I have struggled with my weight as long as I can remember, I’ve probably lost 80 + lbs through Weight Watchers in 10-15 to 20 lbs over and over since I was in high school. Last year God spoke to me telling me I was focusing too much on the points I was counting at Weight Watchers and stop being so hard on myself. You know the drill, “oh I wish my hips were not so cushy, or my thighs we thinner,” and on and on. “I can’t believe another day went by without exercising.” At some point I realized I was offending God’s creation and realized I needed to give it a rest. I prayed and continue to pray to love myself for who God made me to be and who he is shaping me into and to show me how to honor him.
As you will see in the first chapter of Made to Crave Lysa talks about praying for the “want to.” “I want to be healthier, I want to run, I want to do things I did not think were possible.” This brings us to this study we are about to embark on. Whatever you and I crave more than God whether it’s food, shopping, smoking, dreaming of our next vacation my prayer for each of us that we will crave God most of all.
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you who you have received from God? You are not your own therefore honor God with your body.”
1 Corinthians 6: 19 and 20.
Have a wonderful start to your week and I look forward to seeing you Thursday evening. Feel free to bring a friend, more the merrier.
