I weighed myself for the last time yesterday around 10am. I am wondering right now what I weigh. I don't like knowing, but it is the only way I can trust God. If I keep relying on the scale, I trust in it instead of my Heavenly Father. It never satisfies. God promises that He can satisfy. I want to know what it means to walk by faith and not by sight. My life has been full of fail attempts. I have started so many things, that I have not finished. One of them is honoring God with how I eat. When I had my scale, I could make food work for me. I was consumed with eating, then running off what I ate, then eating some more, then running some more. Depending on what the scale said, I would be happy or sad. I would go to events or not go depending on the number. I would like myself or despise myself. It affected the way I treated others and myself. I don't want to live the rest of my life like that. I just want to be faithful. How can I eat to honor the Lord? This is what I think, relatively healthy, small meals with no snacking. Here I go starting this second step. First, giving up my scale for a year. Second, eating to honor God. We will see how it goes. On a lighter note, I have been a light ash blonde girl for about 15 years now. I went back to my natural color today. It is brown, but you know, I kind of like it. It symbolizes the change that has to start in my heart. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Jesus, I want to be free in You. I love you.
