I have basically fallen off the horse for almost a month. I thank the Lord that I haven't gained all the weight back that I lost. TAKS, Meredith's graduation, my mom's condition and college classes have definitely taken their toll on my stress level. I have overeaten...many times. But I have also made good choices. It appears that those are balanced out because I haven't gained. I am determined to get back in the saddle and ride on toward my goal of losing at least 30 pounds. I am about half way there (Praise the Lord!)
One day a week or so ago, my morning devotional had a scripture that I know the Lord was telling me. It was 1Peter 1:13-16. It says, "So think clearly and exercise self-control. Look forward to the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. Don't slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn't know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy." I know God was speaking to me through His precious Word. He is telling me to get back in the saddle, stay on that horse and don't turn around and go back. Ride off into the sunset. The destination will be so much better than I can ever imagine.
