It is our desire in the wrong thing that turns us away. God is always there waiting for us to fall into his arms instead of the KFC bucket!

I guess I've always felt like it was a vain thing - therefore I had no business asking God to help me out with that one.

Thank you for such an amazing insight and for leading back along a blessed path - for that I am truly grateful!Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170383814636792641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-18700066983515198292010-05-07T12:20:44.672-05:002010-05-07T12:20:44.672-05:00Love that.

So many things have fallen into place with that little revelation.<br /><br />I knew that this journey to lose weight was different than past attempts. I knew that this weight loss attempt was so much more than a diet. <br /><br />That this struggle, this time, would be used to grow me spiritually--really more than it would reduce me physically. I just knew this time it was about God.<br /><br />And when I read this post, I had an 'aha' moment, a "There it is." kind of thing. Threads of thoughts and posts and Scriptures wove together in an instant.<br /><br />Hmm, well I won't write my own post here. chuckle.<br /><br />But this has got me going!

My scripture that kept me going was "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." Ether 12:27 I went from not being able to run a mile to running seven with out stopping. He did make my "weakness" a "strength."<br />Anne (mom of James)Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00011631336347401117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-36062151313790473362010-05-07T11:39:04.752-05:002010-05-07T11:39:04.752-05:00All I can say is WOW.

Keelie, ...and that understanding is revolutionary! Keelie, i have had the same kind of thought, myself. i tried to convince myself for so long that food was my only vice; just my own personal could-be-worse thorn. but when i'm honest with myself, i see that reasoning was yet another excuse to pig out to please the flesh. and that food is most certainly not my only vice.<br /><br />perhaps my favorite part of all this is that we can boast in our weakness. no need to deny or hide! i believe i will deal with my own compulsive, destructive, flesh-pleasing thoughts the rest of my life. but that's not failure; BEATING them is a battle worth fighting, and the victory is in Jesus.<br /><br />love!Absolutely, Positively Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390174411255786861noreply@blogger.com
