As I struggle to get through a workout that would have been a breeze for me in high school, I'm struck by how out of shape I truly am.. In fact, I cry out multiple times through out my workout for the good Lord to bring me through it. As a person who has always been into sports and participated in athelectics for much of my academic careers, it's incredibly discouraging to find myself where I am today.
Although no one likes to feel like a failure or that they cannot accomplish whatever they set their mind to, the reality is that without my Savior, I can't. I can't reach my goals. I can't be the woman I so long to be. I can't be the wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend, nurse, etc. without Him. As humbling as feelings of defeat can be, I hope I never forget that I need Him every second of every day. That without God LITERALLY holding me together, I can't.
I will carry on this journey only by God's grace. I need Him, O how I need Him. I have faith He will bring me through victorious. I have such high hopes for where He will bring me to when this journey of weight loss is complete. I know it will be a life long struggle to maintain health even when weight loss is achieved. No matter what obstacles may come my way, I know my God is GREATER! My heart is overflowing with joy for the life I can have through my loving Father. I love Him and I know He loves me with a love so deep and unimaginably I cannot fathom the depth. That is peace that passes all understanding.
Until next time, with love keep resting in His love and striving for your goals <3
