Small Baby Steps

I am excited about being on the road to freedom.  It is going to be a LONG road but freedom in Christ is worth it.  I have made a small baby step.  My friend encouraged me last Thursday to rid myself on the strongholds in this trap: those being my scales, running, soft drinks, snacking,  and going to get fast food when I am with myself or with my kids.  She said it would be a good place to start until I could start meeting with someone about the deeper issues involved in this addiction.  Well, I went home after meeting with her and friend that Thursday night.  It has been four days since I have had any of these.  That is a small baby step but a huge victory for me.  I have never been that consistent for that long since I was 10.  I know it is just four days and I have a LONG way to go, but Praise God for baby steps.  I humbly say this to give God the glory.  That is not me.  I tried the past 25 years to be free.  Praise God He has given me these four days so far.  I am patiently waiting on Him for my next step.  I am trying not to be anxious and make it happen on my own.  I have done that in the past, and it got me nowhere.  I am asking Jesus to help me be faithful for each meal.  I am taking it meal by meal not even day by day at this point.  Jesus, make me free so I can serve you for your glory and your glory alone.
