It is hard being away from the scale. It is showing me that I really need the Lord in this. If it were easy, I would feel like I was doing it on my own. I know that I could fall in a second if I take my eyes off of Jesus. I have such a draw to know what the number is on the scale. My clothes feel pretty much the same since I started this venture, but it is still hard not knowing the actual number. It has been what has defined me the past few years. I want Jesus to be what defines me. I want to look at myself and see Christ's ambassador, His beloved child, the object of His redemption. He is the God of the universe, so He is the one who gets to define me. I don't even have that right. I am not Mrs. 133 pounds, I am Fran Ricks, daughter of the King. Sounds corny, but it is something I need to say over and over again. God set His affection on me not because of my weight but because He chose to love me. My job, appearance, family, friends, etc don't define me, It is Christ alone. Thank you Jesus.
Fran
