Was busy writing a post at The Sacrificial Diet Face book group and shared a video I did two years ago. As usual, whenever I watch this one, it always cracks me up.
Well I should say, I crack myself up.
LOL.
This is what I wrote to the ladies at the group this morning:
I have learned to be content with whatever I have. I have learned the secret of living in every situation. Philippians 4:11-12
I got to thinking about this scripture above. Especially concerning weight release. I've shared before that when I first started the journey at 260 lbs., and size 3X was getting snug on me (size 24 was getting really tight by that time girls), I cried out to God that 'I'd be happy with being a size 14 Lord'. Here I sit now at a size 4.
What I've learned on this journey these last 6 years is being content in the moment. Not wishing for the 'goal' to arrive, not being impatient for the time I've 'reached' that goal, but being content NOW.
Being thankful that I am living a healthier life style, that I no longer have dizzy spells and feeling as though I would faint (which was a daily occurrence near the end before the journey),being content with where I am AND praising God that He isn't finished with me yet. Being content that I WILL reach my goal, in God's time. Trusting that I'm going to reach that goal but being content on the journey to reach that goal.
I remember I did a video called Embracing your muffin top. I shared that if I didn't love myself now, when I reached my goal, would I love myself than?...I will go and get it and bring it here...warning...make sure you have some 'depends' on ladies, you may laugh your self to the bathroom..LOL. Blessings
Oh God! Thank God I just emptied my bladder...LOL...I knew I had to come here because I sensed the humor from the title. Glad I did! That's awesome sister that you lost weight and still are able to love the way you look! I think you look great...
Sometimes, I pray for gravity-defying things to support what droops in our bodies..But I know that's a wrong intention...More likely He won't grant that...LOL...
But I do know that He loves us, not for the ways we appear but the conditions of our hearts.
Now, I was getting lazy to go biking (stationary) as it is a cold morning and as you know, I'm still sitting on my buns visiting friends...I must say time to get up and bike!!! Your vlog and post blessed me...Blessings.
This was great! Thank you for sharing it (and the bit about the moles...I have the same problem). I'm starting out at nearly the same point you did (241.4) and it is hard to love what I see in the mirror. Our view of ourselves is so tied to our size. I'm working to shake that off along with the pounds.
Fearless Friday is something that the Lord placed upon my heart at the end of 2008. I know the prayers of the righteous man availeth much as God's Word states. It DOES bring about God's yoke destroying, burdening removing shackle breaking power in the midst of your life. This is about sharing your prayer requests with me and I with you. I would be honored to pray for and with you!
God's miracle couple!
My Family
May God be gracious to you and bless you and make His face shine upon you!
