicly) by triumphing over them in Him (His victory over them on the cross.") Colossians 2:15
How are you approaching your day - your life?
Do you approach it as a victorious day (life)? Or do you approach it feeling defeated?
Yes, some days are tougher than others and satan does his best to make you think he's the winner.
As I was thinking about how I wanted to approach this scripture, I thought of a ball game.
